If this is true remember these are all rumours at this stage.I don't think anyone would complain about Stimson and Britt in a vacuum.
When you factor in who is being moved on (RFM and Martin) and who is being kept (Elliott and co) then it's clear Pay doesn't want skillful second rowers and wants a team full of workers from the country.
Also factor in the angst over not signing a hooker, centres and wingers and another half or fullback when there is so much young talent at other clubs that can't get a run then you can see why people are getting anxious.
If these two signings are followed up with a good young hooker, a promising centre and some other exciting prospects then I'm sure we'll all be more positive. Hopefully some more exciting signings are announced soon.
RFM and Martin would be on more then minimum wage. Britt would not be.
I agree we need other positions filled but the players that the club are linked to are not backs at this stage. We have a long way (November) to go before the better players are on the market.
