On current form, yes I would offer him a new deal. However I would wait until the second half of the season just in case.

If he keeps going like he is, I see no reason to not keep him on. He still seems to have the fitness of a much younger bloke!

I wonder if the AC Milan medical staff will take a look at him? As they are at the cutting edge of keeping players fitter, less injury prone and that age is less of a barrier.

Although "Alfie" Thomas at 35 might find RL fitness a lot higher the RU, it's on the playing field he'll notice the difference.
I like the way he was told RL is like doing a few shuttle runs then hitting a brick wall!

He could certainly go another season if we play him off the bench as he did at Manly, rather than expectiing him to play the full 80

If he can keep his current form up, then yes, and knowing Beaver, he probably will. It also depends on whether a decent centre becomes available, because that coulod be seen as more important.

I'm sure Beaver's ability to play backrow, centre or stand-off will also increase his chances of playing on.

I'm a big Beaver fan

and would be tempted to give him another year, injuries and form permitting. However, if we get the option of signing a younger, o/s trained, good outside back on a longer deal, I think we'd have to probably let the Beaver go as he'll probably only play on for 1 more year and we can't really afford to let good players pass us by..........

Totally agree with that, I wouldn't let Beaver go for another forward (unless it was Watmough

) But if the chance comes to sign any quality from 1-5 i'd take it.

I'd love to see him in a coaching role though.

Beaver's like fine wine...it gets better with age.

I love Beaver...























...I Like Steve Menzies too!!

I wanna know if he's got a portrait hidden in his loft!?!

Get him signed up again. Beaver is awesome.

Think we are safe cos few would accuse Beaver of beauty? But either way I bloody well hope not, since if he HAS we'll soon have another Sean Long on our hands...

If Beaver's the one with the magical youthful looks, what the hell must that portrait look like now!

Sean Long?

I refer the honourable gentleman to the post I made earlier...!

Beaver is becoming one of the Bulls most memorable players, and long may it continue.

I wonder if he fancies turning his time to coaching? He certainly would be seful in attracting players to the Bulls in future years........

You may be right

Beaver staying on as a coach might all depend on who is in charge next year.................

I hope he stays and that's exactly how I would like to see him used, maybe a similar type of deal that Deacon has got at Wigan with the opportunity to get into a coaching role

If his decisions on which country to live in are based on whether he can get the darts on telly or not I'm not sure I want him.

I know, that just has to be wind up

And then theres the fact that he would inexplicably refuse to wash if he can't find somewhere showing darts.

You don't think all this a precursor to putting in a bid to do the website blog next year? Seems like the right sense of humour!
