First, thank you for not mentioning Barbeary anywhere in that post
Second, thanks for laying it all out, I hadn't really appreciated what a potential problem we might have at 13. Will be interesting to see if one comes in soon.
I disagree 15 is particularly weak for us, I think Crossdale (with a run of games I think he'd improve a lot), Minozzi, and Umaga are more than good enough. I think the usggestion of Umaga playing his way back to 10 via a stint at 15 is credible too.
Finally, this highlights what an odd, if exciting, signing Haydon-Wood would be. If we really needed more cover at 10, going for someone more different to Atkinson, i.e., experienced, would have made much more sense. Will believe it when I see it.
