| I know some of the Under 16's at Bulls, played alongside and against many of them. The right ones got the scholarships. Curtis Naughton (fullback) absolutly class if he can carry on the way he's going he will be in an England shirt by the age of 21. Goalkicker too. Alex Mellor (2nd row/LF) big strong unit but I aint seen too many games of hs to comment further although from good sources he's a class player too. Adam Brook (halfback) he could turn out to be a real find. Nathan Conroy (hooker) played with him from U8's - U13's, played against him a few week ago, great attitude and always looking to take line on, more in the Diskin mould than Strangers.

| What happened to that Jack Cockerham, wasn't he supposed to be a potential big shot?

As long as you don't stand on the fork, it doesn't matter

If you make the mistake of trying and go down both forks at once, then you have achieved fork all...

Agree Ethan in that Lynch is no leader and for mine it has to be one of Heath, Disko, Kearney.
I'll also add that bringing in quality over quantity is key for next season with the new signings looking like improvements on the players they will end up replacing.
While I think a mass clearout will have a detrimental effect on the team (we really do need some stability) and overall focus for next year, we must be honest in that we are carrying a lot of dead wood at present and to progress forward we need get shut of it.
I'm so bloody upset at what we saw today, #### sake.

Apart from Heath, Kearney, Whitehead & Koppy there are no players I would be absolutely gutted to see leave atm. Raynor and Burgess are close too.
I too would like to see some stability, but thats hard when there's so much e in the squad. There are 2 things we lack desperately - leadership and quality. I hope we address this with the rest of the signings.
We have no shortage of hard workers (although todays performance contradicts that) and we are strong in certain areas (hooker, second row) But I still think we really lack quality in the outside backs, halves and at 13. Hopefull Donno and Addy can help at loose, but I would be excited with the signing of a creative 13.

What do you think of Rob Hawthorne ? he looks a good player to me but must be gutted the Bulls have signed two very average overseas centres for next season.

Or be realistic that once he's made his debut he'll probably feature 3 or 4 times (more if circumstance favours him and he grasps the opportunity)
