How can we not play Hampshire on Saturday ? He's our only back who makes a break and I'd play Reynolds too

Go on then frank,let's play him.



Bedtime now

got a plane to catch in the morning.



See you in France frank.

Sure hope so lad.

What would you do with Mortimer, or do you suggest he just gets back on the same plane back to Aus
And it's not necessarily about making a break unfortunately, it's about controlling the game - unless Hampshire is on the wing he ain't going to get a gig, in fact he's probably behind Reynolds as a half for me - and Drinkwater before either of them before you suggest it

Mortimer wouldn't be fit to play Saturday because I'd only be here tomorrow at the earliest and they fly out Thursday he wouldn't know any of the moves etc etc

We could play him instead of Dawson cos he had a shocker at Widnes or scrum half cos Drinkwater had a shocker too.

He lands today, let's see what happens - personally I reckon he'll get a run out, he's obviously match fit after playing the last couple of weeks in the NRL- give him as much game time as possible to gel

Agreed - he has to play a.s.a.p. to be of any use, come the 8's.

No worries about jet lag then?

so, he wouldn't have trained with the team, he doesn't know our plays and he's got jet lag. Some people are unbelievable. Let the lad settle first.

Course he knows our chuffing plays, unless he can't read


Yes, it would help to get a few sessions under his belt, but in my opinion better to gel - I presume with Drinkwater - as soon as possible.

The result on Saturday is not critical, future performances more so

Be reet if kick off is delayed 10 hours..

I think Mortimer will play Saturday.

He's a young lad and will be over his jet lag by Saturday.

Would have thought it would be kicking in come Saturday Frank,but you know best..

Thought as much "Frank", Wobbly Bob or not. Nice to meet you anyway. Was about to get Frank and his pal a pint before they boogahed off.

But back on topic, Atomic, Bongser will not be there. He never goes to France unless he is paid to do so but he does: B) hope you all have a great time and A) hope you bring two points back for us.

Team? A winning one and....

Can't recall the third bit - if there was one? Scrumpy and beer combo tonight. Goooooo Leythe

I myself Bongser will not be travelling either. My commitment lies at home,sorry work..Safe travel for everyone going and enjoy it..

Will do Atomic, unfortunatley the weather forcast is not good (rain)

Is Jukes aware that Rawsthhorne is an accomplished goal kicker unlike Drinkwater?

He will be aware, I'm sure. We miss the goal kicking reliability of Ridyard, and Reyonlds - who possibly has an even higher success rate than Martyn.

atomic Frank was once a gold member but had trouble with his log in details so had to rejoin under another name.

Obviously, (at least I hope so!

) you are referring to his nickname of 'Goldfinger' there, Ian?!

Now now Alan.

He was then known as FrankB wasn't he Alan if I remember correctly?.

That's right Ian. If he craves anonymity on here, he'll have to come up with a more subtle name change than that!
