GH has said all major signings have been made however they are still in the market.
I don’t think we’ll be seeing a too line prop in
No I think it would be an Eseh or another young lad from someone else's academy at this stage. People can debate over whether Goudemand is a proper prop or not, but with 2x injuries to our front line 4, we are into poor/risky options very quickly. Our own academy props are maybe 2-3 years off first grade if they make the cut.
If we don't sign anyone else we can probably cope; but depth at prop is a weakness and we've overloaded the second row which IMO is a mistake. We'll see how it pans out, every season brings the unexpected...
Other than that it's a case of how fast our academy outside backs develop and whether we retain Fus and Newman but that's a problem for next time.
