Anyone else heard the rumour that Solomona is out of the final?

I couldn't care less about Eastwood's commitment to the squad. We need him this weekend, he makes our chances of getting a win greater. But what the hell lets not play our strongest side so we can keep the more committed players happy. Its mens rugby, anyone would think it was the womens netball championship final the way some people are bitching.

The way I see it, if Eastwood is picked at prop, he isn't being picked ahead of Clarkson anyway, any more than say, Lee Smith would be picked ahead of Clarkson. Clarkson is not in contention for a prop position is he?

I would pick CLarkson ahead of Eastwood at second row, but that isn't what seems most likely to happen.

I'd also take Kirke as my 4th prop. That leaves positions at a premium for 3 second row spots. JJB, Ablett and Ali (if fit) would probably get the nod. That would be tough on Clarkson, but it wouldn't be Eastwood, or Kirke for that matter, who had been picked in his place. Clarkson isn't a prop, so he doesn't feature in the front row selection options.

very level headed intelligent response.

Lance Todd winner for me, go Greg whoop whoop!!

Listen, I haven't booed Greg, nor was I sycophantic about him before the announcement he wanted out.

I understand these things happen and I understand why they happen. I don't really care if he's genuinely homesick or not. All I care about is whether he produces on the pitch. This season, for a variety of reasons, he hasn't. his commitment to the club is questionable. His commitment in training* is a microcosm of that and may be part of the reason he's been so injury prone and unfit.

However, none of the above gets under my skin. It's just a sad fact of life that he's a big daft lad** with a poor background who hasn't treated a club I love very well. What I don't need, however, is him making shallow rallying statements about putting his hand up for anything to help the club which is, frankly, hypocritical, bull. greg will put his hand up to benefit Greg, no more, no less. So, when I see BS I call BS.



*I've heard this from a definitive source which I won;t name but you can take it or leave it and I won't elaborate.


**With respect to McLaren_Field

Yes, stuff the players who are committed to the clubs future. They should man up. But the poor homesick fatty deserves buckets of sympathy in the meantime.

You are Richie Eyres.

Hence Diskin being in the team

Its ok as I’m sure that Frosties has told a few other people than yourself

The same difinitive source that knows exactly how Luke Burgess feels?

when do you have the op?

must be painful having your nose permantly up his ar[ise[/i

If peacock and burgess were fit I think we would only be going with 3 props anyway.

so long minutes from bails. kylie and beast interchanging and Ali, ablett, jjb, senior delaney and clarkie making good yards.

That's my plan anywho!

Out of interest do you have the same disdain of Lee smith who was homesick 200 miles down the road?

let's hope fatty fat fatty eastwood doesn't come up with the same blunders he did in the semi.
