Think I’ll post a thread at a net up closer to the time. Before a game I guess would be best. If I don’t agree with anyone I respect everybody’s perspectives. That’s some serious RL knowledge and experience (me included) and it’s great to share some of that amongst us all.
In all honesty I’ve preferred the debate in here more than the rugby last few years!
Any suggestions on a venue we could actually sit and talk?

It's the Matt Adamson effect.

There was a point a couple of years ago where I was very close to leaving the forum, the constant pessimism and over reaction was becoming a bit unbearable, I do think it has got better in that regard.

I think a summers Friday night in headingley would be great to arrange a meetup

Fwiw Hurrell on marquee money. Ok he had some negatives but played most games, and entertained us all. He is far more deserving of that money then Tetevano imho.
I think we could have kept him on, but clearly he got the hump that we were trying to down-grade him, despite offering far more than most others in the team. I’ll try not to say anymore on this more as he’s gone, but I think it was crazy not to replace him with a quality left centre.

All if say shabs is that keeping Hurrel imo would not have made much difference to how we go this season, he will look good in the saints side because they are so dominant in most games and can compensate for his weaknesses, we currently can’t
