I think Abe Forman mentioned two front rowers being the available front rowers before Bullock’s contract was extended.

Let’s assume these were Jack Brown and Sam Luckley seeking six figure per year contracts. Would Philbin be such a bad option then?

Not the first one to make that comment, after my injury.. be back on the pitch before I know it..

He might well know what he wants from a prop, but things have gone west with Bullock more times than I can count on one hand.
I question why we gave him a new contract.
He was on a heft contract to pluck him from Wigan, not sure he’s repaid a threepence of it yet.

and yet, you've never been as harsh with him as you have with vaughan

I’m not harsh on Vaughan, I’m disappointed with Vaughan.

Unquestionably talented. Solid performer…

But I sigh at his ability to always find the softest of penalties to find himself enjoying the holidays out of term time.

I’ve never understood the phrase “doubling down”. Can someone give me an example?
