[QUOTE="el_tk, post: 38959"] [b][/b] Yeah, they had this guy called Henson at 12 during the 4 week-ends didn't they. Just imagine when Henson trains with them again, and they have a run through match. Henson has slagged off Charvis, and he runs into him. You think Charvis will back down. He will tackle him as hard as he can. Henson won't like this. Friction. Team breaks down. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> You said he was past it. I meant when was the last time you watched him in any form. He has been solid so far this season. Also, I wasn't making comparisions but just said he hardly was crap or not a star as you suggested. He is a rugby start, where as Henson is a commercial star. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div> You talk sense here, and are subtly praising Bristol. Bristol have done very well within their finance structure of not going crazy on spending on one player with high wages - your BODs and Hensons. Lima is our centre, and as I say again, a legend.

I never said Lima was past it. I was merely saying he was a different kind of star, a legend of the game if you will. I am not subtly praising Bristol, I am pointing out that, due to a set of circumstances, Bristol lack world class centres, and by extension, if a club came into huge amounts of money and were looking to sign centres they would, being rational consumers (of sorts) look to to BODs, Hensons, Smiths of this world before the Coxs and whatnot. Saying so and so has a Heineken Cup is irrelevant as they may have done nothing to get it or deserve it- I point to Liverpool, notably Harry Kewell and Djimi Traore. Wow, you think one of your centres could play for Scotland, he must be savage if he's not in the team now! [/QUOTE]
