TBF it will probably be 4 as that was stated initially, Penny will more than likely be one but i have no idea who the other 2 will be.

Meaning?

I expect Penny, a half back (as pure back up) and then could be either a forward or back tbh!

Okay, so with the majority of the squad nailed down it is rumoured that another 3 will complete the squad and will be announced in the coming weeks. A centre is a must IMO and Chris Dean has been mentioned on numerous occasions and would fit in well in a fast back line. Another position to be filled IMO is another second rower/Loose forward. This would enable some considerable impact from the bench for someone like Varkulis. Lets hope although a little doubtful that Jon Clarke can find his way in at Loose Forward. The last position to be covered is a a utility back, someone who can cover the centre and wing and even full back if needed. Perhaps Lomax from Saints.



Based on the above if it were to come off or we could get players similar would give us a great balance of a squad and massively improved on last year.



Full Back

James Ford
Scott Yates

Wing

Paddy Flynn
Dean Gaskell
Matt Gardner

Centre

Toa Kohe Love
Chris Dean
Jonnie Lomax
Dean Thompson

Stand off

Anthony Thackeray

Scrum Half

James Webster
Danny Hulme

Prop

Steve Pickersgill
Gareth Haggerty
Jim Gannon
Ben Kavanagh
Dave Houghton
Anthony Mullally

Hooker

Mark Smith
Thomas Coyle

Second Row

Dave Allen
Lee Doran
Richard Varkulis
Shayne Grady
Matt Strong

Loose Forward

Jon Clarke
Chris Gerrard



There are other rumours of Kevin Penny coming back so perhaps that would enable Gardner to play centre?


Thoughts?

has it been confirmed that jon clarke signed?

Unless he can come in on the old style loan, then we can't get him because on a dual contract the player has to be u23. Can't see it happening to be honest.
