one thing is certain , given what we have already we are going to be a team no one really looks forward to playing next season, if Omeley stays than its a bonus but if he goes he goes....
i think galea was extra to the plan as he came up as available and PG thought , well we will have him and in he came but not one of the initial plan IMO.
Our front row is already class, our back row as good as anyones for next year, we have pace and cover in all areas now
bring on 2013

I am not so sure about that tbh, the only vast improvement so far is Ellis & Holdsworth we need a few more good signings to be confirmed is we want to be top 4 next year.
I am undecided about Galea tbh he is a good player no doubt but he will be 35 yrs old and the key will be keeping him fit one thing is for sure though had Agar signed him this board would have gone into meltdown with claims of another ageing Aussie.

Three excellent props signed for next year, along with 3 young props battling in out for the 4th spot.

Looks good to me, very happy with our pack.

Just another halfback and Ill be very happy and have a team that should challenge the top 4.

I can see what you mean but surely you consider Watts an improvement as well??
Holdsworth and Ellis add real X Factor to the job IMO, and will be clear for all to see having class specialists in place like those, the final piece in the jigsaw is Chase for me although given an off season operation and so on I still think Seymore has tons to offer ......
Still hope Horne will go FB next season , he looked class at weekend even though i think he is past it as a runner, his angles were superb against Cas

Agree about the agar bit there would have been a riot on here

Now THAT rumour is spreading across the city like a wildfire today mate!!
gotta say i think he would be a class act in a good side as well, he is another with potential X Factor performances in him .... never had the platform at Cru or Badford

I like Watts, & Pitts and I think our young ones Green & Bowden look great prospects,though I fear we lack grunt up front, so hope we keep Orgre. I think must have been watching a different Horney on Saturday, suppose we all see different things though.

Agree we do need some new power up front although i do think that Ellis brings that as well because he is never shy of taking the ball up is he, watts will only get better and he is a big unit ....
agree about green and bowden though they are a future to be proud of

you know what to solve this question over and over one of our quota geeks should post on the site (is it a sticky ) a permanent quote table that we can update ongoing as needs be similar to the squad one
that would help all of us mate!!!
I have no idea myself by the way

I hope its not Sammut too. He's just not good enough.

However I do know that the old regime tried very hard to sign him when he was at Crusaders. Hopefully AP and PG have more sense.
