[QUOTE="Geordie, post: 913370, member: 71380"] BPM McGuigan has a lot to prove. There were a few eyebrows raised when he left as it was very similar to Keiron Brookes. Cooper Is heads and tails the best hooker in the squad, but Socino and Mcguigan will provide good back up Calum Chick is a quality backrower. but he suffered from injuries last season and hasn't really built on the potential we know he has. It was also felt that he was too lean..and needed a few pounds of muscle on him. Well judging on the first two preseason games, he's been in the gym! He looks heavier and more muscular. Not massively, just enough to make the difference. He's been physical and aggressive, which bodes very well. Latu was an old Warrior and Hogg was just a classy top class number 8. Both will be missed but if Chick shows up, Negussa shows up and Collett comes through well, then the miss wont be as big. Lawson was a good experienced hooker, but I don't think we'll struggle without him as explained above. Olmstead is a good lock, but we have a very good set of locks at the club. So again im not sure he'll be missed that much. [/QUOTE]
