[QUOTE="BluenoseKelv, post: 1111702, member: 78755"] Genge and Sinks should still be good for another cycle and Rodd, Stuart and Heyes will still be around. Probably bringing through another Loosehead is needed with no Mako or Marker. Maybe bring VRR short term to help with the scrum and develop young Whitcombe or maybe bring WGC in from Irish. Hookers will need revamping but keeping George around as mentor with Walker decent back up and then bringing through someone like Dolly and Riley although there are other decent young Hookers. The lock stock is very thin but Chessum, Coles and Tizard are 3 youngsters that need working with and a possible Lawes replacement in George Martin. Isiekwe,.Itoje and Ribbans the main trio of locks and Hill as a back up option. Depth and a a solid partnership need to be found The back row looks strong, you could probably do with finding different combinations like a physical, dynamic or balanced back row depending on the game but we have a ok many young back rowers. In the backs we have four promising Scrum Half's, use them and see who is no.1. Smith should be no.10 but I'd still have Farrell as a transition player to bleed new talent like Atkinson and Fin Smith. Actually bring a proper 12; Lawrence/Kelly/Ojomoh/Anyanwu. 13 looks ok with Northmore, Dingwall and Joseph with Porter still around as backup and Slade will still be an option for a while. Wings and Fullback is an area where we need to be seeing the new generation now not just after the World Cup. A balance of flair and power and a solid 15, enough of the old guard, guys like OHC and Murley are the way forward. [/QUOTE]
