I think we're going to need more than two wingers signed up though. We used 4 last year not counting the odd game there from Purtell. If we need to free up cash to sign some props then fair enough but we need at least 3 wingers. When we've scrimped on fringe players before it's not worked. Anyone remember how we went with Sheriffe and Reardon on the wings under McNamara??
Ainscough has his faults but he's as good as anyone available out there and I think it would be good to reward his loyalty and commitment with a deal at least as good as he got last year.
Maybe Naughton is seen as an option on the wing on a back-up basis? A lot of clubs blood full backs, and even centres on the wing. I know he's young, but he seems very well thought of by posters on here that know the academy scene better that I do.
FWIW I still think that we'd be one winger short if this was the case, unless Purtell will be playing there provided he's fit, with a centre pairing of Lulia and Blythe.
