Fair enough. We all have off days. Look at Craig Hall, for instance.

If Crocker is a no for this season I'd like to see him here next were the visa and deal clear cut for then. In the mean time the last thing we want to do is rush out and get anyone unless they are a top drawer back. Don' waste our money on anything less. I expect Lauaki to be a star when he arrives. His signing is sod all to do with spin or replacing Crocker he replaces Carvell which Crocker didn't. Top class full back or centre or no one for me.

Knowing our luck we'll hold out for Crocker in 2010 and he'll get done for speeding in November leaving us back in square one.

What is your problem with Briscoe?

We should bide our time and see who becomes available later in the season. We need a top class 1/2 back to partner Horne because thorman is the epitome of averageness

Or even better, gets done for speeding on his way to his first training session and has his visa revoked!

Your opinion of course but that is way too harsh in my view. Bradford game comes to mind. Not a world beater but better than average.

He's not a clone of Craig Hall.

I'd say 1 decent game in 6 is average, or maybe below average. I'm undecided.

Fair enough. We've complained about a lack of kicking game for years and when a bloke comes along who isn't perfect but creates a couple of tries a game from kicks it should be recognised as a positive contribution in my book.
