In memory of Geoff Chisholm (1965-2022)
We need more than just Turuva bolstering the outside backs. Assuming Naden is moved on, we will be extremely light on, and that's even without considering how likely Olam and Doueihi are to miss time with injury.
The likes of Large and Makasini (Willet maybe?) are still a couple of years away, so I'd be looking at some steady veterans on short term deals to tie us over.
Yes was a difficult one that one. Just went for Charlie because of experience & Luke still very much learning his trade. But I could easily be swayed before season’s end.Curious to know people’s best backline at the Tigers right now and the best backline next year given who we know will be there.

Probably the same as yours (maybe Laulilii in there somewhere), but I'd be pretty disappointed if that was our 1-7 come round 1 next year.
