Who in your opinion is the most important new player to be acquired by your team . A past head coach once claimed that a hooker, number eight and a fly half were the spine of a team and he wanted to recruit all three on our entry to the Championship.
My choice for Ealing Trailfinders is Collins the winger from Northampton. Hopefully Ben Ward will make sure he gets the ball with a little bit of space. Who do believe can make difference at your club ?.

For The Pirates it's got to be the return of fullback/winger Kyle Moyle. A product of Penzance and Newlyn RFC Mini/Junior section (like Jack Nowell, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Tom Hendrickson et al). He was very good for Gloucester when he was given a chance and I was surprised when they let him go.
Can't really comment on the others as I never seen them play.

I think you might find Goodrick Clarke the best signing you have made, surely he must have a release clause if a prem club comes in for him, he is a beast!!!

Blues have only made 4 new signings (2 props, No.8 and centre) plus 2 saints (prop and hooker) who are now Blues! I think retention of pretty much all the players we would want to keep is important for Blues.
I’m going to go for O’Connor a tighthead prop and former Irish U20 from Gloucester.

I reckon TJ Harris. He’s just what we need in our front row.

Probably the most important new signing for Ealing would be planning permission for a new stand. Without that all is vanity.

I would agree with this. By coincidence, I jogged by TFSC yesterday and noticed that there was no construction work going on still, so I had already done a planning search yesterday evening. I can confirm the following: 1. A planning application was submitted in November. 2. That planning application was for temporary stands for 2 years. 3. That new plan raises seating from 1982 to 5022 through the addition of 3 substantial self-contained stands, and 5 sections of standard bleacher seating. Two self-contained stands would go either side of the existing large, east stand, and a final one would be squished into the gravel carpark at the end of the clubhouse. The view from there would be...poor. No impact to the 2nd 3G pitch. 4. The application is still pending in the planning system, however this is not updated particularly regularly. They already had a similar set-up when London Broncos had their superleague season, so I struggle to see why they'd be denied, but Ealing planning is not a swift organization. That said, there is indication from council officers in the notes that the temporary stands would be classified as permitted development - so a positive point there.

Agree with *Stalwart. Kyle Moyle makes a very welcome return to Pirates, will be an experienced head in a relatively young back line.

I suppose it depends on how much you want to be a premiership club.
