[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 911314, member: 13739"] Good looking squad that. The addition of Arhip makes a big difference to a position they really struggled with last season. If they can add Manoa to bolster another couple of problem positions at lock and no.8 that would certainly improve things further. Thornton should add good depth at lock as well. I agree regarding Lane. I wasn't convinced with the Haloholo - Lee-Lo partnership for a long time, thought they were too similar to, but towards the end of last season they worked a little like a tag team, applying relentless pressure on the opposition. However lane could add a point of difference in the centre with a little more raw pace and power. Nipper on the wing is another thing which should happen. He's a little too exposed at fullback for my liking, especially under the high ball and in defense. The arguments have always been that it gives him extra space and time to run from deep, but that never stopped Shane Williams out on the wing. There's also Dan Fish to return at fullback who was starting to look very good before his long injury lay off. [/QUOTE]
