If we can get to 9th with two props and one and a half half backs for most of last season then I predict we will go one better with 8th with a squad that has more experienced players than last year more props more half backs and a bit more bulk. there is of course the issue of which "always injured so get rid of now" player will come good. whoever it is has big shoes to step into, Langley and Scruton the last two victims/victors. My hope is that all three candidates, Diskin Purtell and Sidlow, share joint honours. Ok I know that only Diskin has had hard lines on this forum, but for Purtell it was implicit in his lack of selection in the starting 17, and Sidlow its just a wish of mine as I want four fiery frontline props firing all season.
