i think it’s pretty obvious what we are doing - blooding a youthful and passionate nucleus of a squad with a sprinkling of experience such as webster and flanagan, to help protect and nurture the young talent.

when the time comes that a shot at promotion is likely and realistic (which completely depends on when toronto go up, and who comes
down - (eg. someone like london who will spend within their means and it won’t be a cash p*ssing contest)), then i think we will see two or three big money signings coming in to actually have a real go at promotion. one would hope that by then the young players we have are battle hardened, more experienced, and ready for a real tussle.

until then (and this for me is the depressing part and makes me not want to chuck out the £23 every weekend), we will be watching a young squad learning and growing together which will chuck out some inconsistency.

And the said Athletics would also include a spam javelin one would hope.

Spam javelin? Isn't that in Rogers's Profanisaurus?

Good to know there's someone else who had the same misspent youth growing up with Viz.

Personally I was on the edge of my seat the entire game and really enjoyed it, however my heart sank when in the last ten mins when we were in front we had Crossley, Kirk and minchella in the middle - it was always going to end badly. Every team targets Crossley, he cant get off the floor after he’s tackled someone and his defensive reads are dire! I knew what was going to happen before they ran through him. Minchella needs to be kept at second row as it’s his best position. Saying that I enjoyed the game

Partial to a post fart quip personally.

A bit more choke and she'd have started
