A reasonable, moderate take as always.

If you pay a 3 year pass over 12 months and the money is spent in 2025, where does the income come from for 2026 and 27? This sounds very iffy

Cust is one. Remember this time last year when AP said something about 6 new signings coming in even though we’d only made 5 or whatever and everyone was trying to guess who it could be? it ended up being Diakhate who’d already spent the previous season in the reserves. I’d always take any claims at season ticket time with a pinch of salt, I expect all clubs do it.

It's not Cust. A domestic prop and outside back (hopefully)

Cust is happening but it’s not been announced yet so must be one of the two signings. New DT article on the membership launch goes into a little bit of detail on the second target and says ‘hard working middle’ as we all expected it would be.
Closest to that would be Bullock maybe? Unless they pull something off left field.

Still can't believe that Myler, Last and Cartwright looks at our Centre options and think they are good enough. Even if we added some depth, someone like Connor Wrench or Jayden Myers (or look to Union) I'd feel a bit better about that position. Looks the only position we are weaker in for 2025 compared to 2024.

I’m not fully convinced Rapana isn’t earmarked for centre. I did think at the time of the Chamberlain signing clubs don’t usually sign 29 year olds on 3 year deals to be a ‘backup’ like the consensus was on here at the time. Someone like Hampshire at Wigan is there just as a utility but they spend a lot more on the cap then we do and imagine he’ll only be on a one year deal. I think Chamberlain will at least start the season as first choice centre and maybe move Rapana around and use Moy as fulllback later on.
