WXV: Cairo Sands

[Nige]

We're pretty happy with what we've done so far. Added 10 new faces to Cairo through the trade period. I think we've managed to actually improve our depth which means Alexandria should hopefully do a better job next year, but also not sacrifice any quality in the XV as well.

Gov, Robbo, Vlastuin, Pidge
Adams, Beams, Hall, Newnes
Mummy
Benny, Lobb, Clugg, Gresh
Hendo, Amon

Kedge, Jeffy, Stewart

Doesn't look bad at this stage.  8)

Trades Hall, traded Newnes, (and iirc) traded Gresh. Got Zaha. Lost Mummy to retirement, Lobb could be FWD only. No draft picks to inject any youth.

What size spoon would you like?

One big enough help mix the batter of the celebratory cake for our impending 18th place finish.
