I've stolen this from the rumours thread to help keep it tidier.
When you factor in everyone we have it's maybe not quite as bad as first thought, to my reckoning we have 33 players to make up our potential 2018 squad, what does jump out at me is we are top heavy with forwards over backs (10 for the backline while we have 18 forwards with JJ as the potential floater), definitely need another winger & centre while a utility wing/centre would be an added bonus.
Let's just hope there's the now annual late recruit that comes in last minute before the season starts who is a bit of a revelation.

It's actually 26 players in total. You've counted a few twice.

Looking at that though you do get the impression that Wood could be a pivotal player, injuries in the halves and hooking position and he is the only real back up. |

Just watched Fiji highlights on BBC Ben Nakubuwai looks a very good signing big 6-4 and 17 stone with plenty of pace

I know we have been linked with Littlejohn but where has the rumour re the Fijian lad come from, we still haven't even announced the board yet so still not getting my hopes up about in comings.
