If Frank goes we are light in the pack. I felt with how the season ended that we struggled up the middle in the final third of the season, and that will only be compounded with FP. Thought we had first dibs on Moa but he's cone to Catalan. We seem to have an abundance of cover in the backs, yet a couple of injuries in the pack and we may well struggle
I'd disagree, it allows Hadley to step up into the regular first 17 which he is deserving of. The four props will be Watts, Taylor, Green and Bowden. Back row will be covered by Manu, Minichiello, Ellis, Hadley, Washbrook, Thompson.
We also have the likes of Fash, Downs, Osborne, Matongo and in particular Turgut who are all now ready for their chance. If anything, we've got more than enough options in the pack, and the club have used this opportunity to strengthen an area where we DO need a focus, which is at 6.
Pritchard leaving and Kelly arriving will give us a bit more money to play with too. Could that mean Micheals doesn't stay and another winger joins? Sio has been mentioned...
