Matty Gee ?

You could well be right with gee they have said on twitter that it is time to beef up the pack. There is also a chance it could be Titus the destroyer
Gawze.

Ian Van Bellen

Bit of a surprise..Brad Knowles.

Good lad IIRC?

No shortage of effort from Brad and he's as hard as nails and no respecter of reputations. Always been a popular player with fans as he runs hard and tackles hard.

Championship is his level and he's not going to be a difference maker but he's a very solid player.

Another good signing and does add a bit of size to our pack. Still crying out for a couple of big props but it seems so is everyone else. Another good addition and a big improvement on the players that have left.

Welcome abroad Brad keep up the aggression we need some of that in the pack for next season.

Didnt see this signing coming and from what I have seen solid but not standout.
Hopefully will take his game to next level .

Yes I agree,would have been happier if this signing replaced someone we had who'd left,as we really need more explosive new additions and Ideally someone Fev would want rather what they've let go.

Regarding the prop situation, we’d all love a 6 ft 6 ,20 stone prop that runs like a train and does it all game and smashes people in d, however there’s not many if any about certainly who are gonna play at championship level.
So what’s the next best thing , the next best thing is to get rotating forwards of similar ability competing for 2/4 spots , so hypothetically you have tangata , gee , Murray , Kavanagh, Morris , Douglas , knowles , fairbank , garside , roberts , barber , gwayze , larroyer calcott all competing for the same positions , that’s 14 blokes all training and playing for a place in the squad and this time when we starting getting knocks and form dips you ve got a ready made replacement.

We’re only 3 signings in but if the squad is what it is rumoured to be then I think Grix has a perfectly balanced side , a mix of flair , solid defence , Ruck speed , youth and experience, looking forward to next season.

Bloody good post that well said.
