Whilst JB does frustrate at times he does seem to have calmed his temper and I think he does bring 2 things to the table:
team spirit in abundance and he tackles hard whilst nearly always taking 2-3 men to bring down. H e had a massive hit out in Swinton (during the 20mins he played) whereby he looked like he had been really smashed hard only for him to get up laughing whilst the Swinton tacklers looked shell shocked...

Not sure I have ever seen Jack as lazy - dare say he struggles with playing for spells longer than 20 mins - but he seems to be the main player since Cookie left for geeing the team up... Again creates a lot of tries...IMO

Have to say i disagree about jack. I think hes getting lazier as the season progresses and really dont think he brings much to the team at the moment. Emmet has been making a huge difference when hes come on the pitch and kesik always made a massive impact when replacing jack. The team often seem to struggle when ely is control of the game.

Really pleased with that result in South Wales, well done to all the players and coaching team and the lads and lasses who travelled to support. Can I just add my two penneth on the Jamie Bovill issue. I have had my doubts and there have been times when he's hit the tacklers and gone down like an extra in Paths of Glory, but he does cause problems when he's on song and he can put a biff in.

When TM marched across the pitch at Rochdale to his vantage point on the other side, I had to do a double take because for the life of me I could have sworn that JB who was with him was a young Karl Harrison. Cue abuse

Cookie will be available next season - do you think there's a chance he could return ? been brilliant for TO13 this season,despite the c**p coach....
