Good start to building a championship team, lose to Leeds and that’s where we are heading barring Wally Lewis coming out of retirement .

Milner is an ok utility back row an area where we already seem to have decent cover but if we are going to let crowther go and westerman is going to cas can sort of see the sense

I think Crowther, Walker, Westerman, Ashurst, Arona? are all out of contract at the end of this year.

Milner would be an OK signing but It would be good to see Walker get a shot in this position. It’s a good chance to overhaul the squad but there should be priorities where we need quality like:

2 Hookers
1 winger
A few props

For a start.

Without trying to be controversial, out of those, that are out of contract, and for reasons of balancing the squad, I would be tempted to let Arona go. Maybe able to use the quota spot better right now. Would offer Ashurst another deal, but to me, it looks like his best days are behind him.

If we lost Westerman, would be tempted to give either Jordy or Walker that spot.

We need a couple of props, an out and out hooker, and I agree, maybe a winger

DONT TOUCH THE WATCH

Re: Couple of rumours : Fri May 07, 2021 12:15 pm  
We are always going to be in a tough position and have to be savvy with who we sign because of our financial position. Think Chester said we are at £1.7 Million this year with a lot of other clubs working at £2.6/2.8 due to marquee and home grown exemptions. I’m not saying our recruitment has been great, but realistic we are always going to be in Groundhog Day until we get someone with money behind us. For every Tanginoa we pick up there’s going to be a Chris Green. I’m afraid at times you’re only as good as your lowest common denominator.

Re: Couple of rumours : Fri May 07, 2021 12:22 pm  
For me Arona,Crowther,Westerman give their all every game and play to their abilities, no matter what is asked of them .Walker Is still learning his trade and is one for the future . Feel for Ashurst as he had been a standout player for us over the seasons but I’ve a feeling his body has taken about as much pounding as it can . He used to get put through gaps ,but seems to be finding that very hard so far this season for whatever reasons ,and I have my Theory’s on why just like everyone else . There are only so many times you can run into a brick wall . Sad to see as he has give nothing but 100% to the cause over the years and been a cracking signing and up there with the best in recent times .

I’d move him back to 13 for next season where he’s been a rock and best for us then and sign a prop. Solution seems completely obvious on that front.

That's what I was thinking, but club bashing is now the main activity on this forum, regardless of the truth.

For the record, if he's the player the Coaches feel we need I'm happy enough as I don't claim to be the expert that some do. On the surface, I don't see the need but fan opinion on these issues has been proved wrong plenty of times in the past, not that anyone ever admits it.

In that case why be on here a forum is about fans opinions doesnt make what fans say right or wrong.and if everyone had same opinion it would be a boring world...i normally go if thats what coaches feel we need then i back it but with some of signings over last couple i tend to think a little differently although milner plays for cas every week who a at many a different levell to us at this moment in time.

The best issue raised for me is who signing would he be cos if its cc and he getsa new contract then thats the worrying thing for me not wanting to have a go at cc just think its time for a change no matter what even the best coaches leave at some point and i think thats needed now even if he kerps us up
