AL: "We gave him every opportunity last week but I feel he needed a bit more work in his legs. This week it’s the same situation, we’re giving him every chance to get in the squad."

Sounds like he is not match fit yet.

Makes sense because he's not played for months,maybe the home game with Worky.

General fitness can be gained in training (and helped by taking it easy in down time.) Match fitness can only be gained by time in the theatre of battle. A long slog up Mount Pleasant's slope would kill Bongser but might put minutes in Blake's legs. However, Batley are no pushovers on their own midden, so who would sacrifice a forward on the bench?

Nisbet did okay when played out of position and will surely be champing at the snaffle were mid-match reshuffles needed. Big call for Lammy though.

Bongser'll have that and actually see his debut - can't make Batley.

I come on here to see what is going on in the world of Leyth Rugby and for the odd bit of Lanky humour thrown in at times.
B&B, I haven’t heard a pitch been referred to as a “midden” since my old Dad passed away.
JD the “Blake Ferguson was in The Centurion” comment is a classic.

I’m trusting the fact that he has not appeared, is Lam doing his job and putting the best 17 on the field, and not just putting names on the sheet that look good. I am chomping at the bit to see him play but he has to be ready and worthy of the shirt on the day, and not given it on his reputation as a player. That said I expect him to have a big impact very shortly.

Midden - a dunghill or refuse heap. Sounds like a perfect description of "Mount Unpleasant"

Let’s hope he can stay sober long enough to make his debut this week
