Dave K.:
I don't think we are far off in the front row, if Ashworth stays, we have
Ese Ese
Aydin
Ashworth
Hill
Fash
Salabio
Plus maybe Wainhouse (if he stays).
One more would be nice, maybe Eseh if he shows up well the next few games.
As for a centre, without a quota spot, I don't see much better available that Cross, think he would be a good replacement for Briscoe, but if he or someone of equal or better quality isn't available I would keep Briscoe for one more year.
Maybe only King, but would he come and he wouldn't be cheap, depends on how much cap space we have.
Hopefully Litten has a good run at centre this year and he can nail down that position and have Briscoe, Westerman and Dawson as back ups.
Agree with most of that but the pack still lacks size for me. Only Ese'ese is that big unit with some punch and an offload. Whilst it's good to have mobile forwards like Aydin and Ashworth, I think we still need another big prop.
King would be a fantastic signing and whilst given the unexpected pace of the clubs turnaround, we won't be the only one's interested or the most attractive option. You never know though.
