Final piece in the jigsaw for 2021. Well done everyone concerned, a great addition. Hope it allows Tanginoa to play in his natural position in the 2nd row.

Yeah Cheshire cat, this coming season may be a repeat of last season when losing players with covid, now Leeds & giants
Have a close down to grounds/stadiums etc + players isolating !
A team this year could could be in relegation due to too many lost games with players isolated again & then again.
Vaccinations of people will not stop transmission, it only protects the herd, it will be a long time before 20 to 30 yrs
Get a vaccine !
One has to remember other older people run & operate clubs, day to day !

I’m delighted not just because Eddie is a first class player but because of the effect I believe he will have on another first class player.

Despite only playing for us for half a season Battye quickly became a fan’s favourite. Dave won’t like that’s after years as the top of the props.

I think this is a good thing, players like Dave love the limelight but they also need to be pushed. Dave will not want to be compared badly with Battye.

Job done, two for the price of one.

I tend to worry (in my own head) that Dave's attitude might be the opposite to the reaction you mention above, but I hope that you are right on this one.

Good signing for me by the club, a good solid forward that we know exactly what we are getting from which is a big advantage over bringing someone else in.
