I don't think we need too much, just need the players we have to play better.
I don't like Jimmy at 10, I admit, but long term Jacob is ten. Who would sign as no 2? Nobody who is good enough to challenge for his shirt. Better to have a player making his way in the position as back up, with experienced players who can fill I which is what we have in Miller and Gopperth.
I think we do probably need another lock, but I am prepared to be talked out of it, and if WR goes make that 2. Gaskell's injury rate is a worry. Imagine signing a Wentzel type, but again, are there any?
Another 13, perhaps one who could also play 12 might be a long term option, as opposed to a 13 who covers wing. That said MF is the owner of the shirt, and who is going to come in knowing that? Effectively that would replace JdJ, which might be on the cards sooner rather than later.
Maybe if Lima is off at the end of the year we could replace him with someone of Beale like abilities- a utility back who plays in a number of positions, which solves the issue of established players already owning the shirt in any one position. So swap a Lima for an overseas version of Malins or similar, a genuine play anywhere type of guy. Can't think who we could realistically get though. On last week you could swap Lima for practically anyone and get an improvement, sadly. I suspect he will go at the end of year and Jan will be the time to start looking, unless the cash is just swallowed up.
