Yes - not many sides will have 4 better wingers than Veainu, JPP, Thompstone and Betham. (Still like TV at 15 though!)
Betham performances since he has joined he has looked a lot better at 13 than wing, quite like the idea of moving him to 13 as his primary role and bring in another winger.

If its true, you read it here first
Oh and the Glos No 8 Kala ....which we are aware of anyway!
I must be doing something wrong....I've been going to WR for the best part of 20 years and have never had the merest hint from one of these well-connected sources, yet this message board seems to provide a perpetual flood from them! Mind you, my time has comprised of around 15 years on the terrace followed by a switch to the Crumbie cheap seats when my knees gave out, so that might explain it.
In the meantime, I'll enjoy reading the speculation about how Mike Brown might fit in here, but refrain from passing an opinion until the journalistic threshold of three separate - and independently verifiable - sources has been reached!
Here's an example of how it works. You said "Flood" which obviously means that you are surreptitiously hinting that Toby is on his way back. I'll quote you as an anonymous, yet well-connected source and the cycle is repeated
Ah, interesting! So if we could have an enigmatic conversation including the name "Hartley", and start a thread on the basis of this......? : now wouldn't that be an entertaining one to read?!

"There are mumuors this week of a move for clubman Mike Brown, currently on duty with England, but could he be looking for pastures new.
The full-back has been with the club since 2005, but the Harlequin might be moving with countryman Ford to Leicester."
Difficult to tell the source of rumours though. When you have some one like Fissler asking on Twitter about a rumour, things can come full circle very quickly!
Sorry Hinckley Bob beg to disagree, granted he's had a run of poor form recently but I should try asking other teams players which Leicester Tiger player they would prefer not to be tackled by and Peter Betham comes second after Manu.

Betham would not be in my top 5
M Tuilagi
M Williams
D Barrow
L Hamilton
M Toomua
And then there is
T Youngs
E Genge
M Fitzgerald
D Cole
M Ayerza
+ + +

I would certainly have (when fit) a Logo Mulipola on that list somewhere, certainly ahead of Betham
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
We should look at signing the young Quins fullback from last night. He was having a stormer until the incident. No wonder Brown is looking for a move...

Totally agree, he was excellent and apparently he's currently 3rd choice!!
now wouldn't that be an entertaining one to read?!
