Don't expect us to sign Cooper or Hull, but the point is, I think Sao is replaceable domestically.

If one of those won't be signing who else is available? With only herman as a top quality prop we need someone e decent. Ashworth is OK but always injured, Aydin works hard but lacks impact and Fash is gash

Also….Hill and Cooper both have businesses so will be a factor

Aren't you the one who is always saying, we as fans don't know who is available, a bit of double standards here.

I'd look at Bullock, Bateman, Greenwood, Livett English, Eseh, Sutton, Byrne.

Some would require an early release, possible fee, but there are props out there and if it's a backrower push Staveley to prop, which is where he will end up.

Let's be honest apart from Ese Ese, all of our current squad are replaceable.

Indeed but I'm not the one suggesting we get rid of a contracted player without an obvious replacement

But you have critised the signings made, so who else should we have signed, it's the same thing, we need players, we either keep the players we have or try something new.

If you are asking me who should replace Sao, who should we have signed instead of Abdul or Hardraker?

Tony Smith, pretty sure Fash will be due a testimonial too

I don't think Fash and Lane are our big issues, they play most games (which shouldn't happen) and won't be on mega money, it's our use if quota and giving out big contracts to the likes of Sutcliffe and Trueman.

We need to get in a position where those two are guaranteed a start every week.
