Maybe not, but I'd agree with others that it's only an up yours if he picks Broughton ahead of him. At the moment it's fair to say we are in need of both.

Ah right, I mis-read it.

In that case the squad list needs updating - mods, over to you.

i would love to see craig hall play on friday alongside jodie broughton,but somehow i can't see it happening.i think jodie would prefer to play rugby next year,so i i think if we were to offer him a deal he would take it rather than go to the day job that he has trained for.i also don't think he would command too much,salary wise.good back-up to raynor and calderwood.

Nowt wrong with it - it says he's signed up until the end of 2010, which he is.

Apologies, the language in the article is a bit unclear, the "signed up until the end of the 2010 season" could have done with an "is now" before it.

I'd like to see them in the same side, but if by alongside each other you mean on the same side of the pitch I'd be terrified.

Not looking at this weeks squad its not.

Important word, Squad.

I hope I am wrong and Hall plays, and I hope he has a blinder.

Either way Hall is in and Broughton isn't, that was my point in connection with your comment.

Yeah, I understood that Paul.

Seems odd to me, keeping a loan player but not playing them.

Only guess I could make is as cover and also a chance to look at him further and then decide whether or not to keep him?

Quite

"Hi Jodie, would you like to stay on loan with us for the rest of this year at least?"

"Yes please!"

"Great, you're dropped for Friday"
