Exactly, rather stick with what we have, 2/3 more ganes then Trueman back. I wouldn't waste a quota spot on someone like Drinkwater. If we could get someone like O Sullivan on a long deal then I'd bring someone in now, otherwise I'd stick with west we have, unless there is a domestic player. I'd maybe risk Russell on a loan deal, then we can sign am overseas forward.

Cant see Gardiner and Laidlaw been anything but future Championship level players

I'd be ok with that. There's more chance of finding the right coach if we are patient. Until then I'm assuming Grix and Myler will be in charge of recruitment and they both can't do any worse than what's gone on in recent years. Alternatively a coach is appointed soon but not in charge until next season as Rugby Raider says.

Tiaki Chan could be available to loan from Wigan .

he would be a loan signing that could actually add something to us rather than just plugging a hole

Indeed , Even if it's short term like Matt Peet suggests it could be .
