If Hughes had a clue he would follow Cas lead and hook up with an NRL club or even better with an arrangement with NRL to get fringe players over here for experience and go all out to blitz the Championship over the next couple of years with a plan that he could sell to potential UK based players. Many things to like about this year - albeit I now watch from afar - and with off field and on field upward trajectory IMG boxes are getting ticked, and who knows.

Just been watching an old Midsomer Murders (the John Nettles version) & lo & behold, who should turn up in it but our very own Martin Herdman. Now he came out of nowhere so let's hope Cake can find a few more like him from somewhere.

I see our new Aussie back has just arrived. A quick trip to Tesco in the driving rain to get a pint of milk only to find it’s closed for Bank Holiday should soon bring him up to speed on where we are. Happy days!

[quote="RfE":19fzl2ba]Agreed. And it’s not as if we’ve got Skolars players ( L1 level) anyway. Perhaps some of Bassett’s former teammates should bring their boots to games next season……….[/quote:19fzl2ba] Talking of Nostradamus Benny how about this one from Rfe. Looks to be spot on!
