Why waste money when we got an unders 19,s team with lads more than capable of stepping up to the mark

Williams was lacking experience until this season but has come on massively.
Do you think the same could not be achieved with the likes of Hampshire and Doran etc?

Same team full of youngsters turned Leeds over on their own turf a couple of seasons ago.
The team has experienced players in key positions to help out.
Maybe if there weren't too many changes it would be too bad especially with a decent pre season.

If there's no more signings does that suggest SOL will still be playing next year?
Whatever happened to Billy McGinty's pineapple?

Thats a fair comment and I think we are saying similar things.
We have some very talented youngsters and its about introducing them at the right time.
I would like to see a little bit more bulk on Rocky, but adding weight can also have issues with loosing pace which he is blessed with. Some say he is faster than Sam Tomkins was which is a massive benefit to the team.

No.It doesn't suggest anything But you have. :) Regarding the topic I concur with the opinions of CP and Suzie. I think we need ,tho, an established goal kicker(unless Smith improves remarkably in the off season

The bulk / extra lbs may come naturally PM as he ages.
