There had been talk of Battye leaving so its good to see he is sticking around and also that he has been promoted to the senior squad.
Is this someone we should be looking at? He didn't have the best season last year but he didn't get many chances either

Generally speaking you aren’t learning much if your lips are moving!!!
I would say no if we could get Tim Bennetts.
Chambers strikes me as one of those guys who comes over thinking he will be great and it is everyone else's fault that he isn't. He had a bit of a whinge when he came over to the Reds that Berrick Barnes was moving on and that really gets to me- players who think they will only look good playing outside stars. He didn't look good in a Reds side that won the competition so he probably isn't worth our time. I suppose you could do worse though.
He's a bit of an injury liability as well.

Besides we need a winger or two rather than centres.
Sidey, Dellit, Cummins and Stanley would be competent at 13.
Sidey, Stanley and Fairbanks competent at 12.
A winger and a 10/12/15 type player would be better value.

We are building up a great young team, however, we are missing a player with the x factor, what a pity we could not hold onto O Connor

Two left to sign and Fijian flyer Napolioni Nalaga looks to be the marque signing.
Swanny got an ITM Premiership medallion on Saturday with Canterbury (defeated Waikato) and is not yet confirmed to return.
Should have asked Mitch Hardy when he was manning the can bar at UWA yesterday!!
