Seemingly heading rapidly toward senility .....Not long or far to go now , in fact, getting worse daily.....
Re: Pre-Season Q&A: Geordan Murphy
Great news that Brink is fit, shame that Martin is out until 2021...
An squad of:
1. Gigena
2. Youngs
3. Cole
4. Wells
5. Green
6. Brink
7. Reffell
8. Liebenberg
9. White
10. Henry
11. Potter
12. Scott
13. Taute
14. van Wyk
15. Steward
Kerr, Leatigaga, Heyes, Enever, Smith, JvP, Diaz Bonilla & Porter. That's a pretty good squad in my book.

Wiese for me to start or on the bench.
He should be ready to train with us 2 weeks before the start of season, and considering he's been playing shouldn't need much conditioning although that is up to Walters.
Depending on if he still trains at 9 would also like to see Simmons on the bench as a 9 who can cover the back 3 also.
Hopefully we might get some more injury covers in by the start of season.

Re: Pre-Season Q&A: Geordan Murphy
Could do with a class 13 still, especially with Moroni injured. Also looking a bit bare on the left wing, hopefully SAR can come back and show us all he’s a quality winger at home in the premiership.
Think the forwards look good, even with Taufua and Lavanini injured. Wiese and Liebenberg for me in the backrow with Brink off the bench.

Brink looks like he's put on some even more mass since he arrived.

Very much looking forwards to seeing Brink play for us - here’s hoping he has a long run injury-free as when he is in form he is a beast - both on the ball and off it!!RagingBull wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 1:18 pm Brink looks like he's put on some even more mass since he arrived.

For the first game I thought it was a tad early but you maybe right.RagingBull wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 12:11 pm Wiese for me to start or on the bench.

Re: Pre-Season Q&A: Geordan Murphy
I think I saw somewhere that Wiese's last game was being postponed? (May be imagining it) If so do we know it that affects him being out of quarantine by the start of the season?
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Re: Pre-Season Q&A: Geordan Murphy
Wiese has put up an Instagram story suggesting his is leaving for Leicester today - so will complete his 2 week quarantine and should be available for the first fixture vs Gloucester. Should be in good fitness too after training and playing for the Cheetahs in recent weeks - Good news for Leicester!TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 6:26 pm I think I saw somewhere that Wiese's last game was being postponed?
