Three new nines...
New Scrum-halves Arrive.

It's a bit like buses, you wait all day for a scrum-half and then three turn up at once.
Team rebuilding continues as three new scrum-halves are announced on the official site.
Alex Smit (22) returns to the club from Nottingham, Pete White (24) joins us from Bedford and Rhodri Adamson (22) moves from Blaydon.
Adamson played twice against us last season. He was on the wrong end of a 38-0 defeat in November at the Butts, but gained revenge in the return fixture in March this year when Blaydon won 26-8. In both games Adamson played at fullback. (Source: http://rugby.statbunker.com/)
With all three of them looking like young, promising players it looks like there will be some competition for the starting No.9 shirt this year.
There's more information on the new signings available on the official site:

Is Adam Canning totally finished or has he back in training ?
He appears not to have been retained by Cov.

Quote:John Wilkinson
Adam will be training with the squad over the summer.
That's good to hear. Even if he then moves on, it would be good to know that he had made a full recovery.
"Great feeling to dust the boots off for the first time since September to get some kicking practice and running in. Grateful for my health"
"Million miles away from where I was and where I need to be but closer than I was yesterday"
Incidentally, he still has 'Rugby player at Coventry Rugby' on his profile page.

Still is according to something I just read along with Liam Munro. Both have summer to prove their fitness. Best wishes to both of them
Not just their fitness - “Both Adam and Liam will be given the opportunity throughout the summer to become a part of the squad for the coming season,” said Winter. (CT 23/05).
I'd read that much more a proving their capabilities, as RW hasn't had the chance to see them play this season on videos.

So has Will Hurrell.
I'm reading absolutely nowt into that.
