Is that not 16 Stone There is 14 pounds in a stone

And Elima .... Yeah thats just what we need another second rower !

I'd have Elima over Mellars and Southern any day!

We have enough second rowers and Mellars won't be with us next season.

Do we?

Southern won't be back at a guess, Ali can only go downhill - so there's two that may need replacing. In which case Ollie looks a good buy.

Might be worth waiting to see what happens to Bulls if go into admin. It won't be a quick process so to me we should do exactly what's been done to us in the past.

It will.

If they do go into admin, Mr Caisley will have a pre-pack company ready and waiting to bring them back out the following day.

It's almost impossible to see a fire-sale at the Bulls - their situation is totally different to ours.

Am I missing something with regards Mellars? I thought he was here on a three year deal?

I can't see how that can happen Caisley wouldn't have any control on the administrative decisions,
he may be able to put a package in but that wouldn't guarantee that some of the more lucrative players sold off separately

God I hope not !!! The guy couldn't score in a brothel.

He signed a three year deal, so unless we are going to pay him off I'd have thought we were stuck with him.

Seem to remember when we lost Murphy and George a few on here said it did not matter, seeing that we replaced them with better, still waiting to see these better players mind.

Because if they do go into admin, it will be by choice and will be carefully controlled and timed so that Newco is ready to take over the following day; we were forced into administration and looked dead set for the chop, so our players were making new deals before the administrator had even been appointed.

Totally different situation at the Bulls - the only players that become free agents in their period of administration will be ones they want to get rid of; there will be no fire sale.

Bulls may have a significantly reduced budget so there may be the odd forward bargain going as they will need to cut back even with a new company set up. We don't just want their cast offs though who couldn't make their 17 as people have said previously it must be QUALITY not QUANTITY. Tom Burgess for WTW!!!
