For the last paragraph alone, the post of the day.
Doro, Thewlis and Dean must be so frustrated. If Price stays beyond November, they might as well chuck in a transfer request, as they're going nowhere, here.
As for Jason Clark, Price is justifying his overseas spot by playing him.
Mr Beige

I don't think Johnson will be here after next year to be honest, 3rd season with us and very very little progression. But he's not had much game time and with the reserves not happening and dual reg off he's not had much chance. I agree i think he is a second rower being forced in to the prop position which i think is mainly down to the S#!te forwards we've signed for about 7 years now.
I don't get why we find it so hard to sign a decent prop, i know some have Potential but it never pays off.
Kibula if he put some actual effort in to his go forward (seeing as he is a forward) and not seemingly relying on his size and weight, he could do some damage. Liam watts is a similar size and shape and look at him go.
Doro i like mainly for his aggression and go forward, yeah he's not a big guy but he throws everything in to his runs and tackles like a truck. He's very young still and i think he'll be a gem of a forward, Philbin isn't a big prop and look at him.
BMM as a rotational prop is a great idea and i fully agree, stop playing Clark at prop and get BMM in there. Does anyone know what his injury is/ was and will he be back for Catalans does anyone know?

Pretty sure Johnson is still only 21 though and he is a decent player I think he has a lot of potential. He's probably been the main loser in the Luther burrell experiment which in hindsight is a real shame for him.

Yeah he is very young, i'd like him to get more game time as he's played a few this year and for me has looked better every game. Next year is his last year with us so it will be a shame for him to not get game time to help his progression and to give him a shot at earning a new contract.
