Thats a massive signing. That is the kind of signing that can bring back season ticket holders for another year. Noone can argue that this is an upgrade on what we have. We cant obviously have that kind of class in every position but with players like Harry and Harrison building nicely into a prem career we should start to look good all over the park. We need a 10 next. I still think Myler has a couple of years in him at this level but we have no quality backup once JJ leaves. |

I am completely underwhelmed by this... Although a great signing it means one of George or Luther is probably moving on, unless Luther is moving back to 12. But we all now that doesn't work. It's looking very busy in the centres: Harry, Hutch, Luther, Horne, Pisi, Tuitavake. And Estelles is listed as a centre, although clearly a wing. So as great a signing this is, I would have preferred to have seen a world class loosehead arrive. But hopefully, if we're getting this 9 and 10 rumoured, all that's left now of urgency is a loosehead. |

I cant see us keeping Nafi. and estelles seems to be preferred on the wing leaves us with: Arry, Hutch Horne, Luther Pisi, Stephenson I agree definitely agree that one of them will have to leave. 10 is definitely a priority, hope something can be worked out for Biggar that would be an outstanding signing. maybe using us as leverage for more money. |

If i had to pick one of our 13s to keep it would be George Pisi. He has been better for longer and done more for us than any of the others and he still offers a lot when fit. I would keep one of the young guys to take over in a year or 2 and mostly play Horne when he is available. |

Really positive news and demonstrates a determination in the direction of travel. What we need now is a class Loosehead in a pack that gets the ball to a 10 who can release the potential that is accumulating in the backs. Bet George N is happier thinking that he might get the ball in space now. You're on a roll Jim keep it moving. |
