[QUOTE="bushytop, post: 911388, member: 56738"] So Mulvihill has just announced that the Blues have closed shop on transfers for the coming season and with where it stood until a week or two ago (no news on anything at all), I think he and the board have done well. Prior to any signings being made, the predominant view was that the squad needed strengthening at tight head, lock and some number 8 coverage for Nick Williams if they could manage the finances. Well that has been achieved and with Dmitri Arhip and Samu Manoa I think that the Blues have attracted players above the quality that I was expecting. Those two just about cover the wish list too, what with Manoa being able to play Lock and at 8. On top of that there are the signings of Rory Thornton (loan) another second row and back three cover with Jason Harries. I think they’ve done pretty well all things considered. Tough group for them in the Heineken Cup but I think anything less than achieving a Pro 14 play off spot would be a big disappointment. The turnaround from when Danny Wilson announced his exit last September has been unbelievable to be fair, it could be an exciting season for the long suffering Blues supporters. [/QUOTE]
