Brilliant news.

We don't need changes for changes sake, just tweaks. The big departure has long gone, that was the 'statement maker', now it's just the odd cut & trim.

So we're looking at

Out : Rauhihi, Johnson, Pickersgill. (...Penny - years loan - wouldn't surprise me.)

In : Myler, Backrower, Prop.

Awesome.

If we do get Myler that presumably pushes Monas to sharing hooking duties with Higam with Clarke going to 13, leaving Westwood, Anderson x2, Harrison, Mitchell & Blythe to cover two back row spots and Grix/McCarthy to cover 13.

I would forget a new back rower, develop our young ones and sign a really big money prop instead. Or sign a centre to put pressure on King and Bridge.

Have we not just beaten hull at home and catalans in Barcelona without him...

Yes we did, and they were the first wins in 2 years achieved without him. Does that say something about his value?
