Done with recruitment : Tue Nov 29, 2016 9:19 am
Done with recruitment.According to AP they will be no further signings and the squad is now completed. We are well covered in the backs but I have serious concerns that we are lacking depth in the forwards. Last season we had relatively few injuries which was a major factor in our success but maybe contributed to fading at the end. Next season we may not be as fortunate. If we suffer 2 or 3 long term injuries or loss of form we will have to rely on youngsters who while have potential are unproven at this level. Obviously we have to blood young players but can we expect them to replace Ellis or Mini if they are out for a long time? You could argue that Wigan did it successfully last season but the quality of their younger players may be higher than ours.
Any thoughts?
