I'd swap Vallerand and Kielly, because Fox has stated Kielly will start bottom 6.
I like the look of our defence, but can't help but think we lack firepower. We seem to be relying on players scoring a lot heavier than last seasons stats would suggest, which is a gamble.
Let's hope we have a couple of star players lined up.

Bob fairytale has referred to Pustertal wolves in two articles the first that we lost David Morley to them and he mentioned McNally played for them, makes me wonder if we’ve signed this guy who signed for them last season just a guess?

If Jussola, Luchuk, Murphy and Allen were our last 4 forwards to be announced / signed then we could look something like:Doom wrote: ↑Thu Jul 20, 2023 8:31 amI suspect this isn't too far off.JoeySlats#13 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2023 5:56 pmVery very loose guess based on signings so far and rumours from today:

That looks pretty good to me and the D looks like a real strength, increased size and more physical defensive signings who can still provide offense.

Don't understand why everyone thinks Allen is definitely returning? Apart from one article in the Star essentially saying we still had some interest (which has been said about players who have subsequently signed elsewhere), I've seen nothing. Given 2/3s of his line have already been announced weeks ago, I'd have thought it would have made sense to confirm him if signed.
We've got 4 import forwards left to sign/announce. Fair bet 1 is Juusola. Therefore 3 more as yet unknown with one of those not signed.

He's signed for a team for next season according to EP there.

- Watling Vallerrand
Ciampini. - Neumann
Kiely. Simpson. Dowd
Shudra. Whistle. Juusola

Nevalainen. Petgrave
Tansey. Saucerman
Diffley. Jones
Ciampini. - Neumann

With the signing of Watling I'm now hoping we have signed Allen for the 2nd line. If that is the case, I'd suggest Allen centres Neumann and Ciampini with Vallerand joining Watling and another on the top line.
That would push Dowd down to 3rd which would give us some nice goal scoring depth,
In his interview, Fox did intermate that he's looking for another top line forward, although he also suggested that Neumann could move to the top line depending on who he signs.
I certainly think with today's signings our forward line is starting to look something like. I'm still predicting we'll be behind both Cardiff and Belfast for goals, but not by a lot (I've based it on all remaining import forwards 20 goals and defencemen 5 goals).
