Quote: Old Feller "I'm sorry to see Mulhern leave. l thought he had the size & frame to develop into a first rate prop.
I fear that he will come back to bite us similar to Carvell.
I'd rather have kept him than Achurch.
I know Achurch is not a prop.
I wish Mulhern well.'"
Many - including me - would agree with you. And maybe that was the club's orginal plan but they couldn't find a taker for Achurch (plenty of rumours suggesting he was on his way out). Maybe they thought Mulhern would be well looked after by Jamie Peacock in the meantime until Achurch could be offloaded, but then were blindsided by Peacock and his new employer persuading him to sign on a permanent contract instead.
I just hope that Achurch has a blinder 2016 proving all his detractors wrong. He might even have a go at swatting off Escare on a touchline run.
