So, after last season where everybody became a back rower, this season everyone's going to become a prop.
We really need a specialist backs coach.
Good to see Taylor signing a new deal.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Another class act that guy, though Justin's made more good decisions then bad ones, I think Jon and Tangles are perhaps two who should have been kept, e.g. Tangles was way better then Mills, and Goddard I feel would have been more reliable overall then Webster.
"The Mail understands..." NOTHING!

Tbf I reckon Charlie should be playing there anyway - a derby game is a bit of a high-pressure match to make your return in after so long off surely?

Wasn't there some sort of question mark over Tangata-Toa's attitude? I did think we should have kept him, came on leaps and bounds in his last season.
When we released Goddard I thought it was a mistake, he struggled in attack in his one SL season but was defensively solid, I felt he had more development in him. However, since going to 'Fax he's mostly been injured and I don't think has played at all this year so with hindsight I'd say it was the correct call to release him.

I thought Tangles went due to him being Quota and we needed them for other positions, similar with Dyer.
TBF not heard what Tangles is doing nowadays so he can;t have been that good if no one now wants him.

You're probably right, I'll be thinking of someone else, no doubt from another team!
Edit; Here he is.

Is that Oz's version of NL2 or is more like playing for East Hull, either way he's hardly playing elite level rugby so the decision to let him go was probably correct in hindsight.

Yeah you're prob both right guys, I guess the test when someone leaves is what they do afterwards, and tbf to Justin most the players we've released haven't gone on to better things really (apart from maybe the likes of Ellis and Mariano it could be claimed perhaps).

No idea, I think I've heard of it but it doesn't sound very good does it.

And Misili Manu, what a player he turned out to be!
