Skelton would turn the whole complexion of the side on its head. When we’re not so focused on the hole in the second row we’ve actually got an underrated front-row of Bell-Horton-HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes), a strong 6 and 8 in Dempsey and Swinton, a dynamic halves pairing of Gordon and Harrison and some talent in the backs amongst Maddocks, Ramm, and Moeroa.

According to the Tahs CEO Dempsey hasn't signed a new contract for next year as of yet but the club is hopeful

I don’t think they even need a player of Skelton’s calibre. If they could just secure 3 reasonable, hardworking locks they would come right back into calculations. If they signed someone of the calibre of of Skelton or Arnold then they become a realistic title threat.

Bench & broader squad depth would still be a huge issue, but the starting 15 would be very competitive.

I just don’t see where those available locks are though.

Hugh Pyle’s name has been mentioned a few times. I can’t see on a search if he is unsigned or not for next year. Is he a realistic option?

Nope. He has signed a two year deal with Bayonne. He said recently he would love to play for the Wobs but has no interest in playing Super Rugby.

wrt Lock. I half expect Will Harris may do a Jed Holloway and play there as a stop gap solution if Dempsey and Swinton are in the back row. He’s a big unit who loves the tight stuff so I don’t see why he couldn’t make a decent go of it for a year.
