Have I missed something? Is it just hearsay or is he a future Saint?

Re: Richard Beaumont : Fri Aug 02, 2013 9:44 pm  

Thought he had a decent game tonight.

Still needs to improve a lot, but he hasn't played much rugby in his career. Could turn out to be a decent signing long term.

From the few times I've seen him, he looks like he will improve our ad he's better than Perry and laffranchi.

Looks more like a starting prop to me.

Yes. He's steady and maybe would be better starting with LMS and then we can bring on Masoe and Walmsley on rotation.

Although, it depends where the coaching staff see Walmsley. I think he could end up being a starting prop if he builds his fitness up. He's certainly got the potential to play far more minutes than he does now.

Where has this come from we've signed him?

I still 100% think we need another prop alongside Beaumont, maose, walmsley, clough, laffranchi (if stays). We need a good starting prop but obviously the club knows this as we are in the market for a prop.

It's whether we use the quota spot for a stand off or a prop.

Tough call

I know he'd agreed a deal but unsure it ever got signed.
