[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 797429, member: 73592"] Not quite what I meant... We desperately need someone though; it's getting silly now; however many international #8s we buy up. We'll have lost Fa'osiliva, Houston, Mafi, and Northcote-Green; with only Faletau coming in. No-one's quite sure if Sisi is coming back from loan or not. 4 out, 1 in is not good maths. Nor is having 5 players over the age of 21 to cover 3 positions; especially when 3 of those 5 will be away for the AIs and 2 for the 6N. We'll still have a god first choice - match-day backrow (Garvey, Louw, Faletau, Denton) but behind that we'll have... Mercer and... erm... straight to the academy for 6th choice (or possibly Sisi, with his massive 300 minutes for LI this season). OK, so we've got Douglas and Mercer Jr in the academy who both look promising; but we just need more bodies; Underhill would get plenty of game-time in this set up (if we try to get hold of him). Of course, uncertainty over whether MFord is staying in his job won't be helpful for recruitment - and if he is confirmed, then his inability to rotate won't stand him in good stead.... I'm getting worried about our backrow for September. [/QUOTE]
