Strongest 15 or so players stay fit we will be good lose 4 or 5 of then i think we have issues.

The squad looks low on forwards well mainly props , where not only low but for me we lack in quality there other than 8 and 10 . I feel squad is a little unbalanced like why so many full backs max alex and gigot would all say thats there prefered and best postion and rocky probably played some of his best rugby there.

Feel it be better not having a walker and gigot on the books and at least one more prop on the books....
That said we are looking so hopefully somthing comes good

Whether it’s his best position or not, unless we add at least two very good props then we’ll have no choice but to play Kelepi in the front row.

There's four full backs in the squad, two lads who've never played first team and another who's out on loan for the season.

Do the 4 full backs not count then? Seen as one of them can cover the entire back line and half back and another one can cover full back, centre and half back.

And this time last year 3 of them hasn’t played first team. What’s point of having an academy if we just dismiss the kids in the squad as not counting!!!

Do you look at that squad and think there’s the quality and depth to compete?

I didn’t question your ‘quality’ comment. I questioned the ‘quantity’ and 32 players with more to come is more quantity then the vast majority of squads will have.

We only need two props to get injured and we're in trouble. It won't matter how many full backs we have.

I'd happily play 26 of that team in the starting 13.
We could probably add a prop or two but I'm not worried about any other position.

That applies to every team, please name this magical team with 7 or 8 specialist and experienced props?

You can’t, you just peddle this stuff every year.
