Exactly what i was thinking Psycho :thum:

goulding is good and all but he is still young talent. ship out David Vaealiki back to god knows were, and get mcavoy to sign a two year deal. him and richards are similar in size and are playing good together when they are paired up. nothing gets past their side when they pair up, its dallas/vaealiki or calderwood/vaealiki that gets attacked more. next season put bailey with calderwood and sign mcavoy for another year or two, he seems decent and is better than david vaealiki. there you have a good back line of ashton,calderwood,bailey,mcavoy and richards. lets not put richards back in the centres because you have seen how deadly he is on the wing now and he should stay there. he is a proven try scorer there (wests and here this season) and nobby is keen on the idea of letting him stay there.

Just take a look at where Nobby puts him when Calderwood comes back?

Nobby has played him knowhere except the wing and if Calderwood shows any form at all Dallas is benched.

McAvoy is not good enough to start week in week out.

if i could get any centre for next year i'd get Adam MacDougall (south sydney) i'd offer fletch a coaching role as he is past it imo and he is'nt a top quality quota player.

Not more crap from the bargain basement of the NRL!!!!!

What has Fletcher done to deserve a coaching role??

I think he is referring to the fact that they have only played one game together as a combination (the Cas game) and nothing got through their side of defence.

Even worse then.

McAvoy was not considered good enough for Salford or Leeds, has one game with Richards and is deemed solid enough for a 2 yr deal.

Bonkers!

Bath have won the race to sign rugby league star Chev Walker from Super League side Leeds Rhinos, after the 23-year-old decided to switch codes in search of a new challenge.

Walker turned down the chance to sign a new contract at Headingley and it was expected that the Leeds centre would move Down Under to join the NRL.

However, Walker has now decided to remain in Britain and try his hand at rugby union, following in the footsteps of Jason Robinson and Andy Farrell.

Walker will now move to The Rec in November following the end of the Super League season, and he already has his sights set on making an immediate impact on the 15-man code.

"After eight seasons with Leeds Rhinos it is time for a new challenge, with the end of my Rhinos contract coinciding with my 24th birthday," Walker told Bath's website.

"Rugby union offers a new stage club and potentially international level. Having decided to switch codes, Bath rugby offers the promise of an exciting brand of rugby at a traditional union club with a great heritage.

"England coach Andy Robinson and Brian Ashton, as the then Bath rugby coach, have become inspirational mentors and I look forward to working with them in the England camp as well as the new coaching staff at Bath the rest of the Bath rugby squad."

After making his debut at the age of 16, things have not always gone right for Walker and he spent time in prison in 2003, but he has turned things around since then.

Walker has made eight appearances for Great Britain and featured in the Challenge Cup finals in 2003 and 2005, winning the Grand Final in 2004 and the World Club Challenge in 2005.

Bath director of rugby Jack Rowell says that Walker will be a great addition to the squad and has all the attributes to be a success.

"Chev is a young player with proven skills in the cauldron of Super League and he has also represented Great Britain," added Rowell.

"He has made a strong impact in rugby league and is now coming to rugby union. He is a quick, powerful and skilful player who will reinforce the Bath rugby back line.

"He is joining a great club in Bath rugby and he will have one eye on translating his talents onto the international field with England. However patience will be needed with Chev as it will take time for him to adapt to rugby union, as other players who have crossed between the codes have shown."

Bath, who first brought World Cup-winner Robinson from rugby league, added that the deal had been achieved in 'cooperation with the RFU'.

I will give chev maximum two seasons in the kick and clap routine before he reolises his mistake.

lets hope and pray that Vaeliki retires with him
