Would take Cust and Parcell at Wakey.
Will be interesting to see how we use the quota spots.
We've used them or all, as far as I can see it anyway. There was a conversation about it a few pages back.
We've got Atoni, Rodwell, Vagana, Uele, Lino, Walmsley, and Bain all signed up on at least 2-year deals. Uele was just signed initially on a one-year deal, but he has just signed for another year. Bothroyd seems to be a year, even though at 20 he looks to have the potential to be a very good SL player but sadly he's a quota, if he wasn't we'd be keeping him IMO. All this is obviously on the proviso that there isn't anything in their contracts about Championship only but I can't see it.
I'm generally happy with the overseas we've got, the Props especially, they're young, big, athletic and only going to get better and grow as players this season, Atoni being the oldest at 28. Without naming names though I feel there are probably a couple where I think we could get British players to do the job, without using up a quota space.
