heard the french half back looked good

Yeah he controlled the game well, talked to Clubby after the game about him, hes saying hes here for another 6 months on trail, hes training with the first team, "one heck of a good player" was his words, he speaks no english, Mbu translates for him. The club can then sign him permantly at the end of the season if they wish, Clubb said that he seemed to get along well with Brian.
Lamont looked quite good yesterday aswell, he scored twice, made some darting runs.
O'Callaghan had a very good game at fullback imo, quick, broke a few tackles, (iirc, scored directly from the kick off).
Gale looked decent, quick at hooker, Skee wasn't a standout performer,
Some ginger kid, i dont know who he is seemed quite good also, Centre.
I think it was Luke May that was playing on the other Centre, and was quite good also.

Agree it's puzzling, but it may be something to do with his age. If he's young enough (don't know how young) he can be counted as coming through our youth programme. Think the same applies to Skee who is an Aussie.

Skee looks good when I have seen him (and he can count as Polish - Dilanski - so he must be off quota).

Tony Gigot is the young French player, i saw him play in Australia for France juniors last year and he was very impressive then.

Skee has great variety in his kicking and passing game.
