I wonder if there has been worrying news in Dickos recovery?

Dell was probably due a better deal as he's become a regular international.

We've done quite well to get him. At Toulon he took a group of under-performing stars, less than the sum of their parts, and got them to the Top 14 Final against the odds. Should be good preparation for the task at hand up here...

A year ago now and the improvements Dell has made have been massive. It'll be interesting to see how they go and hopefully we keep all props fit as last year was carnage.

Is Sutherland back in training? Will he be fit for start of the season?

Burleigh and Galbraith can both do the job you'd expect a third choice 10 to do. Neither Weir or Tovey have been so great that the drop down would be particularly massive.

Whilst I concede either could play in an emergency, my point still stands. Burleigh has been tried and found wanting. I know Galbraith has played stand off, centre and full back, but let's not start pushing youngsters in more than one position until they have had a chance to grow into pro rugby and learned one position properly.

We won games with Burleigh at 10. He wasn't amazing, but he can do a job there with a decent team around him, how many teams have anyone significantly better as their third choice?
