That's good news then!!

What position do you think we need to be looking to sign?? Utility back?? Could really do with another winger if Scotty is only staying this year?!!?

As it stands mate i'm more than happy with the current squad.
If a quality player becomes available ala big ali in 2004 then we have the money to invest.

I'm chuffed to bits with our current squad. It's really settled and moral must be sky high with players renewing contracts every way you turn.

The core players (Burrow, Sinny, McGuire, Peacock) are all here til the end of 2011 at least! That's another 3 season! By then we should have another set of leaders in the squad.

The future's bright... the future's Blue & Amber.

You sure about that? I'm not sure the academy is producing the same quiality and number of players it was six years ago.

That's a fair point FJ especially in terms of numbers.
As for quality maybe it will take a while longer for the current crop to reach their potential.

I think we have a replacement for Diskin going forward in McShane, Watkins and Gibson for the centres (not sure ho good Broughton is), Smith for full back but not sure about 6, 7 and 13 which are key positions.

It's hard to quantify quality of the acadmey. I mean we don't need 6/7 players coming through every year (of the highest quality) as we wouldn't be able to place them. The quality seems to drip through every now and then, when its right for the players and the team. And I'm quite excited about the talent that Watkins has, and the way he's been looked after by the coaches (i.e. not beeg thrown in too early) screams that they realise the potential they have on their hands. Having said that another McGuire or Burrow would be handy.
