Back to the thread, I think most of us are along the same lines.
For me, FB, Halves and Back row (SR/LF) are sorted for the next few seasons (to be honest, I think we could even shed a few from these positions).
Centre, wing and prop are probably my target areas. Happy with Eden on the wing but would prefer a stronger right-edge winger with Minikin/Clare, Gill and Carr as back-up. RE: Minikin/Clare, it's whichever DP feels offers better quality but also better value for money. Gill deserves a chance - think he's scored in every game he's played and this season is the time to blood him a bit.
Centre-wise, happy with Blair and Shenton but would like another centre brought in as decent cover with Storey as an understudy. Not convinced by Egodo and wouldn't have Minikin.
Prop - Cook has been fab this season and Watts awesome, Clark great impact sub. But I do wonder how long Millo has left in his legs and Moors' form has been patchy this season too. I also prefer him out wide
To be honest, I'd be looking at cutting one of Minikin/Clare, one of Ellis/Rankin, Aston, Maher, Egodo, Clarkson and using the cap space on those 3 positions plus anything spare. Gives us a squad of
FB: Matuatia/Turner
W: Eden/NEW SIGNING/Minikin or Clare/Gill/Carr
C: Blair/Shenton/NEW SIGNING/Storey
HB/SH: Trueman/Gale/Ellis or Rankin/Sweeting
P: Watts/Cook/Millo/NEW SIGNING/Clark/Smith/Peachey
H: McShane/O'Neill
SR: McMeeken/Foster/Jesse/Holmes/Moors
LF: Massey/Milner
31 man squad, down from 33 this year. 6 out, 3 in plus Sweeting promoted in the halves.
In the spirit of the final Blackadder episode - Goooodbyeee!
