i personally think we'll line up something as follows if there are no more anouncements:
afoa
thacker/malton
thomas/thiede/armstrong
vui
muldowney/joyce
heenan/thomas
jeffries/lam
luatua
stirzaker
madigan
pincus
hurrell
leiua
morahan
piutau
i think at least 2 of the champ signings will become effective starters just unsure as to who yet. Still not convinced in the slightest that we will have a 'monster pack' especially considering PLs style and the lack of beef in the 2nd row.
Also not sure we can get away with Pisi as starting 12 next season. When we were on the back foot against Jersey he seemed somewhat predictable to our detriment which i personally put down to him being at that stage of his career where hes lost a bit of his running game.
ive said it before and ill say it again; with the squad that we have, we are 3 or 4 key injuries away from a bang average team at best imo!
Afoa is a tight head prop (and I would think is a clear first choice) - backed up by Thiede and Armstrong.
Thomas is a loosehead and will probably be vying with Jordan Lay (also Woolmore).
Ollie Dawe will hopefully be developing and force his way into contention covering both sides.
