Yeah they'll both do a job as depth in the squad. As far as winger go we have 3 better options for certain and I'd even entertain O'Brien full back and Evalds moving to wing if we were ever that desperate so I wouldn't say we need Clare but it doesn't hurt to have him available. Probably wouldn't cost much. As for Smith, again I can name a fair few options that I'd take instead and for me he wouldn't be near our 17 but he can do a job if we are desperate and given how bad we've had injuries over recent years I'd rather see unnecessary players in than a shortage. Also with the rlwc coming up and league not starting til at least March who knows how crammed the games might be.
For me, Dan Smith gets in our 17 easily. I’d be starting with Watts and Smith and bringing Matagi and Millington off the bench.
We’ve certainly got some competition for places in the forwards next year, but I think they are our four best options in the front row.
Griffin, Holmes, JSL, Blair, Foster, Massey, Milner and O’Neill fighting for the three starting places in the back row, plus a spot or two on the bench (depending on whether we’ll use O’Brien as a sub).
Going to be some pretty established players sitting out when most of them are fit.
