Olyy why is Odogwu playing in Nat2 for Sale FC?

You're safe from relegation and does diamond really think playing in the champions cup next season will be a benefit? Unless he has some players signed but only if they get to Europe or something.

Shame he was good in the limited time at Tigers and has been great for you so Nat 2 is quite a drop, why not loan him to the champ or Nat one?
 
I'm as lost as you, for my money Odogwu/McGuigan should be 11/23 (flip a coin). Charnley should be the one in the lower leagues.

I'm guessing they're trying to keep Charnley sweet, big name signing, big money, and said the reason he chose sale was because we said we'd bring him through to first team rugby this season whereas wasps said they'd use him at a lower level first.
I know Paolo is at uni in manc as well, so I'm hoping we've just said he can have a bit of time to focus on his studies or something, rather than straight up ignoring him.
 
All ready for a bit of Westcountry-on-Westcountry action as a warm up to the big interracial clash later?

Hoping for a bonus point win for Bath here. Looking forward to seeing Tapuai-Jopseph in the centres, need Priestland to start standing flatter and getting the line moving. Intersted to see how Beno Obano does starting as well, I think it's his first start
 
Shows how much work Louw does for Bath, Underhill will be a massive signing for you since you have no proper 7 depht after Louw currently.

100% agree. Denton is never a 7, I can tell you that for free. We're basically starting without a flanker on the pitch today

Edit: ... and then Denton wins a classic openside turnover!

Burns should fit in well with the bath backline.

Mathewson looks an excellent signing.

Any fly half who isn't either playing crap or crying because his Daddy got fired would fit in well ...

Cook and Priestland are not doing too well, some poor choices but more poor execution (especially kicks)

Yep true. To be fair not helped by absence of back row at nearly all attacking rucks, they're getting crap ball even when we're going forward
 
Henson is Alec Guinness: Genuine Class


I would also have him in my teams on Rugby 04/05, he was just one of those players that despite being such a dick you had to admire his sheer talent and his attitude/ego of not giving a fuk.

I wonder what Wales would be like if he didn't suffer from injuries and being more of a prick.

IMO the most talented 12 the UK has seen.

(Sound like I love him but as a youngster I really really liked the way he would play the game and read the game).

Aye, I love him, he just doesn't give a **** anymore haha
In the MOTM interview they asked what had changed in the last week other than him starting and he was just like "hmmmm ;) "
 
Addison out for the season
Gutted, his combo with Jennings was looking great, and his cpatiancy and goal kicking were growing every game.

Also I reckon he'd have had a good chance at getting a shot in the England/Barbarians game, considering lions and grand finalists would be unavailable. His form has been outstanding
