Took the family up to Cumbria for the Gary Purdham memorial match. When the England bus turned up i took my eldest lad to see if he could meet some of the players. Every player that we saw stopped and chatted to him. Even now he still talks about how friendly Richie Myler and Joe Westerman were. We couldnt get shut of Gaz Carvell or Steve Mcnamara! The only exception was Tom Briscoe who walked past my lad without even acknowledging him.
Superb player but rude man.

Find that hard to believe. My lad waited outside dressing room for all the players after Quins match and every one to a man stopped and chatted to him. Tommy especially all smiles despite broken nose and posed for photograph with my son. Top man and my lad doesn't stop talking about him.

On that occasion Agar was out last as well. My lad snubbed him. He's only 5. Priceless.

tom was more than happy to sign a rugby ball for my 5 year old nephew at brantingham a few months ago when his grandma took him to see them train.

probably a cracking kid tho' obviously upset at the defeat and I reckon got an extra ear-bashing from the coach - the rest of the lads were fine and took it on the chin - Sam Obst literally from Hendo at the end ! he did look shaky nd it didn't look such a hard challenge ?

Briscoe is probably wondering why he signed a contract with us until 2103. Can guarantee he won't sign another one unless something drastic happens at the club

That's our problem... A 92 year contract on an international wage, the like Rich Horne.

I haven't read all 26 pages on this topic but what are peoples thoughts on Ian Milward?

I'm sure he is a decent coach but sometimes he comes across like a bit of a nutter...

FWIW I can't believe Agar will be in charge next season

My thoughts are that he'd better not start humping one of our cheerleaders as they're all about 12.
