I'd be happy with Hewitt

No need for a back row, half and prop required for me.

I'll be honest here but Hewitt never stood out for me. Most of the games he played in, more often than not, I usually failed to notice him, other than the one where he got sin-binned of course.
I know several on here rated him, but I didn't.
Think we can do better personally.

What about Harvey Livett

To be fair a lot of our new signings have been total surprises, and nothing like what we thought it would be. Who knows which player is coming in!

We have for prop:

Bowden
Atoni
Uele
Bain
Cozza
Shaw

That’s pretty good and more depth than second row so can’t agree fully. A single injury and we are scratching in back row.

Ashurst
Pitts (think he will be 13)
Griffin
Boothroyd


If we are really looking for squad balance though we need another prop and another second rower, another utility back who can play full back.

We have 3 halves. If you want another that suggests that you don’t think Lawford is ready? And/or you want a better quality than one of our starting halves in Gale/Lino? If there’s someone available then great.

Ultimately other than the utility back the others need to be able to add something to the 17 and be of quality to enhance it.

I wonder if Kayal Iro is still available.

Centre for Jets where Uele came from and he’s got a big strike rate for try’s.

Perhaps he could be the outside back/utility back we are searching for. Wasn’t Cas allegedly trying to get him over a few months ago too.

I thought the Cas thing was signed seal and delivered. But Google says not... would be great if we snuck right under the there noses and swopped in.

It sure would! He’s young but looks like a promising centre who can play wing. With the Uele signing coming out of the blue I’m looking forward to who’s next.

Pitts is poor at 13. He's not got the impact of a modern day middle, or the hands to play as an extra pivot.
