We'll see a couple of quality additions, but the main change will be a really hard off season. When you add Holroyd and Gannon (hopefully) into the mix we don't look too bad off for numbers, particularly in the back row - Bentley, McDonnell, Gannon, Littlewood and Ruan seems like plenty. If we sign a back rower as well as a prop I'd be surprised if all of them are here next year, as they won't all get many games.
We'll no doubt see some players thrive on a tougher pre season, and others not so much, but the team as a whole will be a lot more energetic and able to play to the style Arthur wants for longer.
A shame Hudson hasn't worked out. I assume he's asked for a release because he's nowhere near getting a game despite us having only two fit props. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
