Here's his try, first time I've seen it, wouldn't mind him bringing that over with him.

I know we have no say in it. but for me Scully is young and has all the abilities we need from a winger just look at the number of times he has gathered the high ball from a kick off and put us in an attacking position.
If we do lose him i feel it will be a very bad choice. plase don't say it depends who we get in to replace him cause we will have to start to intergrate whoever, when we have a good player already in place.
So my choice keep Scully, Morris, Thompstone. Goneva is past his best and at times a liabilty in defence.

I don't think Niki is past his best, what I think he is missing is the holes that having Manu on the pitch creates. For me Niki is great at exploiting the gaps than perhaps being the guy to create them.

Even Cardiff supporters might say that, they're at their wits end.

Just to feed the gossip, Betham & Salvi are now following eachother on twitter. Could that be to encourage or discourage? :smt002

Just struck me that with the appalling continuing injuries for Tom Croft it means that we are likely to now lose him and this combined with the departures of Parling and Gibson will result in the loss of 3 top class line out forwards. :smt010 A big blow and I wait with baited breath to see who will sign to replace them?

De Chaves looks set to step up and replace Parling. Gibson is being replaced by Williams and Fitzgerald is being rumoured to replace Deacon. Our new open side O'Connor is six foot and a fair tail end jumper.

Given how long Parling and Croft have been out I'm sure we'll manage. If we retain Salvi I can't see us signing anymore forwards.
