J Ford is a clear second choice, he'll know that and hopefully he'll be able to do a job - plus he's a good target for someone like Hardwick to set his sights on to overtake. Ryan seems like the type of person we've been missing in the back row on occasion. Kalamafoni can be a big ball carrier we need and Holmes will likely improve and could be better value in the squad than Betham.
Unfortunately they can't be good signings because JackFlashJonny isn't excited by them.
They are not exciting signings imo doesn't mean they can't be good signings though

Because both are over 30 and have a history of injury problems. To be honest I'm surprised Tait got a new contract, we're paying for his rugby brain rather than his physical capabilities these days.
We need a 20 something big ball carrier that can ideally play centre and wing.

Whilst a great player JPP is not the player we need imo
All the best JPP
More like we needed to unload him first and it remains to be seen who we have signed with his banked wages. I suspect it will not be another winger and I doubt if it will be a stellar name. I live in hope.
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity
