Thought he might be fullback tbh. Plus I love the strength in depth in centres with Tali Logan and Smeaton. Hope we end up that strong in other positions too.

Hope he stays fit , deserves a bit of luck.

Hope for more good news if Jordie signs.


I believe Jordie is on his way back from down-under so he will probably be announced next week.

Re: Players Ins and Outs : Wed Nov 13, 2019 6:06 pm  
I’ve been doing some analysis of the squad:

Current signed up squad = 17 players. I’ve listed the players in the positions they can possibly play in.

Props:
Douglas, Peltier, Spiers, Boyle, and Foster

Hooker:
Carter, Cross, Boas

Second Row:
Foster, England, Wilkinson

Loose Forward:
Wilkinson

Halves:
Beharrell, Chase, Boas, Cross

Wingers:
Doherty, Rickett

Centres:
Smeaton, Tali, Logan, Doherty

Full Back:
Logan, Boas, Doherty

With the likelihood of 4 or 5 players being injured at any one time, a 24-man squad seems a minimum requirement. On that basis we are seven players short of this at the moment.

If we sign Jordie, Chrimes, and Halliday, we will have the wing and centre positions covered along with the loose-forward spot. Jordie could also provide emergency cover in the halves if need be.

We are still short in the forwards. We would need two more props and two more second-rowers. Keiran Dixon could be one of the second-rowers. That would leave three places vacant.

Regarding the full-back position, I’m pretty certain this must be Jack Logan. The reason for my thinking is that Smeaton and Tali are both out-and-out centres and will be amongst the first names on the team sheet. Where would Jack Logan play other than at full-back? He could play on the wing but I doubt it.

Full back cover would be provided by Boas and Doherty.

Who fills the two missing prop places and the second row spot (to replace Frankie) will be key.

Hopefully, there will be three new significant signings to plug these gaps.

Other gaps will also remain if Jordie, Halliday, Chrimes, and Dixon, don’t re-sign.

Anyone seen Jordie since he has been back? Just wondering how is ACL surgery went and how many games will he miss?

Just to throw a curve ball into the mix , with the signing of two class centres, is there a possibility Jason Tali could move up to the second row.

After losing Frankie we seem a little light weight in the pack and Tali would be devastating as a wide runner cutting back on angles.

With his direct running he would be a handful carrying the ball and give us different options in our set up.

Yes, sorry, it should be Ryan Dixon. :oops:

I must have subconciously been thinking of London Broncos winger Keiran Dixon!

It has gone quiet from the club at the minute here's hoping we hear about more signings soon. Newcastle released a lot of players recently do we think any would do a job for us?

We certainly need some more beef up front and a larger squad of player.

Ex-Dons prop Alex Rowe was released by Newcastle but I don't realistically see him being an option.
