Clawson and Dickens certainly joined us when Agar did. Gilmour joined the coaching staff when he retired in 2014.

You hit the nail on the head .In 2015 Smith ad to bring in is own conditioner to get us fit and save us going down in the million pound game ,they are still hear .

Fifita, Arona, Miller, Johnstone, Green, Tangata and possibly Ashurst all in contention this week with Liam Kay and Eddie Battye out through injury.

Be an interesting squad tomorrow....

Can only be a good thing getting players back and a bit more competition for places...

From an article in the YEP...interesting point made from CC too that for the first time in a long time was able to do a proper 13 v 13 in training Monday and a real lift in intensity from previous weeks...make of that what you will...

I hope we go in with both Woods, gonna be doing a lot of defending I imagine

If not a win on fri I’m expecting/hoping for a positive reaction from the team and to prove to us sceptics that we aren’t a basket case.It would be unfair of me to tar the whole team with the same brush as quite a few of the players are busting a gut but our game just seems out of kilter for want of a better word .Some trying too hard some sitting back and some with issues all in the mix .All I ask is to see the team collectively rolling its sleeves up and having a dig ,can’t ask for anymore at this stage ,but it’s a big ask .

If both Woods in for they tackling ,that two of the smallest players in the team .sums up were we are.

Close,but no cigar.

The point being you don’t want them doing 80minutes.
He’ll prob put Crowther there for a spell. Bit harsh on JW and Jowitt for that matter, but then we know Gigot excites Chester

If Gigot excities Mr Chester he must be easy pleased he as not done anything 3 other players could not do looks like a nother played who is here for a final pay out

I’m not gonna write him off just yet because I have seen him do some fantastic things for Catalan. But I only see em play 3/4 times a season so maybe he’s very inconsistent who knows. But he deserves his chance given we’ve only just signed him, not his fault it looks like an odd choice given the make up of the squad

Gigot, so far, has been disappointing and he seems to give a few penalties away too.
Having said that, any settled HB pairing will be better than the weekly shuffle that we've had for the last 8 games.

It’s gone on longer than 8 games, more like since the start of last season, forced or otherwise. Example, last year we saw Hampshire move from FB, to wing, to HB. This year we’ve seen Jowitt move from HB, to wing, to FB.

I

We should try that with Tom.....
