We have 22 full time players and 16 part time so more full time than part now

What happened to Evan Hodgson? He looked a useful prospect for second row last season, and hasn't been seen at all this season.

Evan was involved at the recent Academy presentation night. I think he's been the u19 captain this year, so he's still very much on the scene. You're right though, he hasn't been with the First team at all. Hopefully he's still in the plans for next year. Very promising player.

Prop, 2 backrowers, Centre, Utility 3/4

Pretty much this. Despite the numbers i still think we are 2 or 3 shot in the pack.
And i mean established players at this level.
We have quite a few young kids who last season was their first full season and it was only league 1 agaist the pub teams.

We need a couple who have been there and done it in my opinion, which in turn will bring on the likes of Wood Kirky Bustin Storton even more.

From what I understand he has had a long term injury

He's been leading the U19s to a sixth-place finish in the Academy Championship.

He's now too old to play at that level, so will be playing in the reserves/first team next season.

I'd like one more aggressive prop (someone in the Sironen mould) and an aggressive back-rower

Keep seeing people talking about Sironen. Shows how much impact he actually made during his short spell. Would be amazing if he would ever be tempted to come back, and also to see him in a side that could get on the front foot rather than the situation we were in

Does anyone know if we still have Bustin for definite this year... I thought he was only on a season long loan?

Re: Comings and Goings : Mon Oct 22, 2018 4:57 pm  

No we 100 percent signed him
