Lynch aside, (great signing) AP has done nothing to our playing rosta to match his inspirational rhetoric.

I'd agree, but most of the signings were already made for next year anyway. I too would rather have signed no one than Martin, but don't believe he'll keep another player out if they are playing better than he is. I think it's a waste of cap space, I don't like us signing yet another 'off quota' Aussie. That said, we should really judge the recruitment next year when Gentle has a little more room to manipulate the cap to his best advantage.

Did he and sharp ever play together at Harlequins?

Sharp wasn't born when Martin was playing in London.

'As well' is two words and, if you're going to use such a term, there should be a comma before retard.

Our new centre isn't that old.

Cant say I have ever really watched this guy play BUT he scored a handful of tries last season putting him easily in the top 6-7 centres in the league behind the likes of King Yeamo etc...that was in a crappy team like Cru Cru.Crucified!!!!!....surely he is deserving of a chance....24 games too so not injury prone!!!!!!

Our recruitment after the signing of Lynch didn't have to be that substantial really. A quality right centre and a backrower would have been great. I honestly don't see what this signing achieves and it also provides a serious reality check for the fans.

The statement of intent and "wait till October/November" rhetoric has not yet been matched with recruitment and McCrae's 100% control is starting to worry me.

Is "Rhetoric" your new favourite word?

Wait til marfa finds out about this, she'll be switching sides again
