Well that’s what I was told but he was filmed training and kicking a ball this week?? Unless that is old footage he looked fine to me.

Could well be true about Bateman - think he needs more than a game and a half before he is written off though personally…

I think you are being very reasonable. Let's see a bit more before we start whipping ourselves into a frenzy. Mind you we have had so little to moan about this year. Burgess out ....hasn't got a clue ...what would he know about playing second row?

Not sure where that rumour comes from but Williams himself seems to think he's playing tonight, according to what he's said this week. Unless he's fractured his foot last night.

Bateman must have felt he’d won the lottery when we offered him a deal and absolutely baffling on his form for Wests what on earth possessed us to sign him.I said he’d be a bad one and am being proved right.

Because Fitz won't play again this season.

In all honesty ,the performance of the team was below par last week.
Maybe the boys are not used to warm weather rugby & this is Britain where game days & hot days together are rarer than hens teeth.

I must say though that results are being affected by the lack of Stef's kicking reliability & it could bite us badly on the a**e in games that matter. Hopefully , he will be back from injury in time for the play offs.

Rumour is that Williams has a fractured foot and will be out until the play offs at the earliest!?

Come on. For just one week can you not make something up for attention?

It was Madame Boyd/What would Brian Bevan Say.
The rumour came from them on Twitter.
