| I've said before that I'm not convinced too much by Toovey.
As I understand it, he was a great player who retired and took the coaching job at his former team. With that still pretty good team he won the championship and then slowly the team fell away and then he got sacked. Then he came here.
He's not got a visa, due to the poor administration levels of those running the show, but despite the club still not being in a position to offer any employment he's still here, which suggests he's not getting other offers. Our team is also slowly falling away.
Jimmy Lowes was a great player.

The only thing that worries me about them 3 numbers are that 10 could have been left as they assumed Joseph might sign, and 12 I worry was earmarked for Foster who seemed to hang around long enough to get a decent offer but I'm ultimately guessing didnt get an offer he could accept. After seeing his Cas debut and how good he was defensively we surely could have done with him in the centre where Rohan signed him for

| Quote: Smack him Jimmy "What ever happened to the rumour that Graham Lowe was in the Southeren Hemisphere getting players for us?
Was he actually just on holiday - and they put a spin on it to fool us fans?
Or are they still holding him as hostage while Toovey is up here?
Did he actually get any players?
Other than Phoenix - who never actually materialised (never mind rose from the ashes) - what did Mr Lowe do down there?'"
TBH I'm 99% sure Lowe has next to nothing to do with running the club. His health problems mean he's based down under and I doubt he's got anyone "lined up". He's been out of the game for too long. When he was last involved in RL administration he promised big things at NZ Warriors but failed to deliver.

Back in Oct/Nov, Joseph was going to be 13 I thought, and he was also a decent back-up hooker as well.

This may have legs, as i seem to remember Reveready (who seems to have some sort of connection to the club) said we had signed to NZ props from French RU.
Not sure if we are ever going to see this bloody visa though! ![DEPRESSED icon_biggrin.gifEPRESSED:](images/smilies//a054.gif)

I'm not meaning to 'bag him', Bullseye. I mean, I fully appreciate the problems he's had (or would have had if he'd got his visa......), and my thoughts are actually nothing to do with this season. When the 'coalition of chaos' currently running the club turns into a 'Strong and Stable' leadership group, he may well turn out to be the super duper coach every seems to believe that he is, and indeed, let's hope so.
What I find hard to understand is, how we (the 'Royal' we, that is) whilst looking through his record, got the idea that he's somehow a great, top notch, proven coach, when to my mind I just can't see where that notion comes from.
