I wouldn’t consider Bennison. I feel sorry for him in a lot of ways - at academy level he was looking like a top full back, but being just a year behind Welsby he’s never had the chance, and has just been a sort of small, awkward fill-in winger. If we’re looking to bring in a winger, I’d like to see a big unit who can carry hard and finish too - but that would likely require a quota spot.

Fages is a maybe for me. I like him, but I think he’ll settle at Catalans now. 


Under quota, I’d like to see us bring in a winger and a half. There are far more talented British props about than the other positions. I like Olly Wilson - he’s still got plenty of growth in him but is technically decent and seems to have a good work ethic. Not sure there’s anything in it but he’s one to keep an eye on.

I agree - and when you put it like that it shows how light we are in the pack. Two props and a second rower for next season would do nicely. 

Hood on his way to Cas?!

That's how it goes, I'd have been more than happy if he'd stayed but only for another year. But you've no control when players leave and where they go.Hood will go well for them if he signs, but he's another year older and we know full well what he's capable of.

Losing TJ is a huge blow to getting in the 6 imo so I hope it’s not long. 


Losing the left edge of Pratt and TJ imo contributed to us losing at Hull. We lose a lot of metres, strong settled defence and experience on that wing. 


Is Russell injured again? I thought he’d be back in to be honest. 


At least Ollie back at centre will help somewhat.
