I sincerely hope TM only intends to use Kyle Kesik in the halves as cover - IMO we need a specialist half to partner Fawcett

Re: Powley Puts Pen to Paper : Wed Nov 09, 2011 10:05 pm  

We need a new 6/7 partnership for me ! Fawcett as back up .

Re: Powley Puts Pen to Paper : Wed Nov 09, 2011 10:10 pm  

Thought that might be asking a bit much seen as we currently only have 2 out and out props and not enough backs for a full backline

We only have 5 backs signed for next season ... Craig Fawcett is one of them (and has been for some time) .... I think you can probably conclude he'll be one of them.

Why we have only 16 players signed on . We need a 6, 7 , 3 props , a couple of centres & a winger .

Re: Powley Puts Pen to Paper : Wed Nov 09, 2011 10:21 pm  

We will see Gaz , essential for me a new 6& 7 , no disrespect to Craig Fawcett.

Couldn't agree more.
I am unmoved by any 'new' signings thus far. We need to wave bye bye to the crumby division we are in and not be lulled into thinking we have a reasonable chance just because there are 4 places up for grabs.
It will be damned hard.

Unless we recruit some 'names' pretty soon, I will be very concerned about our prospects.
Getting out of this division can't be done on a meagre budget.
And if getting out of this division is not the over-riding imperative, then what is the point of it all?

Don't get me wrong I'd like to see good competion for 6 & 7 and to achieve that we need to sign some half backs. I was merely making the point that having re-signed him early on he must currently be in TM's thoughts.

Re: Powley Puts Pen to Paper : Thu Nov 10, 2011 10:11 am  

id like to see 2 big hard running forwards an old head maybe in pack would help us,a young quick spritly 6 with a old head at 7 to calm things down now and again and people going round park where they should be plus strong running and tackling centre and while im making out my list to santa ill ask for a rapid winger aswell!

Yeah also hope that kesik is only going to be used as half back cover, He gave us a brilliant season last year and to me should still be first choice hooker, I can understand using jack elsewhere in the forwards. Hoping to see a new 6 signing very soon.
