Seriously though, season can't start soon enough now. Off season seems endless.

But we need a long off season to recover from the misery they made us suffer. However, like you (and I suspect many thousands more) I can't wait for it all to start again.

Hope springs eternal.

As my lad keeps singing "come on you ull" bless his cotton socks he's only been going for a couple of years hes not felt the pain fully yet lol

He didn't have a great year. But they knew he was leaving n totally changed how they used him. Mainly focused on their young back rows. Understandable tho.
I was talking to a coaching staff member at a christmas doo. Didn't bend his ear too much about rugby. I did ask tho who's looking good in training and who's he looking forward to seeing play himself. He answered within an instant "sika manu"

No Ellis until around 3. Unsurprising, but massive injury to recover from, hope they're risk-averse in deciding when to bring him back.

Lucky we are covered in that Area. Best ease him back as I think one more bad injury will finish him.Really hope he comes back as still one the best around imo
