Sorry but I just can't agree on Godwin. He's nothing more than average he's a headless chicken type player.

If he's competing against Deacon for a place in the side, probably about 0.0001%.

When hell freezes over or when it's a blue moon.

Ok, you're entitled to your opinion. But the problem is, there aren't an abundance of replacement hookers around, especially that the Bulls could realistically recruit, in fact you could generalise it to hookers overall.

That's whats staggering me about people wanting rid of Newton, lets see where we are in reference to hookers in a years time and see if you'd want Newton back, I know I certainly don't want Newton to leave, I'd make him captain!

He is a lightning conductor for head injuries, thereby reducing the chances of his teammates getting one

I totally agree on Newton.

As do I. I fear that we'll miss his brain as well as his presence on the pitch next season. We already have enough collapses as it is, there may be more without -imo- the best rugby brain in our squad.

On the other hand, I think he has the potential to be a disruptive figure in the dressing room. (NB: Me surmising, there's no substance to this)

not the genius that is Beaver then no? i'd say he was the best rugby brain in the league.

I think it's called schadenfreude.

He's not doing anything for me at the moment, and Cook in my opinion was unfairly dropped a few weeks back. Cook for me is better than Worrincy. As for Sykes on the wing, what's wrong with that?

If he can't defend at centre then he'll be even more of a liability on the wing.

He got switched to Wing during his game at the world cup and ended up being a liability.

Why will he? He's got the touchline as a defender at the side of him that's never caught out of position, all he's got to do is mark his man up.

Yeah, you would think....

That's exactly my point.

He'd be fine.

There's more reason to drop Sykes than Sheriffe though.

They are both as bad as each other, I'd rather play Sykes than Sheriffe though.

How about we send them both back to Quins?

Problem solved.

We are going to get butchered this weekend, not going to be pretty, then SM will saunter off and give us all this BS about how we are just about to turn the corner etc etc but the next week it all happens again....

Bizarre. I think Worrincey has gone pretty well recently and certainly has put plenty of effort in. He's probably one of the few players to have enhanced his reputation this year. I think he has been more effective as an impact player off the bench though.

Hmm, Betting by Paddy Power are going basically even money both teams.
This seems well above our own supporter expectations but they do not have our despondency culture and I wonder if they are better assessors of the game that we are. I expect so cos they are professionals and continue to make money out of their odds making.
Just placed a modest bet £5/£100 on the draw.

If you were an addicted roulette player, then after what seems like 20 black you'd absolutely lump on red. Statistically, we can't lose. i reckon it is fill yer boots time again, and at 10/11 you can double your money in an hour and a half.

Or you could leave it in the bank for 12 months and earn half a percent.
