Release Hoy asap if he's breached club disciple rules , go with Smith, Brown and Trueman in the halves for the rest of the season and try bring in a quota second rower/13, if we can keep bullock then the side will be much more balanced than currently

I'd still choose a 7 over a backrower, particularly with the way Staveley (got it right finally ) is playing, keep Bullock and you could have a pack of:
Walker
Martin
Carlos
Sutcliffe
Tindall/Russell/McIntosh
Trueman
New halfback
Ese Ese
Brown
Bullock
Okunbor (hope he comes good)
Staveley
Sao

Pele
Brown/Fash
Ashworth
Smith

If anything if we could keep Bullock, I'd look for a overseas centre over a backrower, watching Carlos get run over by a centre who was playing amateur rugby last year, made me think he either isn't fit or he is done, probably both to be fair.

He's liked a tweet basically saying Smith has treat him unfairly and he deserves better.

If he genuinely believes that, he's deluded

Also got into an arguement with a fan about team selections

I'm convinced Trueman could become a good 7 for us. Problem is he's come off 2 bad injuries

Very unprofessional and almost childish, especially when it’s so public to see (if you’re reading Tex, grow up!)

Re Bullock, I'm lead to believe it maybe that he will be here for the season.

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Mon Mar 04, 2024 9:23 am  

Certainly wouldn't mind that. Bullock is one of those old fashioned props. No frills just runs hard .

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Mon Mar 04, 2024 9:25 am  

Hopefully see Tindall back soon. Looked good in friendly games. With Martin on the other wing for a long time we have 2 young wingers with genuine pace.
