Big Les was an awesome player but we simply don't need him. We've got Richards, Roberts, Ainscough, Pryce and Goulding all capable of doing a job on the wing and i'm not sure he'd be any better then the majority of them after a few years out of the sport.
He looked very slow on some highlights of Gloucesters game at the weekend.

It does make you wonder.
Whatever they're doing in Union, none of these guys seem to benefit from it much. I suppose you could say that Harris and Big Les now look crap because they grew old, but Pryce was equally a shadow of himself when he returned and Walker has never fulfilled his early promise.
Are they still recieving the same crap training in Union that Henry Paul complained about, or does Union think it's buying ready-made superstars in the mould of Jason Robinson, and when it finds it's not, does it then lose interest and treat them poorly?
There must be a reason why so many of these lads, who left League as slick, free-running midfield backs, return from Union as uninterested lumberers.
