Wasn't there a suggestion that Bell might not be a quota player next year ? Played for Scotland in the World Cup hasn't he ?


No way Jed being 'binned off' - big asset when on the field. oh and his dad doing a reasonable job too !!


Seen comments blaming the 4G training pitch, my understanding ( from a club release ) is that all clubs now well aware of the potential danger so now carefully structure amount & type of training on the various surfaces. Sure they also mentioned migration between the two.


Al part of the new professional approach to the strength & conditioning side ?


Guess too early to measure its impact on keeping bodies on the pitch rather than sat in the stands though ? 


Regarding Pryce, definitely a flair attacking player. Don't see him as a replacement for Cust, room for both in the 17. See him as a replacement for Jordan Abdul - Cust would be an excellent player as hooker, cover in the halves, impact no. 14. 

Yes hope fully Jed can get a run of games in make or break for him, Big John very close, Pryce close to, we won't bring anyone in now. 

Putting together a big pack is all well and done, but there is still a lack of quality to compliment it in the backs. Just hoping we can sign a good three-quarter and maybe another half back.
I don't mind Cust, but I think he's more suited as an interchange nine, but then I'd worry about Balmforth, who I rate highly. I'm sure the powers that be are doing all they can to move us forward recruitment wise.

First job in rugby get a good pack .. Without that you win nowt ....Am sure the powers to be will know we need some backs to ...But it is a rebuild ..... We are definitely going in the right direction..... All most of us asked this year was a team that gives it's all and didn't collapse...We have that... Yes we are struggling now but that was to be expected given the injuries to key players .....

Absolutely we're a re-build, I'm looking beyond next season before we hopefully start to reap any rewards. There's a new found fight in the side which is all we could have hoped for. In Cartwright and Co we trust..
