Said the other week in here about Balmforth's fitness, but he's got massive potential and with a good pre season he will be sharing hooking duties with Danny next sesason, think it will be Mints and Tag's last season next year with another year in Laidlaw, Brown and I'd like to see us get another prop in ready for when Tag goes.

Brett mentioned Balmforths fitness in an interview not that long ago, Dave K too. I hope he's given a good go next season.

I do wonder if we'll look to bring in another 'middle forward' too instead of a backrower.

Really really disappointing that Houghton will be our starting hooker again next season. Almost everyone can see we are crying out for a change at dummy half yet we reward Danny with another year.

Was hoping Lovodua would be starting 9 with a new 9 or Balmforth on the bench.
Really big mistake by the club IMO.

Surely Houghton not our 9 next season, massive mistake if so, he's also done. Just not mentally sharp anymore

I also don't see where Lover fits in if he isn't hooking as I'd rather see Ligi 13. Lover waste of an overseas spot IMO

Or if he can recover Cator.

Sounds similar to when we tried to sign Eloni Vunakece after he starred in the WC.

Was he that Fijian prop? Think he ended up at the Roosters for a few seasons

Was that after he served some time for trying to murder Bart Simpson?

FORGOT ABOUT HIM

Need a hooker.
I’d also keep Smith over Lovodua if we’re signing a utility player, unless we play Joe at nine.
