Sounds a bit desperate- maybe there’s another Bassett to be found at Wests?

We could certainly do with finding the likes of Martin Herdman, Colin Fenn & Steve Guyett, all of which came from nowhere. Maybe not another Gary Mason, although watching him score was amusing, carrying half the opposition team with him.

Keiren Murphy & Sumo Rees probably better known. Can't believe there aren't a few Union backs that might fancy it apart perhaps from earning more from Union. Let's hope we at least find a goal kicker. We also don't seem very good at recruiting some of the powerful black athletes out there.

That’s depressed the life out of me. I’d forgotten about goal kick8ng. We’ve been useless since Hankinson left. My guess Walker who if I recall took kick offs until he put it over the dead ball line once too often. On the plus side I think we can look forward to a season without that woeful short drop out that cost us so many points.

I suppose we could overcome our goal kicking frailties by trying to score less tries! Might not win many games though, but we might not anyway.
