I'm hearing that Ferres has more to answer for on the recruitment front than Lowes.

Doesn't Ferres do all of it?

A fairly accurate article in my opinion. The RFL not selling the lease is interesting, i thought Green said it was almost a done deal and just needed legalities sorting?

No, I think the last deal Green was talking about was actually the one with the council, for the freehold, iirc. If that deal with the council goes through it will be interesting as we will own the ground but will still be paying rent to the RFL - they, of course, will then be paying rent to us...

I expect Lowes gives him a list of players and Ferres then tries to get them - I could be wrong. Whether Ferres then goes "off piste" with that request I don't know. The history of the game is littered with examples of coaches falling out with management over recruitment.

I do wonder about our ever expanding squad that doesn't include a proper scrum half or a fullback that can do what we need. Was it all put together with a clear plan in mind or was some of it done on a whim? It doesn't look like the most carefully assembled squad and judging by how many games certain players get not all of them are wanted by the coach.

I'll leave people to draw their own conclusions.

Heard a little rumour Lovegrove could be forced to retire with his latest head injury. Not too sure how true this is, hope it's not. I think he is a very good player

I know he's had issues with concussion in the past. Hope he makes the right decision for his long term health.

I wasn't personally aware of history there but the London forum was dripping in references to this being on the cards about the time we signed him.

Yes, when my lad was on loan at London last year Lovegrove missed a fair few games later in the season with concussion, when he did play he certainly stood out

That won't help with the signing of a scrum half, we will need another prop if he has to retire! Seriously hope all goes ok for him and he doesn't have to
