Quote: TRB "Gee Vasty - you can be so 'bombastic' at times. The bit about Ben Shulver was 'in your opinion'! I thought he went well, but not to the extent you suggest.
I liked the look of young Maskill and agree that Liam Kay went well - IMO.
Wildie and Wood were a mixed bag - which is disappointing when you consider the experience at SL level.
Malloy needs game time, but looked sharp and took his chances well - but so did Trout!
Agree ref Cowling and Walshaw.'"
I know, but seeing as recently everyone and by that I mean everyone else has decided they are coach of the century why shouldn't I do the same.
You seemed very "bombastic" about Ellis going being a mistake and Aiton not being a good hooker - your opinion and I respect it, hell you may even be right. Or is it not "bombastic" from you? I'm certain Shulver will make it and I have a decent track record on this "bombastic" though it may appear. In 25 years I've got it badly wrong twice, Kieran Allen and Mark Field.
I got it spectacularly right when everyone else yourself included were being very "bombastic" about Westerman being the British Brad Fitler.
I said he was ordinary and he is so I'll back myself on Shulver as I see no reason why he couldn't be challenging for a first team place in a few years time. If that's bombastic by backing a lad then I'm not sure why we have a junior set up at all
I've clearly upset you, why I have no idea but it certainly wasn't intended. However much as I have no wish to annoy you I will continue to express my opinion no matter how giddy they may appear - thanks.
