Tom Brady

Maybe those that think the club have not brought in quality or not kept players of better quality than those we have, should contact the club with a view of being employed by the club to the job as they clearly think they have more expertise than those currently doing the job.

Brady for Odogwu really was a SMH moment! Solid,nothing else. Terrible under the high ball,but then again so were Goneva and Benjamin. Can't wait for JPP and Veainu to be fit!

No it wasn't. Odogwu is defensively wet and has no reading of the game, and don't give us the 'what a great try scorer Odogwu is'. He has not been, very average at best.According to some posters there were other issues anyway, no idea meself. So as a 2nd string set member, Brady an excellent buy IMO.

Odogwu explains why in his RP article. He was told his chances were slim for a Prem place so he went to Sale and got one - simples

Reasonable logic consider the squad includes Tombstone, JPP, Veainu and Betham. 3 internationals and an "A" cap. If he wasn't willing to fight to prove to the coaches he could be better than them and absorb all the experience that they could give to him then IMHO he was welcome to go elsewhere. He'll probably be a good club servant for many years.

That's an interesting name Tombstone, who does he play for or is that your nickname for Adam Thompstone?

The drums must have woken you up Noddy, Tombstone has been used quite often for Adam.

I think we should investigate Tombstones parents lineage. After all with people like Cooper and Smith you know where their ancestry comes from.

Considering Tom has been filling in whilst the likes of JPP, Veianu and Tait were/are injured and Betham covering in the centres he is not a bad squad player and in fact against Sarries and Wasps he was one of our best players but of course those that want to put down one of our own will focus on the odd mistake.

As far as I am concerned he decided to wear our colours and deserves our support, anyone who has chosen to leave for whatever reasons, its their business but they are no longer a Tiger.

I don't know about being automatically deserving these days, maybe in the past before the player merry-go-round became the fashion, so few new names came in back then you knew if a player got in he was a real good one.
A bit less certain these days!
Tom Brady has done alright, not had much chance to show out and out pace and footwork on the outside yet but I think he will when all return and he has come inside to break the game up to good effect given our centre situation.
He has turned up in some of the big matches when it has been tough.

Although he has played well in the last game, when everyone is fit I'm sure he won't get a look in not even on the substitutes bench, but when injuries and international call ups occur then Brady is adequate cover given that other clubs can't field their best teams when that happens.
