Re: New confirmed signings
Nice to see our second row collection increasing and like for like quality 3rd choice hooker
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity
Re: New confirmed signings
Good news. Last paragraph re Thompstone is also encouraging as long as he wants to stay.
I am neither clever enough to understand nor stupid enough to play this game
Re: New confirmed signings
Have to admit I don't know much about either although I have heard good things about Fitzgerald, what are peoples thoughts regarding Bateman?

Re: New confirmed signings
Does the Bateman signing suggest we will see Thacker moved to 7? He's far too talented to be a 4th choice hooker.

Re: New confirmed signings
Bateman third choice hooker but likely to be first choice till after the world cup.
Re: New confirmed signings
Since season is delayed until after group stages of World Cup then I imagine Italy will be out by then. So 2nd choice.MJ Chairman wrote:Bateman third choice hooker but likely to be first choice till after the world cup.

Re: New confirmed signings
I think it is likely. Also I have impressed by our other young hooker Farnworth. So it could work for all parties.TigerLad wrote:Does the Bateman signing suggest we will see Thacker moved to 7? He's far too talented to be a 4th choice hooker.

Re: New confirmed signings
According to his profile he also made several appearances for Welsh (during their first Premiership visit) at Prop, so a versatile front rower. Good to have around during the RWC where we're could conceivably have, in the worst case, 6 front rowers away on International duty.MJ Chairman wrote:Bateman third choice hooker but likely to be first choice till after the world cup.
