[quote="jonh":2qr1ruu3]Wouldn’t take Bullock or Sangare both very average players who don’t offer anything we don’t already have. Watkins should be our top target in my opinion. Would have loved Sneyd but we have 3 halves now. Lafai or MacDonald improve our centre options massively.[/quote:2qr1ruu3] You don`t think Bullock would be better cover at this point than Shaw or Cozza at prop? If you look outside outside what are deemed to be our 4 props in Rodwell, Atoni, Mckmeekan and Uele, you start to get into using our "Middles" who are OK as a cover option, but I would assume there will be plenty of times throughout the season when we don`t have 1 or 2 of those players. Sneyd, great player, but I think goes against what we are trying to build, he might make us better for a year, but at 34, you are then starting the spine over again next year. Would take Watkins in a heartbeat, would give us some real punch in the second row.

[quote="Wollo-Wollo-Wollo-Wayoo":1iffu36w]So that's Boothroyd and Bain both deemed not good enough for SL. Right decision though imho.[/quote:1iffu36w] I think at 20 in his first open age season Boothroyd went well. He’s a player I believe after a season or two in the championship could definitely step up into SL. I think had it not been for the injury he may have had a chance to be this season.

Right decision though imho.[/quote:2k2a3ik0] As I understood it there was no quota spot for Boothroyd? How do you know Bain is leaving because he's 'deemed not good enough?' I don't know how either could judged good enough for SL or not, on the playing time they had!

Ellis said it just wasn't the right time for Boothroyd with what we had in the team but they liked him and would like to bring him back one day.

He didn’t put a foot wrong and looked in very good shape for a young second row. I think he will go very well at Fev and if he has a full year there I can see him getting picked up for a SL club, if not us.
