And Craig Hall is a ready made and trained replacement with more skill, TBH.

agar hasn't let us down for 2010 regarding shrewd signings. i think it would be sensible to leave the space free, since filling it with an emergency signing always ends up being a bad idea. we have great number of youth players on the cusp of the first team squad so it would be a shame to hold them back another season...

if we need to sign mid-season then we are able to do so. plus, the depth of our squad is not tested or proven yet in SL, so leave it free for now...

Hall in the centre with Briscoe on the Wing.

As for Raynor......i was never fussed on him and he was injury prone...thanks for the memorys and a try at cardiff but the right decision AGAIN by the club.

His defence under the high ball is worse than Raynors, If he can sort that aspect of his game out then maybe.

Really? I'd say it pretty much clears up any mystery there might have been.

Its not always possible to say who you get stuff from or exactly what you know because then you never get to no owt! Oh you of little faith!!!

I don't expect any quick signings either, we will wait and see how it goes during the season and if we have need to bring players in IMHO

As for Gareth I wish him luck, although it aint been officially announced there has been little doubt for a few days now that it will be! I have some great memories of some great tries but he has been a silly lad off the field and perhaps he is the last of the cull, I don't think there will be too many tears shed amongst the staff myself. Plus with other considerations like April and his reoccurence of the toe infection injury, I think it is the right decision!

Good Luck Gareth and thanks for some good memories.

My only worry is that if Calderwood or Briscoe get injured then Hall will probably get moved to the wing and Turner to the centres but that does not do much for Hall tbh.

In fact will Turner start in the centres ahead of Hall? I hope not but I heard something along the lines about Turner being very impressive in training!

Yes he is a good player, but no he isn't the best British winger around.

I am sorry to see him go and he has provided us with a wealth of memories.

I would like to wish him luck for the future and I hope it all works out for him and his family. Its amazing how quick some people turn, get the knife out and forget the good times you brought. There seems an almost eager haste to slag players off and seek to justify getting rid of some players and ignoring others ( for the moment) .

Still thats the message boards for you and everyone has an opinion that are entitled to be listened too with respect.

Cheers Gaz....................

Glad he's gone. Keeping a proven criminal, violent thug at the club made us no better morally than the e across the river.
