Really think we do need a couple of additions to the back line maybe even another forward but seems like we’re going with what we’ve got

I would feel much safer seeing Foster and Minikin there personally.
I think DP has said he will go with Minikin at centre, but if we are hammered down that side (due to Minikins lack of size) I can see Foster being used in the centres.
Or we could actually bring a centre in and play Minikin on the wing and have Clare as backup

This. Or bring in a top class winger and play Minikin at centre. Eitherway we need a change on the right side.

No good bringing in a top class winger if the centre inside of him isn’t up to the job. I would love a direct replacement for Jake, in size and stature.

If we go Minikin and Clare next year there won’t be any CC or GFwinners at Cas. Simply not good enough

Minikin is a centre not a winger and I believe quite rightly he will get his shot next year, that does leave a wing spot open as we require a player that will give us an edge (on that edge). I expect someone will be signed up, work is clearly underway to free up some cap space and JW has confirmed that there will be a small number of personnel changes. Patience is quite possibly a requirement here.

Indicates a resigning than a new signing. Probably Minikin new contract.

Could be...fits the bill of fans being happy about it and it is one of JWs key goals in the short term, to tie him up.

Left field but Rhys Evans is being touted around by Leigh and I believe he is one of Craig’s ... not sure how I would feel about that!
