Two great creative halves with an attacking style will sort this but we also have to get forwards with real go forward also( injuries havent helped).This isnt helped by our hookers and is why we have signed leeming imo
Well people turned on O'Neil quickly :lol:

I never said i dont rate oneill i stated its why we signed leeming imo.Obviously matty is replacing one of them as we cant have 3.They both offer different things so matty obviously is going for something different

Then you change the plan to match the better players . Or is Peet incapable of doing do?

What would he do with Offiah? Play him at six because Miski is a better battering ram running the ball out of defence?

I 100% agree with putting French back on the wing, but not sure on Cust at 6. His arms shot atm and is struggling to tackle. But if its games that will fix that problem then maybe we just have to persist or try Hampshire again.

Hampshire has been a so far at least a bloody daft signing you don't sign players who have a brutal injury such as he had,not in a salary capped sport that's for sure

And not play them!
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

Exactly Josie it's madness that players,and I know it seems I'm picking on Hampshire but this ridiculous policy of signing players who aren't match ready is bordering on the bizzare to me you need players match ready for seasons starting not more than halfway through the season it's a waste of the cap to me

Two very bad signings, in Hampshire and Thornley, they weren't good enough the first time round, so why re-sign them.
Hopefully Radlinski has learned a lesson, after these signings and the George Burgess fiasco.
Signings, so far, for next season looking good, just need a centre to replace King, a great No. 6 and a big enforcer of a Prop.

Just a thought, could Kelvin Skerrett put a pair of boots on again, he would probably be better than our props, other than Havard :lol:

Can Miski play centre when King goes?-
