If we had decided to stick with Bennison on the wing long term we could at least be comfortable he would be still around in 5 years, but with Ritson, we are in a position where the full 3/4 line is going to need replacing in the next few years. Players like Newman or Murphy (before the NRL got him) will be needed to supplement any Aussies we can sign or players like Robertson, Sambou x2, Dagnall, Vaughan etc coming through.
Heard today that we were chasing Toby King, with Wigan signing Kieghran and needing extra money in the cap to sign Dupree, and him not welcome back at Warrington. No idea if its true, or just seems like we have gone really quiet from a rumours perspective.
Still think we need 2 outside backs and 2 props alongside Clark at the moment.
