i never said he wasn't a good player, he just isn't a blockbusting type of prop, he tends to run in pretty slowly and try the offload (which in his time here we have NEVER backed up) this isn't his fault it's just that we have never used him for the kind of game he plays. what most people are after is a foil for this type of player i.e. one who runs the ball in strongly and gets the opposition on the back foot

Even going with the kids we are still short of 1 out and out prop, Ostick is going fantastic at the moment and then we have Gannon and Kavangh, Thomson has a slight knock i believe but should be back soon. I still think we have a little money left and it should be used on a prop like leafa.

We have also blooded plenty of youth thus far in Flynn, Ostick, Simm, Grady, Yates.

We don't have an ugly, in your face, rip your head off type of prop - a Relf, Kurt, O'Connor, Morley, Webke type of player (style not ability obviously i don't expect a Webke type to be playin in NLC!! ) to compliment what we have already, to beat the likes of fax i think we'll need this...

But I'd forgotten about Bannister who if fit would have probably been 1st choice 2nd row and forced Doran up to the front... Whether or not that would have changed what is the general feeling that we are light up front I don't know??

But now we have started the season it's doubtful we'll get one and will prob have to settle for a loaner instead??

Anyway i'm much happier than last week after tonights game !

SAT NIGHT RUGBY FTW !!
