That’s a shame, he’s been a good player for us but I suspect when you are putting your body on the line the chance to get a few more games in the Championship for a bit of extra money is not so motivating. I suspect navigating an off field career with the demands of RL are difficult. Even the mechanics of getting across London to go to evening training twice a week must be a chore.

The email apparently only went to bobble hat wearers.

I believe our next plan is for Cakeman to lead a press gang around the rugby clubs of the South East. It worked for Nelson!!

Just been watching an old Midsomer Murders (the John Nettles version) & lo & behold, who should turn up in it but our very own Martin Herdman. Now he came out of nowhere so let's hope Cake can find a few more like him from somewhere.

I see our new Aussie back has just arrived. A quick trip to Tesco in the driving rain to get a pint of milk only to find it’s closed for Bank Holiday should soon bring him up to speed on where we are. Happy days!
