Quote: Bulliac "Just got an email saying the Bulls are giving trials to Dean Caprice, who has played 'sevens' for England, calling him a 'utility player'. I guess as a union player his position might be more open than normal.'"



Think you mean DAN caprice. Seems to have moved around a fair bit. played premiership for london welsh and had stints at biaritz and in new zealand. looks quick enough on sevens highlights. Interesting.

Yeah, that's the guy. Don't if I misread it or it was just a typo....it doesn't it actually say what his position was in union, though I'd guess in the backs as sevens player.

No, I can't forget this evening
When I heard that you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes, it shows

No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When we had you there, but then we let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know

You're OK on defence, but disappointingly ineffective in attack.

Winger or fullback, according to his Wiki. Which is where I got my entire knowledge of him since I found out this morning haha.

Been looking at highlights of him on youtube. I know these are heavily selected from many hours of footage but what there is suggests he's a winger, good feet and quick to return the ball up.

Bulls might see him as a full back and try and use him to find the gaps, similar to how Mullaney was utilised.

Well certainly has some pace and good foot work. Represented England a lot in the 7's so much be quick and agile. Be interesting to see how he goes. No lose situation really.

Please not another "maybe" player. We need proven quality not more utility players.

I know how easy it is to make a player look good in some youtube highlights, so I'm not getting carried away here. But damn that guy has got a highlights reel to be proud of. Looks to have some serious agility and pace, with a cracking sidestep. Could cause mayhem if we put him in space.

The only thing I can't tell is how old some of those highlights are. If they're all 3 or 4 years old then it could be misleading.

Edit: Also, isn't there some sort of salary cap dispensation for signing rugby union players? I'm pretty sure there is for SL sides, not sure about championship though.

Quote: woolly07 "Please not another "maybe" player. We need proven quality not more utility players.'"



Agreed but all the quality players are likely signed up by now. I think giving trial is a better way to go than last year where we were stuck with 2 year deals.

If Jacks and Caprice go well, then we sign them up. If they turn out not to be good, we don't sign them and leave space in the cap to spend later in the season.

I say we go with what we've got (as it stands our squad isn't good enough to get promoted) but it is likely players will become available later in the year. We will make more signings later in the year.

I will be annoyed however if we sign championship standard/maybe players later in the year.

I wonder if Robbie showed him the Bulls own 7's heritage? Middlesex 7's 2002 icon_biggrin.gif

I've seen the guy live... He was always one of the quickest on the field, pretty solid defensively as well. Learning how to read the game of league will be the challenge.

I disagree that the side is not good enough to get promoted. We're missing only 3 players who played in the MPG, all of which were absent or not yet signed for the majority of the season. My concern is with the coach who doesn't seem to know how to get the best out of his players on a consistent basis. Not just on a week by week but for a whole game. I think that the best signing we could have made in the off-season was a replacement for Lowes.
