Quote ="Dnats Ynnepeerht"Just thinking outloud. IMO we need just three more signings to complete the squad for next season. A top centre now needs to be the priority, as well as a player to cover in the backs and a backup halfback. This is how I think our first 17 will line up:
1. Tansey
2. Calderwood
3.
4. Yeaman
5. Raynor
6. R. Horne
7. Long
8. Dowes
9. Berrigan
10. O'Meley
11. Fitzgibbon
12. Tickle
13. Washbrook
14. Houghton
15. Manu
16. Cusack
17. Lauaki
Forwards: I think we'll keep Kingy and Radford (also cover for 2nd row) and one of Moa/Maloney/Cordoba as prop cover. 2nd row is covered by Burnett. Loose cover Whiting, keep Lee as cover for all the above.
Backs: Briscoe and Hall are the only cover for our back positions signed for next year (Whiting also capable of doing a job). As I said, a player to cover 1-5 and a player to cover 6&7 needed.
Atkins, Rooney, Turner or equivalent players and i think we're sorted.
Tony, Thorman, G. Horne, Thacks, Hodgson, Moa/Maloney/Cordoba to leave.
That would give us a squad of 27 (we went into this season with 26), with perhaps a couple of academy players brought in.'"
tansey is a centre hes only played about 5 games at full back
we nned a fullback or move horne and get a 6
