Hopefully Sunday will have put him off.., Cashmere was awful...
Although i have seen him have decent spells, the same can be said of Clinton and it looks that Cashmere has a heart as big as Clintons i.e the size of a pea....
Given Rovers record with props we are probably going to give him £120,000 a year...
Still irritates me we could have had Carvell for less than we are paying messrs Vella and Clinton..., Morgans signing and contract "skills" have screwed us for a while to come...

Who do you think we should be targeting Lazza?
From the players available, I really haven't a clue, Vella's got to go though, thanks and all that, done a good job for us but it's time to stick the fork in.
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.

Got to agree with all that, our recruitment of front rowers has been shocking especially when you consider Morgan was one.

Big problem is who should we go for?
Bailey and Coley are OOC, certainly spice things up for 2012

At the age of 32 by the beginning of next season he may be considered to old to be offered a contract especialy as he would probably insist on at least a two year one, people are saying Vella is past it at around the same age, it wouldn't make much sense imo.

Vella is not a crash and bang prop, he has relied on skill and pace during his career (was a centre at one point), so once those attributes begin to go its hard for him to carry on.
