Now that I have bared everything (and not in a sexual way Bill) can I go back to expressing my true feelings?

Of course this is my own opinion and other posters may have a different perceived factual viewpoint.

Even the dynamic duo on Radio Leicester thought that Cockers was, yet again, doing very well by slowly introducing another youngster into the first team. If they think this then who are we to disagree?

For me, he really came good today as I had always predicted, wrongly until now, that on each of his Development or First Team appearances he would score at least one try. Well done Steve - the boy done well!. :smt023

Congratulations to Cockers and the management team for another good signing. Let's keep him onboard and tie him in with a substantial permanent contract. :smt045

Yes Mafi is a great asset with his height and flexability. Only 20 I understand....him and Slater are assets we cannot afford to miss.

I thought Mafi had a superb game. He could become a very good player indeed.

Mafi was certainly to be seen working hard in the loose, tackling, and in the set pieces. He gives us options which we desperately need in the lineout in the absence of Croft. Very good signing.

His best game so far - he is really starting to settle in.

I would definitely like to see him stay for a while if this improvement continues :smt023

When Croft is back we would have one of the fastest and most mobile backrows around and our line out would be devastating!

Big question would be who would play 8?
Id play Waldrom at 8 with them, let him draw defenders in and with his good hands i think he would put both Mafi & Croft into spaces for their pace to hurt defences.
