I think now the 1 over 8 in the team has been scrapped alot of teams will have strong top 5 and a 2pointer at reserve Whalley,Southwick,vale,summers to name a few. So stronger reserves could be beneficial possibly
If this is the team very harsh treatment of Kyle Newman who i would of thought deserved a team place after coming into the team and doing a great job especially to replaced by Kennett baffles me!
Personally think bowes would be good signing for 2027 if fit his starting average is lower than he started on last season. He impressed me when he rode well at Plymouth before his injury problems
