Completely agree, the recruitment at FC has been a mess since Motu Tony left, latest concern is we seem to be signing utility players with no clear plan of who is playing what role.

I also think we have signed players who are just average in all areas like Mcintosh, whereas Radford favoured power over everything else. Its not clear if we are trying to be a fast, strong, off the cuff or structred team we have just averaged out and not sucesseding in any areas.

That is a great summation of the issues in the team

I think fitness is an issue for the whole team. Second half capitulations are not just down to attitude.

I agree, but I'd expect someone of Connor's talent and salary level to take the initiative, gyms are open outside of club sessions. He has the potential to be the best player in SL but frustratingly is stagnating in his prime.

Its frightening that there is not one stand out candidate

Prior to this season I'd have said Lane, but honestly, he's been awful this year. Probably our main culprit of 6 agains in the whole team

Kane Evans for me

So basically we are looking for an international class second rower who has a great World Cup but is out of contract, unattached and willing to move to the UK and also a natural leader.

And if we don’t find him then Adam, James Clark & Hodgson all need binning.

Many will laugh but given the mess we are in and clear lack of leadership, If possible I’d take LMS for a season. I get his age but just look at the passion he oozes when on the pitch and how he leads from the front.
He’d certainly be an upgrade on Taylor.
