Our first choice spine - Walker, Currie, Williams, Sneyd, Dufty, is very good.  Lindop is an exciting prospect at centre and King is worth his cap money, due to his 'club trained' dispensation, whilst Ashton is a top class winger.  Thewlis is ok.


Where we are weak is in the pack.  Yates, Crowther, Philbin - all try hard but just aren't big enough (maybe Wood also falls into this category).  You could afford to have any one of them in the pack, but not all together.  Similar with Holroyd at second row, works hard but lacks size.   Then we have a big prop in Musgrove who shows the odd glimpse of what he should be offering, but then reverts to type, and Russell who simply isn't good enough.

Whenever I've seen Knight he has looked like a penalty machine. A big body yes but not sure he is a great signing.

Knight has only conceded 3 penalties in 5 games so not sure he's a penalty machine.


He's been good for us, especially considering he had no pre season.  Getting better as he gets up to match fitness and can do big minutes.  Defence is excellent 

Just remembered Chris Satae is still off contract next year (i think), Would be happy with him as a Musgrove replacement. I'd still keep Vaughan as i think he still offers plenty to the team.

I thought the quota change was already in place for next year, i didn't realise it was still yet to be decided.
It would free up Yates spot for us at least. I don't think it will be Green lit though to be honest as it creates an unfair competition in that respect. As say (for example) 10 team only have 7 overseas players but 2 have 9-10 potential overseas it can create a bigger gulf.
The fact we're trying to create a more even playing field for a more competitive competition, this would go against this and create an even bigger imbalance.
