[QUOTE="Geordie, post: 1125787, member: 71380"] Maybe im overly optimistic but i think we have the players to get the team back to basics and then over the next few years really build. Scrum and lineout were the best in the 6n. So we have a solid base to go from and as mentioned above, we have an array of young locks coming through over the next few seasons. We also have a number of young props such as Brantingham, Joe Hayes etc...maybe Exeter can turn Painter in the player we hoped. Plus the likes of Tim Hoyt at Tigers who they hopefully can develop. We still have the likes of Tom West now at Tigers whos only 27 and i think hes a cracking LH prop....should be in over Mako now. Our physicality was brutally exposed. We have young players like Ted Hill, George Martin to come in, Tom Curry to come back, Underhill if he is deemed safe to do so....etc so we can fix that. I think Chandler Cunningham South will be brought in quite quickly as well and he has the lot..very physical AND has skills at 8. We have 4 10s to choose from. Farrell, Ford, M. Smith and i suspect Fin Smith will come in to the equation. From those we have to be able to get the right 10 that we want for the tactics. Midfield - For so long a problem...but light at the end of the tunnel. Lawrence finally came good...but i'd like to see him move to his actual 13 spot. From there we have a host of 12's coming through as mentioned earlier on this thread. Kelly the most advanced and ready to start IMO. Then theres Olly Hartley, Seb Atkinson, Ethan Grayson, Max Ojomoh...all looking to push on for their clubs this season and next. We have a raft of good wingers...we need to decide what style of winger we want and pick them. Id love to see a top class strength and condition coach get hold of Cokasaniga and get him up to his dynamic best. So personally im very optimistic...lets see how Borthwick uses this... [/QUOTE]
