The way the rugby side of things at the club were conducted over the last couple of years was terrible in my opinion. Chester and his influence put the club back years. However recent things I have been hearing and these signings have given me confidence and revived my interest .
Well done to all concerned as mistakes have obviously been recognised and we are back moving in the right direction.
I don't totally agree with you and PB I've heard the same nonsense as you about the alleged wages of certain signings - they are utter rubbish.
That said I think we will agree on one thing, WP likes his tougher player, who can tackle. Toughness is by far the thing most lacking in the team in recent years, I'd go as far as saying we had gone soft.
Hall, Murphy, Whitbread, Bowden Taufua, Evans and Butler all have one thing in common, they can tackle and seem to be a bit tougher mentally.
I like Hood, don't see the problem. Lineham and Gaskel can't tackle and don't get stuck in, as is the case with a few others. That can't be changed overnight but these signings are positive.
