Id take Vea and Kieron Dixon please

Who would you put Dixon in front of? Makinson or swift?

I'd take Caton-Brown to back up Percival and Jones (if turner rumours or true) - and I think Bishay looked sharp when he went to hooker and might be worth a look at - both are very young too.

Re: atelea vea : Fri May 02, 2014 4:12 pm  

Mike McMeekan and Mason Caton-Brown would be top of my poaching list...

Re: atelea vea : Fri May 02, 2014 4:35 pm  

Caton-Brown and Bishay for me.

Just seen the match. Your wetting yourselves over nothin. Vea did three aggressive looking runs. But only made about 5 meters. More style than substantive. Most of the bumping and bashing was sideways.

Re: atelea vea : Sat May 03, 2014 8:16 am  

Rubbish, made an extra five metres after contact more accurate. He took it in with pace & aggression and
broke the first tackle on most occassions. Good offload for their last try & has real size & pace. Looks a real handful even in that side & is doing it consistently.

Not hard with our props. To be fair to Alex walmsley, he was rested for large periods in that game and I'm sure he'd have made more meters.

Come on guys, don't start being vultures before we are down and out! it's bad enough how many young talented players we have lost to the The North, just think with them how much stronger we could be.

I just Hope that we can hold on to players if we are to play in the Championship in 2015.

Good comment mate because not all of us want to see London relegated. However, if you are, some of your home-grown players would be more than a match for some of the Championship teams based on what I saw at Langtree Park last Thursday. The big question is though how many of your fans would continue to watch them in the Championship? If Saints who were relegated, I guess our attendance would drop but your crowds must be at critical levels every week? I also have to say that Sky could have been more helpful to your fans this week by showing Saints versus Broncos on the Saturday and one of the other two games on the Thursday instead. Best of luck for the rest of the season.

I'm amazed how the London chairman has kept London going. You get these deluded fans praising Dr cockrash for throwing big money and old mediocre players because he can but not many praise Hughes who must have ploughed millions into the club just to keep them in business.

It's people like Hughes who are in it for the good of the game, not the likes of Dr Cockrash.

Finally watched the game last night. Watch this guy in the build up to hohaia's try. If Masoe gave a half back the space that this guy gave Walsh, there'd be calls to string him up.
