Quote ="Blobbynator"KC and Gidley will be leaving (Fozz probably too), which leaves a couple of big holes. Luckily we're well covered at hooker with Moore and Roby, but KC's experience, influence and know how will be very, very difficult to replace. We could do with signing an experienced campaigner just to help bring a few of the younger kids along. I'd be looking at a prop. Hull did well getting Fitzgibbon and O'Meley. They may not be internationals anymore, but they have tonnes of experience and quality. I'd be looking at someone like that from here or overseas.
Gidley is a class act. He scores, he creates and defensively he is superb. He is still one of the best Centres in the league, the best IMO and that quality and experience will be very difficult to replace also. I'm not sure there's anyone coming through the ranks to replace Gidley, so again we'll probably have to look at overseas.
I still think we'll be up there, because we have alot of good personnel, but I don't think we can soley rely on youth. We need to add a couple of additions to an already small squad.'"
Spot on! I've said it all last year, we can't rely soley on youth. For every 10 kids that come thru, i bet 3 at the most make the grade unless we get very lucky.
IMO lomax, wheeler and eastmond will make top class players.
