Rinaldi's distribution impressed me. His passing is crisp and on target. Also it was interesting to see how the team improved yesterday when he came on. Suddenly we had a dummy half who seemed intent to play with his teammates rather than do his own thing every 5 mins.

I rate Newton but he does go awol from the gameplan at times and starts trying to do too much.

I think if poss Rinaldi should get a deal to take him to the end of the season, if only as cover for Deacon.

Get him signed. Gradually bringing more to the team IMO.

I'd be looking to get rid of Godwin and keep the Newtonator and our Gallic friend as our no 1 hooking combo.

The Frenchman made some shocking decisions, but the one with the whistle, not Rinaldi

Don't worry, Mick will bring it up just as soon as he's online.

There as bad as merry flag wavers.

That frenchie ref is the worst though, all he does is shout 'mooove, mooove'. I do not like Silverwood very much. Ganson has gone up in my estimation since Gansongate but not much.

Bentham, Alibert and Ganson are bad.

Smith, Silverwood, Thaler are ok.

Is the fantastic Frenchman available V wire?

If you listen to him during any game with a player called "Danny" involved, you'll also find he has a particular soft spot for that name. He pronounces it "Danneeeeee" and shouts it every few seconds.

We don't know France have yet to announce their team but he is in the squad.

If he is that's 80 minutes for Newton again. With him and Burgess gone that'll probably mean Crossley or Whitehead will get in the squad.

rlNo he isn't.rl

That's good news.

Maybe Crossley will be included then? We can't go into a match with 3 props, unless Macca plans to move Langley during subs then put Morro/Menzies at LF.

But not on the pitch obviously...
