Great start to the week! Are we all done now,not just for today but for good? Not greedy just curious,hows the squad numbers add up RB?

If our pack can get them ball on the front foot I am sure they can score tries

I am a very very happy man even if I don't know how many of our new signings are duel passport holders or which will count as overseas, but as players, very very happy day - POPCORN IS HERE.
Hehehehehehehehe

I mean we are not done by numbers POV.
Bateman, Cortes, Hills, Stevens, are not replaced.
And who knows about the backs.
Moroni could be Manu or Holmes replacement with Van Wyk replacing Thompstone or Viljoen.

This is a very good day and the light is shining brighter after the last few weeks. In fact, with our new back like, I am left thinking Manwho

Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

I think you could see the 2 Aussies as replacements for Thompstone and Viljoen, granted they are development but both were deemed good enough for super rugby contracts before the world changed.RagingBull wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 12:08 pm I mean we are not done by numbers POV.

When you look on Paper Porter seems more of Thomas replacement.Mark62 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 12:12 pmI think you could see the 2 Aussies as replacements for Thompstone and Viljoen, granted they are development but both were deemed good enough for super rugby contracts before the world changed.RagingBull wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 12:08 pm I mean we are not done by numbers POV.

For Moroni says will join “at end of his contractual obligations with Jaguars” Anyone know (or has a good guess) of when that would be?

A much needed moral boost. Still think we could do with another loosehead and lock, but I think we've done some tidy business.
The potential backline is mouthwatering!

Great signing! He was the Jaguares starting outside centre so I suspect that's where we'll see him line-upRagingBull wrote: ↑Mon Jul 20, 2020 12:01 pm Interesting that he is classed as outside back who can play center on the tigers website?
Maybe he isn’t Manu replacement but more Holmes?
