A lot of debate whilst we wait on the last couple signings about this issue. Some think we've signed enough tough players that we won't be intimidated whilst others want a top level enforcer to keep other teams honest and protect our guys.
So far we've signed Delahey who seems willing to drop the gloves and reasonably handy though probably doesn't fall into the enforcer bracket. Then there's Muir who will have a go at most. Is that enough?
I don't think it is, I don't like the idea of a Valabik, Nickerson, McIver, Fitzgerald or a Clarkson rocking up and knocking our lads about. The leagues stacked with guys like these this year and what will happen once they've given Delahey a pounding and nobody else wants to step up? So personally I think someone who can compete with those guys is a must.

Fox, Lee and Paquet won't take a step back either

I think our final signing will be the enforcer that we need.

Having played with Nickerson for the last two seasons Danny will know what we require to compete this year.

Without a doubt we need someone who will go with the big guys in the league.

I do really hope that one of the last two signings is an enforcer, adds to the entertainment value. If you think of the highlights over the last few seasons I'm sure Matt Nickerson would have been involved....I rest my case

Steve Macintyre would be the best signing we have made since joining the elite! We wouldn't get bullied one game with him in the squad!
Imagine plonking him infront of the goalie on a power play

He would. But I think he's a bit out of our wage budget by a few thousand a month...

Given the rumour forum has only got one signing right so far I find it bizarre that someone knows the indentity of the last signings and that we're not getting an enforcer. #moanfest

Todd said it would be a grittier tougher all round team, so I am thinking we will beore like season 2 but tougher and grittier hopefully harder to beat
