Why not Green for hanging on too Cummins amd Lowes too long get rid of him.

was that Joe Keyes with the other players near the dugouts at the end of the game?

I think it was Keyes, I saw him and wondered who it was and after a quick Google search it did look like him. Ironic when we are all but out of 8's we sign a scrum half!!!!

I thought so, I suspect this will be announced very shortly, agree about the timing though, hopefully it's not too late

Yep.

Keyes as signed, he's a stand off. Although 6 and 7 are not too different these days

3/4/6/7/11/12 they're all the same if you refer to our recruitment policy..

Keyes on 3yr deal until end of 2019

Good news

Sounds like he could be a handy player for the future, though I understand he hasnt played much this year so it's a tough ask for him to offer much impact for this season I would of thought.

Only seen him once and that was for London against Dews this time last year.
Remember him being a stand out player then; took the line on well and always looked like a threat. Granted thats only one match but I was alwasys surprised he didnt get more game time.
By all accounts he had a couple of great games in SL when he first hit the scene, and also is someone known to Rohan from his time with London. Maybe he's just another of these lads that needs a bit of confidence and consistency.
Speaking of which; Oscar Thomas?? Surely he should have been in alongside Charnock yesterday?

I couldn't understand why Addy was chosen ahead of Thomas. Our attack completely broke down due to Addy being such a slow passer.I feel like i've aged 5 years in the time it takes him to do an inside pass. It's almost like it's in slow motion.

Thomas is raw and isn't the finished article. But his passing is much quicker which would have sped our attack up. Also he would have shared the kicking duties with Charnock, making it harder to defend against. Rather than Addy who decided to do it all him self with average results at best.

According to gledhill Thomas is only about 85% recovered from a groin injury. Seems odd he was fit enough to be water carrier but not to play. Even at 85% he'd have offered more speed of thought and kicking options than Addy.

At this point, I stopped reading.

85% lol. Classic Gledhill
