A few of those a bit disappointing. With Cridge, Williams, Bokenham and Douglas all going we actually no longer have a single specialist lock, only a group of (albeit quite good) lock/6 hybrid players in Holloway, Hanigan and Sinclair. You would have thought with that much talent leaving in one position, at least one of the young guys may have spotted an opportunity if they stuck around. I think Williams is the one with the most potential.
Other losses I think disappointing are Robertson, again with Grant going I thought an opportunity might have appeared, as he looks pretty good to me. I guess we will be looking for Wilson or Goddard to step up.
The last is Ramm. Injury ruined his season, and I guess he saw with the form of Mark N (Nawaqanitawase) and Peitsch it was going to be hard to get back in, but with no fullback next year it may have been an opportunity. The guy has all the natural attributes, a sound defender, serious speed and a huge boot. I hope he goes well.
Tizzano is a talent, but with Gamble and Hooper there really wasn't an opportunity for him, so hope he finds a chance elsewhere. Grant was at his ceiling, and I don't think the loss of Roberts, Smith, Funa or Reilly will cause much trouble.
