If we are going to sign a full back its about time the club got on with it, the lads are back in pre season training IF we do intend to sign some one we should be getting him on board ASP it will take a time for any new full back to slot in and learn our moves, how nice it was to see most of our over seas players at the lights switch on, shame our prospective full back could not make it, Get well soon Benny

As it stands Zak is still on the cap. We can’t sign anyone till the issue is sorted.

If Zak is still being paid this wants sorting one way or the other, why the hell it takes so long to be brought in front of the people that decides the sentence is beyond me, they must be mowed out with work of the three cases that have been brought to their attention over the last 6 months only RANGI as had his sentence confirmed

If Benny is to play full back then why the need for James Clare in a position we're covered with Eden, Minikin, Lo, Hitchcox, Gill?

I can only presume he EE’s JC as cover for either wing and full back, but if you look at it , KG is still returning from injury, if we get a injury to our wingers we have Lo or Clare , if we get injury to a centre , minikin moves in one , Clare or Lo to wing , injury to half back, Roberts to half back Eden or Clare to full back, injury to full back , again Clare or Eden , but the biggest positive is the competition for places and the ability to slot in without too much distruption, and I’ve not included JY in the mix yet , what a good place to be , a squad of around 30 , defending the league leaders shield . Years ago we would have only dreamt of being in this position.

Absolutely

a year of full time training will do Callum Turner & Jack Render the world of good also, both capable wing/ full backs. Plus Robbie Storey as a quality centre.

The fact is we are a worse side on paper than last season without a doubt, a half back returning who Powell didn't think good enough for the role in 2014 and Roberts is not a patch on Hardaker at the back.
We have also not solved our problem front row area with poor recruitment there. Next season could be a tough one,I just hope we don't follow the same path of the 2 previous LLS winners.
