I think Barry more than any of us know what this team needs.
He will also know that he can only spend within the clubs means.
It really is going to be a balancing game for him.

The last time we went up, Gary Moorby ended up with a weaker team than the one that won him promotion. He wasn't given the means he needed to keep us up. For whatever reason.

This can be allowed to happen. If the team suffers a load of injures and we go down again then fair enough.

But we cant be on the end of defeat after defeat and come back down again.

Position? Any good?

Been on their site, he's 21 , loose forward with 11 tries last season.

Sounds like he's going to provide Carl Hughes some stiff competition.

We're going to have a pretty damn good pack at this rate.

I have to agree with Stealth Comic, things in the pack are looking good.
But will a strongish pack be enough?

A good strong pack and quality half backs will at least make us competitive.

We've let 2 wingers go so i'm sure Barry will be looking to bring someone in there.

My only concern is lack of experience.

Mine too MIck,however Barry has gone about his business in the past for us by seeking out quality players relitavely unheard of or fringe players i.e Jones,Presley etc and so far it has served us well,I trust in Barrys ability on this and whos to say Richard Jones,Crowther etc cant set this division alight?the proof has yet to be confirmed of course but keep the faith,Bazza knows what hes doing on our budget.
