TBF we have a few banging on the door, however the deal for Ali, which has been brilliant by the way is probably a stop gap until players are actually good enough (slightly different).
I am not aware that we have bid for Gilmore, i would personally be disappointed if that were a FACT, we should be looking to "bring through" or if we must "bring in", bring in better!!!

Just out of interest then KC, if Gilmour is past-it what would you think about signing someone like say, Keith Mason ?

A step backwards, i know we are linked with him, not good in my view, penalty machine.

What about Steve Menzies ?

Steve Menzies is without question a freak, and would get in almost all SL sides, with the greatest of respect to Gilmour he is (or should be) in a different league.
Gilmour has been a good player, but he is palying for his pension fund now IM humble O.

Menzies certainly is something very different.

Steve Menzies has been called into the Exiles squad.

The Vinnie Anderson to Cas rumour is a new one to me but I would be very excited if this is true. He has the experience to help Cas where the inexperience of Holmes and Thompson has worked against us. Alos, if we sign Gilmour it would also provide cover for Webster and Shenton so we can leave JT to develop into a quality back rower.

Would be happy with gilmour adds bags of experience to pass on to the young lads and still has plenty left in the tank.

Easy nickname for morgy too, just call him happy.

wouldnt be sad to see gilmour leave now, started well this season playing at prop-yes prop! but gone backwards again just like last season and struggles to take a tackle without knocking on...all too often gets smashed and takes and age to get back up with hands on his hips.

had a great career though.

Announced tomorrow in p&c
