I cant think of that many front rower players who have developed in the tight that much under Lam, yes the likes of Thacker has moved on their games in the loose but have they developed many players I'm the tight. Those who have thrived there have been players who have solid tight games and had their loose games developed

Has Harry’s game developed or has he been put in a better environment to showcase his talents

I think he has developed in the loose, not in the tight

[fentiger]

TFS has a point I feel Genge has gone backwards since returning to Bristol and Sinkler has certainly not kicked on as a scrumager.

... and as for Lahiff, don't get me started

[Robespierre]

Although Kerr had about 30 Premiership.appearances for us he only started 7 or 8 times, it was not his fault but the majority of games he played in we lost, we probably at that time lost most of the games he didn't p!ay in.. I don't think he got many starts.or much game time at Bristol either.

Reading the BBC rugby results, Kerr scored three tries in Watsonians 33-7 win over Boroughmuir yesterday evening. An excellent beginning with his new club. Maybe the kickstart he needs to rebound into the top level?

I’m wonder if that a dominant lineout drive

Academy prospect Chester Owen joins Coventry after being let go by the club at the end of the season, he was on loan at Leicester Lions last season.

Looks that way. Only report I could find suggests he was excellent throughout and his throwing accurate. He's probably to good for that level so if he can keep showing up well he may land a deal with one of the Scottish clubs.

Looked a real prospect in the academy side. Was a little surprised when we let him go. Big, strong and quick are good qualities for an 8 to have.

Harry Potter PotM at 15 for the Western Force today

He's going to have a great time in Super Rugby. Eddie should have taken him to the world cup. If your team is struggling then having someone as committed and as defensively tough as Harry is only going to help.

You're assuming that Jones knows what he's doing there.

Jones knows what he's doing, he definitely has a plan. Now whether it's a good plan or not we'll find out in time.

Weird seeing him not in a Tigers' shirt.

Not entirely sure where best to ask this question, but, having seen how dire England have been - I do wonder if they did us a favour? Thoughts ladies and gents...

Rolling Maul boys suggested a bit of this recently, Steve being paralysed by the stats, paid us over £1m and the way things are going will sack them all in a month.

Might be able to get Aled and Sir Kev back on the cheap though

The RFU will stick with Steve for a year at least. They've got Felix Jones joining the coaching staff after the world cup and he'll add some much needed international experience to the coaching staff.

I feel we're in 2015 territory at the minute where we've got a young set of coaches with a lot of potential some of which are in the job to soon. I suspect the RFU will be hoping to avoid cutting them loose having appointed them as there is very the much the current case of people pointing and laughing at how Ireland has taken advantage of the harsh lessons those 2015 coaches learned with England.
