We have also not solved our problem front row area with poor recruitment there. Next season could be a tough one,I just hope we don't follow the same path of the 2 previous LLS winners.
Powell seems more than happy with the squad and particularly Benny at full back from the article I think from the Pontefract and Cas someone posted yesterday. It's convinced me, although I didn't need much convincing. Worth a read though. Didnt get the impression anyone else was coming in.

With the exception of SILLY ZAK we look stronger, Andy Lynch no doubt a top class prop went on a season to long, only playing to half the level he had been in the past,his replacements Green Clark and Douglas back from loan will be pushing to get in the first team, Monaghan another that had just gone by his sell bye date, replaced by Garry LOW and James Clare, Full back is going to a hard one to fill Benny tweeted that he was going to see a specialist fingers crossed he would be OK as we have heard nothing hopefully no news is good news, the friendly's will give us an indication who that will be if Benny is absent

I hope we get to see Douglas this season. I know it was only one game he played for us so far but didn’t look out of place at all. He showed far more in that match than Maher has done in any for me.

Looks like Benny for the number one shirt, any news on his visit to the specialist that he tweeted that he was going to see ??, back up full backs may be Clare and young Turner

I heard that he had come over for pre-season training and hadn't cut it so he'd been rejected and gone back to France????

Our coach looks like he will be giving Benny the full back roll in my eyes the hardest position to play, with the high bombs being put up to stand and be clattered by the opposition , at 31 i don't think Benny will be relishing the task plus the lad seems to have a few injury problems we will have to wait and see on that one, James Clare i think as been brought in to cover the full back position with our abundance of wingers the lad is tall and fast with a good try scoring record i don't think he will let us down if pressed into service, Callum Turner the only specialist full back at the club having played for England under 19s our coach may think him not ready as yet but one for the future , Greg Eden great winger full back a BIG NO

Correct Clare to FB when Benny is out and makes sense to be fair.
