Who knows?
Imo we don't have a top 3 forward line.
Middle six yes but how these will line up is anyone's guess.
As for D, we have 1 pairing.

Too early to assess yet.
I would guess Neumann and Ciampini will be together and if Allen signs that will be a line.
As for the rest, who knows
I just hope that we don't have any more than 1 of our 1st liners signed to date, because we need at least two more guys who will offer 25+ goals.
If our top 6 turns out to be Ciampini, Neumann, Allen, Dowd, Vallerand and Kristo I think I'll go into meltdown.
For me that wouldn't be good enough and would leave us behind the likes of Belfast and Cardiff.

I would hope we are looking at something like
Ciampini- Import - Import
Neumann - Import - Import
Vallerand - Simpson - Dowd
If it’s the above I’d be very happy.
But if we’re sticking everyone up a line or 2, I don’t think we’d have enough to challenge.

I don’t think Dowd and Vally have signed on the 3rd on 3rd line money. Time will tell though, and if so we should deffo be competing for trophy’s…

I think Ciampini and Neuman will be on line one.

I'm hoping Simpson is centering the 4th line, and that we haven't announced any top liners yet. Otherwise we'll get exactly what we got last season.

I want to see Whistle centre the third and have Simpson Centre a fourth big physical line.

Very very loose guess based on signings so far and rumours from today:
From another hint that Fox dropped at some point someone who played with Ciampini in North America would be Wade Murphy.
Ciampini-Allen?-Neumann
???-???-Kielly
Vallerand-Simpson-Dowd
Shudra-Whistle-Juusola?
Tansey-Saucerman?
Nevalainen-Petgrave
Diffley-Jones
Greenfield
Moronne?
Brit

Hope he was referring to this guy tbh…

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?
