As a minimum for next season we still need a centre and a back rower. Hopefully get rid of Sao to free up a quota spot but that would mean another prop is needed.

Chamberlain should be a back up from what I’ve seen. Litten is nowhere near a SL starter. Fash should be back up at best, he’s been terrible all season. Although Lane has improved, a back row of him and Holmes with Cartwright isn’t very inspiring. We can’t be relying on Staveley to come straight back in after his ACL injury and Holmes himself has only played 4 games this season.

Chamberlain is probably the worst signing for next season in my opinion. Far too lightweight for back row, uninspiring centre and seems to pick up knocks every single game

Is Chamberlain the new
Steve Craven

As in he ‘cravened’ the ball (knock on)

What the heck are we to do with Jordan when he arrives at FC on Nov 1st ?

He will be auditioning as the clubs Santa !

Balmforth could be the same as he’s clearly 10kg over weight as well based on the fact he’s 12 kg heavier than Harry Grant and only 1cm taller - come on Denive mate - get ultra fit ! It will help you no end in your goals in RL.

I have to trust JC with JA and DB and also get some weight on Moy Litten and Jack Charles.

Martin and Barron should aim to bulk up ala Warbrick and Coates at Storm.

I have to believe in JC as that’s all we have left

I think with Denive he's got a lot of muscle mass and can see he got a good stature to build solid muscle.

JA just looks fat. Got some big old muffin tops and a big gut.

No idea why McNamara keeps picking him, should have set an example and dropped him until he lost a set amount of weight.

Poor coach, can see him getting the boot if they miss out on the play offs.

You heard that too, just for pre season though right?

Yes, he is now a S&C coach, think he is at Manly, rumour is, he is coming over for some of our pre season to lead part of it.

Yes mate, coming over for a while in pre season apparently. There is a new S@C coach already in/coming in too i believe.
