He has played 6 and 7 for the first team, he would be very small (currently) to play hooker. Not sure at Junior levels

My one worry would be a lack of experience / depth in the backs. It’s a balancing act though with youth vs experience vs salary.

Seems like Douglas, Eckersley and Farrimond are the backup.

Good summary and there could be a nugget from the Academy coming through, going off this year!
