Do we think we will do any business for next season i think we are a couple of forwards short in the back row especially. We do have some good young lads coming through aswell
I just think we need a second rower. Maybe a Kaide Ellis style fringe NRL player, who is young enough to be happy backing up Faz and Nsemba but good enough to apply some pressure to them.
Outside of that, I think we're ok. Get Eseh back in to the squad and guys like him and Makin can back up the frontline props. If a second rower was brought in and played on the bench, you would only need 4 frontline props in the squad, so somebody like Dupree would likely act as back up as well.
If we didn't bring in a second rower, you'd use Walters as back up and then I think we need to move for a prop instead. Basically we need to sign one forward IMO (On top of Vaughan and Sambou).
It is important for the club to get the balance right, we can’t afford to block the path of our juniors but we also need experience and cover until they make the grade. We have been lucky this season in that Faz and Junior have not been injured. Is the recruitment of one second row forward enough given that Faz will be retiring (allegedly) at the end of this season.
Talking about Faz, what a magnificent milestone, his 400th game for the club this weekend. He has been an example to all those he has played with and hopefully for those that follow
