Meh. Hartley is the better player these days anyway.

Very nice signing here. Brive will need him if they want to stay clear of the drop zone in Top 14 this season. There are too many solid mid-table teams and it will likely be a fight between five or even six of them to see who drops.

Will be interesting to see how he goes.

 

[Incredible Schalk]

He's is/was England equivelent of Matt Dunning except he wasnt able to slot drop goals. :bleh!:

 

[RC]

I thought he was forced into retirement becasue of injury!

 

[getofmeland]

Yeah I thought he was forced to retire due to injury...

All I can say is....

Hallelujah he's been healed its a Miracle

 

[Caledfwlch]

Of course Hartley is the better of the two. Thompson hasn't been playing!
