For those that don’t know (including me ) who are HS and JB….can you use names as am sure that there are other users thinking the same. Jordie Barrett!

I presumed he meant Harry Simmons and Josh Bassett.

Josh Manz, iirc can play across the backrow which will potentially be very handy going into next season. He's a big lad as well so a handy jumper in the backrow. I haven’t seen much of Josh Manz, can you describe what style of player he is/his strengths/similar to any previous players? I saw him pl...

Dunno he's been playing Championship Rugby for the last two years. Could be he's got himself a deal back in the Prem now he's got his EQ status back.

I think Finn is big enough to play lock, and has done for us this season and not looked out of place. Its not so long ago that we weren't sure Martin was a lock, and look how that turned out! For me Martin has always been and always will be a lock. Carnduff could do with putting some bulk if he is ...

The All Blacks props headed by De Groot and Lomax are excellent scrummagers, so if Genge not fit it may be both Quins looseheads touring They are both absolutely massive. Going to be a tough job for anyone we send though they are tall so perhaps a shorter loosehead can cause some issues if they are...

Spoke to Jasper in the ABC at the Black Lion's game about Beets and he said, and I quote, "we've got a good one there - he is a really good player". I smiled as he had said "We've" and he won't be here and "is" a good player not will become or is a real prospect which ...

Archie van der Flier gets Young Player of the Season at Nottingham Just looked at his stats he’s tall for a loosehead. His best chance of quality game time next season will be to stay at Nottingham Same height as both Kiwi loosheads Same height as Nephi Leatigaga and Logo Munipola as well. A big ba...

Looks like Gengey picked up a calf injury and could miss England Summer Tour. We do have options at loosehead. Marler, Obano, Baxter, Rodd, Haffar, Ioygen, Brantingham... Some are a bit on the youthful side but they'd do the job for the Japan test and as the third choice. Genge is the best of them ...

100% this - hope DMK and the rest of the staff and players get some time to switch off and reset mentally and come back hungry and ready to rip! Today showed the support behind the club and even with a tricky season there is huge backing to see this great club into the new season. We back the club,...

Wiese in trouble... So stupid by Wiese! Unbelievable. Obviously red. Something like that was coming. Dickson came into the second half refusing to ref the breakdown. It was absolute carnage with both sides taking increased liberties. Vincent was in at the side, off his feet and trying to play the b...

I think he miss hit it under pressure though kicking too long so IFW can run with the ball is also not that advisable.

WGC rumoured as Hepburn replacement WGC will be fantastic for Chiefs. Good at scrum time and he's a decent ball carrier, particularly close to the line with his frame. I wouldn't be surprised if Alo ended up at Chiefs, they've managed to get a tune out the massive and every third ruck Painter, who ...

Steward caught out there. We’ve started reasonably but a few errors from Pollard have cost us. To be fair IFW is a work class finisher and did an awesome job. It’s before IFW gets the ball, his feet are square and he’s ball watching. Trust the inside man, be side on and he would have been able to t...

Harry Elrington would be a decent pickup for someone. I think he's a solid Prem LH. Not needed by Tigers with Smith, Cronin and Whitcombe. It's nuts to me that Will Goodrick-Clarke and Biyi Alo are both plying their trade in the Championship though. WGC is just a quality EQP LH. Whilst Alo offers t...
