Fridays squad

Quote: TRB "This is the bit that I don't get. We all know that BJ was inconsistent, but I don't believe for a minute that it was all his fault - as we know HB's need a dominant pack to play well. However, just who are these weaker teams you speak of, and are these not the very ones where we hope to gain our slim pickings? No business should get rid of one of it's prime assetts without having something to replace it with, but here is the problem - JK didn't see BJ as an assett. On that basis we have released the player that many of us (me included) believed to be our most creative HB. I appreciate that JK's opinion is a million miles above mine, but for the life of me I cannot understand decisions such as this or, potentially, to bring in Semi as an 'exciting signing'.

If, as a club, the backdrop to BJ leaving is that we are throwing in the towel on SL, then perhaps I can understand it to some extent - and it's not as if the club can tell us that that is what they are doing as the season would collapse - it would also explain the thinking of signing a popular player on a short term fix contract. If however we are genuinely fighting to stay in SL, then some serious thinking needs to be done to ensure that decisions such as this are 3-dimensional, and not, as it would seem, just to suit the player or be a short term fix - unless that fix is genuine quality that can help us win 6 or 7 games from what's left of this season - if only to ensure that we appear competitive when measured against our rival clubs.

I regret that on the rugby side of things all things point to one division at this moment!
Whoever said Semi was the exiting signing JK was talking about.
