Why sign old men and players we've already let go before our own kids.
If we genuinely don't have a current option for wing then let Johnston (spell?) have it.
If we sign Owen, he should still have an equal chance.

I do and I am
Potts is hardly old, he's a product of our youth system so ticks that box and IMO he offers more than Richard Owen, he's certainly faster. While Potts at SL level is somewhat an unknown quantity his performances in the Championships better sides offers me some hope that he'll be better than Owen who has been proved inadequate at SL level.
Tom Johnston is a very exciting prospect and I'd love him to play so well that he claims one wing berth for himself but the reality is likely to be that he plays a handfull of games for experience and the 2016 season is when we see him as a regular.
