Squad for Season.

Im sure people will say there is no point in just signing players for the sake of it but we do need more 2nd rows.

I’d missed news of Lonsdale. It’s a new name to me. Any good?

Rugby can be a brutal game and the attrition rate particularly for forwards can be high, so it is necessary to have enough reserves. Also those likely to be on the bench ideally are almost as good as the starting XV, but who will not be too disappointed with that position. A glance at this coming season's squad -https://all.rugby/club/scarlets/squad [URL= ][/URL] shows that we have 6 locks (Fifita down as back row) and 3 of those locks are of pretty high quality with Tom Price, Rawlins and Helps unlikely to be in action too often. Obviously most of these were not Peel's signings and as their contracts end we will probably see a reduction in numbers but an improvement in quality.

Any good? i think hell go well looks decent when he plays but he does rareky start. For us we have some big hitters kem foxt halfoenny cawdor patchell and scott whio are facing huge make or break seasons. Could be a real battke beween the old stars and the young guns for starting places

Thanks RR & Kentexile
