You see, Kieran Hyde's always been an interesting one for me, he always seems to have great games for the academy when I watch (not overly often I admit), and I thought he might have had a chance by now. Surely there's only so long you can play in the academy.

Back to the old Noble problem of not giving them a chance. I Know he's been injured but when fit he's certainly deserved a chance in place of the under performing Deacon.

Indeed, although I honestly cannot see Paul Deacon being dropped, can you?

No. But there's not many people who think he shouldn't be. What is he offering us at the moment?

Hadn't heard Tate's name thrown in there yet, haven't seen much of him either. I hope we get to see Hyde as imo it's the backs that need dropping more than the forwards.

I only mentioned Andy Tate because he's one of the full timers.

Ah I see..... What do you recon the odds are for Hyde even getting in the 19?

Again, I think this might be a little bit harsh. He's no Ian Henderson, that goes without saying, but he's a solid replacement hooker, and has served the Bulls fairly decently, without admittedly settting the world alight.

Sorry but I just can't agree on Godwin. He's nothing more than average he's a headless chicken type player.

If he's competing against Deacon for a place in the side, probably about 0.0001%.

Ok, you're entitled to your opinion. But the problem is, there aren't an abundance of replacement hookers around, especially that the Bulls could realistically recruit, in fact you could generalise it to hookers overall.

That's whats staggering me about people wanting rid of Newton, lets see where we are in reference to hookers in a years time and see if you'd want Newton back, I know I certainly don't want Newton to leave, I'd make him captain!

He is a lightning conductor for head injuries, thereby reducing the chances of his teammates getting one
