Can we have him? He's not in the first team picture at Celtic, as far as I'm aware, correct?

No he's not and I dont know why

But you cant have him

Yet again he is not in the frame to play. I have no faith left in the team selection anymore. Lose, lose lose and he still picks the same team. I suppose he has to keep picking them just to prove that he has not made a big cock up by the number of aussies he has signed.

I gotta say, I'd really like to see the guy play.

He came to us because Long's form was keeping him on the bench at Saints and WE are using him in the reserves, where he's clearly getting frustrated.

Now admittedly he needs to win his place in the team, but if he's just 3rd choice cover, it would be more honest to offer him a return to Saints to at least play for THEIR reserves, or perhaps see if he can get a loan into NL1 where he would probably be a 1st choice player.

a little mixed up on this one, matty smith is the scrum half who sean long is keeping out of the team............

He links up with Mattys kicks superbly, surprised he hasn't been given a run out yet

Finger, yes. You are right

I am deeply ashamed of myself for getting that one wrong.

But did you have to use such a HUGE font to highlight my error?

Why deeply ashamed? Tis an easy mistake to make. Not many people would know much of what was going on in other teams so why should you? Saints were hoping for both Tyrer and Smith to have valuable first grade experience at the Crusaders and for them to be valuable players for the Crusaders.

Although Tyer does have defensive problems - or he did when at Saints anyway (they need not be lifelong problems of course) - but he works well with Smith and he is a bit of a try machine. He also kicks well. So with good coaching and encouragement there is no reason to believe that Tyer could not be beneficial to you and it is a real shame he is being left in the reserves.

I think Dixon may need to get a little more creative? It's clear your team is struggling, which is not a huge surprise given the big gap between Championship and SL standard, but there could be alternatives which Dixon may need to explore?

True, and given that half our team is on the injured list (now Marshall Chalk sidelined until July) it may well be a decision Dix is FORCED to make soon.
