Farrell and Bateman aren't bad for 2 'smaller' backrowers.

Its the weight he needs to add at least 8/10 kilos
If he could add that sort of weight without losing his pace then he could be a very good player

The point is we don't necessarily need a big backrower to replace Ma'u.

Admittedly though we'll miss his defensive presence. As much as I like Longstaff, his defence does need work.

I couldn't spell his name so I had to leave him out

BH said 1 maybe 2 more to come in for next season. Not sure if this includes players we have clauses with who are already here (Walker and Smith)

Personally if we can make Longstaff and Walker permanent I think we'll be in pretty decent shape.

9 would still be a priority, but sounds like we'll run with Houghton for 1 more season.

Walker/Hoy
Swift
Carlos
Sutcliffe
Mcintosh

Connor
Trueman

Sao
Houghton/Lovodua
Evans
Lane
Savelio
Brown

Taylor
Satae
Fash
Lovodua/Balmforth

Laidlaw
Longstaff
Cator

Scott
Griffin?
Mitch
Wynne
Barron
Litten

McNamara
Hookem

Think the club have run out of patience with Griffin. Sutcliffe’s signing has it written all over it. I lost it when, having had a really poor season and spending most of it in the stand, he stated, publicly, he wants to finish his career at FC.

McIntosh will have to improve to keep his place, on this season, I'd have Mitch over him on the wing.
