1. Andre stays
2. McCloskey
3. BJVR
I highly doubt any of those options are possible though.
Realistically, I think we need to adapt our style in preparation
for life without Andre. Not sure what the situation with
Northmore’s injury is, but he did look good at 12 at the start
of the season - that’s probably our best option IMO.
Also changing style opens up the field of potentially available
centres. I read Hutchinson at Saints is out of contract for
example.

I didn't think northmore did look particularly good there, but
he's a very good player so I'd back him to make it work if
that's the direction we went in.

Northmore at 12 is a good option, IMHO.
Hutchinson would be a good signing.
Jonathan Danty - a pipe dream maybe ?

I’ll probably get a load of abuse for suggesting it but what
about trying Beard at 12, big, strong, fast, good handling
skills, good defence not sure about his kicking game.
I know he’s been 13 or wing but he has the skills to do it.
Might be a cheaper option.
Anyway I’ll stop with the silly ideas now.

solid when called to kick (especially when he receives
re-starts). He would be worth a go IMHO.

When I first read the subject I thought it said "shopping for a
12 pack"

Sam Spink now being heavily linked to Sarries.
With all our rumoured and most likely accurate departures,
fairly concerning we appear to have no solid incomings

Or at least, none announced.
Personally I'm not concerned. It's still early days for
transfers and we'll still have a strong squad even after the
leavers (most of which aren't yet confirmed).
It's more important that we get the right players in, and that
might well be players for whom other clubs are vying, leaving
them yet to decide.

Dream signing would be Jordie Barrett. Think him and Marcus
would compliment each other incredibly well.
A slightly more realistic signing would be Menoncello. Thought
he was fantastic against France at the weekend and can play at
12 through to 14.
