Nah, cant agree with 10th!
The squad looks good. Stability from the last few seasons is crucial, and a few of the youngsters will add some pizzazz.
Players like Callum Chick look like this could be there season to really show their potential.

Is Solomona any better than young Radwan or Kibirige at the moment? I honestly wouldn't swap them.
Don't discount stability either. This squad know each other very well now. They fight for each other and are well drilled in Deans requirements and tactics.
Yes we lost 4 important guys to retirement, but we have replaced them with very good premiership experienced players. Plus we have added a lot of potential.
If you were at the Nottingham game you would have seen a lot of them getting a run out and their enthusiasm is just so infectious.
We've also got Cavubati playing which he didn't last season.
Dean is a shrewd, knowledgeable character. He knows how to put together a good squad. Yes money is tight but all the same..he says these lads are ready.
He built the Harlequins side that won the title...including bringing through Robshaw etc etc.
Im confident
