Api, Olam and Klemner are all ageing, none of them showing signs of getting any better.
Still a noticeable lack of speed in our 1-7 and back row.
Mooney is certainly a promising young prop and would be a very good signing, unfortunately I think he would be on the radar of a lot of clubs much more successful than what we are, so would be yet another player to add to the growing list where we would have to pay massive overs to vacant chance of signing him.
Luai and Galvin are too similar in my opinion. Both are very busy players, but neither have the individual brilliance to slice open the opposing defence on a regular basis. It could work if we had a lot of brilliant tackle busting, line breaking players around them, but we don’t.
