In that case when Galea leaves lets go and get Iain Morrison back shall we?
Infact no we had better not as Iain Morrison is a better defender but he actually looks like he is going to break a tackle now and then.
In 2007,2008,2009,2010,2011 he made a total of 40 (Yes 40) tackle breaks now for a foward to make 0.48 tackle breaks per game is bloody awful.
Joel Clinton made an average of 0.59 BTW as an example in the past year and a half.
In 2007,2008,2009,2010,2011 he made a total of 11 (Yes 11) off loads now that is 0.13 per game.
Joel Clinton made an average of 0.56 BTW as an example in the past year and a half.
Im sorry that is not SL standard.

agree with you there

i've never rated him as a sl player, should have gone after the first year in sl. cheap on the cap and helping with the homegrown rules etc is one thing but there are better players who seem to be lower in the pecking order imo.

back up player maybe, regular 17 no

Personally think this thread is a lot of melodrama. We are 11 games into a 27 game season and haven't had a single round of the cup. I fully expect us to go on to make the play-offs and there is no reason we shouldn't progress to the latter stages of the cup.
We have our best players returning and the hardest run of games in the season over with.
In terms of a clear out, it's time Netherton was on his way and we need a quality winger and prop but we still have the spine of a very good team.
Give over with your knee jerk reactions.

Fair post - but to reach 8th we'd need ~13 wins. That'd mean winning 10 of the last 16 - to me that looks a distant prospect at the moment. However, if we could put a run of form together, [istarting now[/i, then I agree the season SL isn't a write-off yet. And hopefully the cup will offer some thrills.

Personally think we need a world class hooker. Fisher and Hodgson as good hookers (hodgson will get better with age) but i personally think most sides have a better starting hooker than us too

ATM we are making opposition hookers look better than they are by losing the ruck. We our pack get on top, Fisher and Hodgson look very good.

id love to see both our hookers running the ball more, when they do go from dummy half they seem to dither whilst looking for a gap, a top hooker has already seen that gap before the ball has been played. Hodgson IMO is now the better of the 2.

i'd let fish go and bring in a new hooker in. i agree hodgson is the better hooker but feel we aren't great in this area which is a main pivot of any side

really?

Did anyone watch Andy Ellis today and wonder if that letting him go was a mistake?

I know one person who does, but that same person thinks all our ex players should still be here palying for 10p a week to keep us under the cap

Said at the time it was very disappointing to lose him but I believe he left to persue further education. Could be wrong, mind.
He was a promising young player who looks to be fulfilling that promise. Do all we can to bring him back, I say.

No, Not once
