Ryan Hall did get one in 2007, i know because i've seen it. although he doesn't count it because he was 18th man, but he still has four winners rings

Needless to say I am delighted the club has put its faith in so many " kids " .... We will miss Buderus ( esp in defence ) more than some might care to admit and maybe the hand has been forced owing to a dearth of proven talent in the key areas that needed strenghening - centre and ali-type second row - but I've got to be pleased. Hope McShane and Hood, in particular, can rise to the challenge in filling the boots of their illustrious predecessor. Being better than Diskin will present no problem of course

( ... And I still think Amor would have been preferable to Moore....but hey ho. I'm happy )

I'm surprised no-one has commented yet about GH's new villa in Barbados being the reason for the lack of signings........

....and I thought it was because of rendering new signings unnecessary owing to the faith in the quality of squad incumbents like the scintillating sublime Smith and king Kirke

And in the case of Wellens and Pryce, an account at 'Cash For Gold' for all the losers ones ....

I guess we'll be giving Squeef his age as a his squad number, when / if he comes back for the pay-as-you-play deal touted at the end of last season ...
