So turning back to the joining thread (unless someone wants to change the thread title to "How much is Jimmy Keinhorst on?") where do we think we need to strengthen most?

Options as I see it are as follows:

Full Back
Preferred - Pickersgill; Brown
Back up - Evans
Fringe - Stephenson

Wing
Preferred - Johnson; DFJ
Back up - Evans
Fringe -

Centre
Preferred - Oakes; Evans
Back up - Brown
Fringe - Culling; Punton

Half Back
Preferred - Lilley; Milnes
Back up - Pickersgill
Fringe - Green; Shackleton

Prop
Preferred - Crossley; England; Kirk
Back up -
Fringe - Foster; Scurr

Hooker
Preferred - Flanagan; Doyle
Back up - Hallas
Fringe - Berry

Back Rower
Preferred - Hallas; Farrell; Hodgson
Back up - Oakes
Fringe - Vaznys; Gallagher

You've missed off Butterworth and Leadbeater, who both play on the wing.

Mikey Wood just been announced by Newcastle.

Did we lose any juniors this off season other than Mudoti?

There was talk of that Murphy being on the cusp of fist team last season but he doesn't seem to have been mentioned stepping up.

That would be 8 signings instead of the mooted 6. Possibly evidence that we'll be reliant on the DR system as many have suggested.

Yeah, but I feel we need 8 more bodies wether they come from DR and we sign them.

Surprised we haven’t tried getting Sammut back for another stint. I know he has some flaws in his game but he would go well for us I feel. Apparently Batley are talking to him so you would imagine he isn’t asking for silly money.

With the rumours around Kear and Chisholm last year and there being a clash on style of play, I wouldn't be surprised if Sammut wasn't Kear's kind of half back in the same way that Dane wasn't.

The thing that concerns me is with the bodies that we have is how the hell are we supposed to run a reserve side as well.
