Exciting talent - I think he should be a regular starter on the right side.

If there’s one thing we all can credit Lam on, it’s the blooding of our youngsters

Fine line between blooding and flogging them. He will leave here having chicken plenty of debuts out to young forwards in fairness and that’s positive but I just hope he hasn’t set guys like Partington, Smithies, Havard and Byrne back too far by the weekly batterings they have to take, whilst guys like Clubb and Bullock get away with ten minute stunts.

His brother plays for Sarries (or at least I think he does), so that's prob favourite.

Definitely the type of player that would go well in Aus too.

Does he have two brothers then? I know one plays for London Broncos.

I agree, it's clucking madness. if we put all our eggs in that basket then we are clucked.

I think Smithies and Partington are already burned out they do nothing going forward all they are are tackling machines and cant burst a paper in attack.

It’s why my phone would predict I would put the word chicken at that point that confuses me

Really?

Its been forced on him on the majority of occasions.

Re: Kai Pearce Paul : Fri Jun 25, 2021 9:27 am  

It's been forced on him because of how shocking our recruitment has been in the last few years.

Out of the players we've brought in since 2018, probably 3 of them have had any impact (Hardaker, Bibby, Hastings).

Since 2019 (and excluding G.Burgess) we've also had 5 or 6 props leave and only 2 signed.


2018
In - Hamlin

2019
In - Bullock, Hardaker, Sammut
Out - Bateman, Sutton, Tomkins

2020
In - Bibby, G.Burgess, Clark, Hastings
Out - Sarginson, Williams, Hamlin

2021
In - Bateman, Field
Out - G.Burgess, J.Burgess, Escare, Wells, Rushton, Flower, O'Loughlin, Hankinson (kind of)

Has French been here since before 2018? What about Singleton?
