That means no overseas prop forward and there are none good enough available in the UK.
If we sign Roberts you have to question the logic of getting rid of a UK player in Calders and using the one remaining quota spot for a winger when we could do with a real tough nut prop. Even if Calders wasn't wanted by Noble promoting Ainscough would have left us with the quota spot free.
It's also a bit odd that one week were are supposed to bidding for a prop (Wiki) and next supposedly a winger. Is there a recruitment policy or do we just chase whoever becomes available?

Totally agree Dave no sense in it whatsoever, and this doesn't mean I'm knocking the guy before he gets here, but hes a couple of years older than Calderwood and several years older than Ainscough and is it, as you say, just using a quota spot for the sake of it. :conf:
