[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 853371, member: 73592"] Yup; we're offloading 2 #8s this summer; one of whom is overpaid for his role (Denton, bought in panic, and is now 2nd choice at best), and one of whom has been overtaken by a younger model (Sisi) - and neither of whom have really settled in at Bath for whatever reson. It still leaves us with 3 specialist #8s though, plus a number who can cover, it's really not a priority. What we need is a monster THP to share starts with Henry Thomas; and I'd also like to see a better youngster at SH (or more faith given to Homer Jr) Townsend would be ideal if Exeter are going to concentrate on Maunder. The step down between Khan and the rest is just too great, with Allinson being barely Championship standard IMO. Another centre (Jonny Williams / Ollie Devoto) would be nice, though not necessarily a necessity with Tapuai, Joseph and Clark making a nice, balanced triumvirate, and Banahan actually looking like he's finally taken to the centre berth earlier this season. I suspect that if we do look for a centre, it'll be a big beast to replace Freaun and leave Banas out on the wing though. If Watson wants to specialise as a wing, then a 3rd option at FB would be useful too (Bendy come home?) [/QUOTE]
