It's not the numbers, it's the quality that counts. We signed quite a few last year and not a lot came out of it. We are still where we were then.

No Ben was released at start of last season for work reasons.
There are still a couple of trialists playing at w/e plus we are still waiting for confirmation of dual registered players.
Interesting press release by Scott Morgan on offy site Friday.
