I felt we already had enough in the backs when Mahe’s name was mentioned. It’s happened out of the blue really but right now our backs are playing some of our best running rugby ever.
So I felt it more important we bought a forward.
But my thoughts are irrelevant, Radford knows all the above and, importantly, knows much much more about who we have already signed yet to be announced, knows the bigger picture, our funding and our wider plan going forward.
It’s fun for us to speculate but in the end we are simply fans.
Radders has said that “we have signed ourselves a real star” so it’s a statement of intent to SL. So, as good as our three-quarters now look, he’s simply saying “your all good enough to play, I’ll just pick the best 4, so it’s up to you to get in.”
I have to back his judgement. It’s exciting times we are moving into.
With Radfords attitude to “having the best” we could find we are sat at the head of the top table with the very best, by right.
Long may it last.
We already have the best supporters and stadium, and coach, and Chairman. Let’s hope that soon we’ll have the best team too.
