No straw damn us wrote:Bowen has missed about four games this season, but as you say he was very good yesterday. I would take him on a one, or two year deal, providing we do due diligence on his fitness. He wouldn't have to play every game if he came over and would be a good mentor for the likes of Tierney, Hampshire and Burgess.
Why do people assume experienced players are automatically going to be good mentors for junior players?
It might just not be in Bowen's nature to be a teacher.
If he comes it will probably be for a couple of years and he may just enjoy his time here playing the game and then go home. That is it.
Been thinking that as well Dave. Mentors are not always the oldest players around. Best mentor any FB could have is Rads.

I don't think anyone is suggesting he would sit our younger players down in front of a chalkboard and set them modules Dave.
Used to be called blackboards in my day. Then the term was deemed racist!
And rightly so
Why Rightly so? A blackboard is black, is it not. Do people not call whiteboards that any more, because it's deemed racist against whites. The whole pc culture has gone mad. It's the colour of an object, not a racist slur, get a grip!!

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
