Beats me Luppy.....
Wonder if he would bring Andrew with him.....

Would be very happy with this, he would be our best prop along with Whitbread and offers us the sort of big effective carries than none of our others can do. He is also a leader which is something we lack, fingers crossed he comes in and Antoni goes home.

He'd be great.
Except we don't have a quota spot.

More than happy if he comes back but I hope people realise he isn't going to be as fit as he was. I'd take 10 minutes of him over all of Atoni's efforts so far to be honest.

Short term would be a very good move. Atoni I was hoping would start firing in the summer months after settling but with his 4-8 week injury we probably won’t see him in many games from now till end of season.

Section of fans calling for the club to take action to save the season will be happy with the club management. They are clearly doing just that with bringing in Gale, Croft and looking at options like Dave F and Shaw.

Fact is though as mentioned there would have to be one going out. So long as it’s not Whitbread or Lino that’s fine.

I’m sorry but the damage is already done. I doubt Dave’s return would have much of an impact in results.

In terms of our preparation. Relying on a player who's retired to get us out of the because our coaching team does not have the ability to get a tune out of our poor squad.

De-register Atoni and bring Dave in. Other teams have de-registered players in previous seasons. At least Dave has some feel and passion for the club and it's supporters and he's been playing for the Entrance Tigers who play in the Newcastle Leagues Denton Cup which is a pretty good standard, so he'd be somewhere near fit (as he ever will be

)
It might just be the catalyst we need, it might not, but times is desperate so give it a go I say.

Whilst I agree with you RE the coaching staff, Dave instantly improves us on the pitch, probably not enough but it is worth a try.

Absolutely or the club could just throw the towel in like Willzay (glad they haven’t).

Wishful thinking that, Trojan...if we sold out to Jeff Bezos, most of the doom-mongers on here still wouldn't be happy

I believe Atoni has a 8 week layoff through injury, get him de Registered, Big Dave could add another thousand fans to the attendance, that pays for big Dave’s wage.

We might get some more players in yet.

It might give the place a temporary lift but its big ask for him to be the Messiah. He’s been playing a bit of bush level footy in Australia but his fitness is going to be way off the level required. And at all but 34 it ain’t going to be that easy to just switch it back on. And it also very much depends in who is is replacing on the quota.

You can’t just de-register players.

Big Dave would go down a treat and would and should be seen as a positive move. For a club that doesn't do positive that's quite a turn round.
I'm interested to know just whoes leading on the idea front.

Swop out Atoni for Fifita then no doubt there is an instant improvement. That's not what I find commical. Its the fact we're in this situation in the first place.

Swapping out Atoni for anybody would be an improvement.

If I was Dave I'd leave it I the past. Went out a hero. I love him dearly but there is a risk here that he spoils his legacy.

Flame away but maybe lets keep a good thing good.

He would give the whole place a lift and the majority of supporters would love it.
Just imagine if he could help the squads survival, what a story in the making.

Hang on, I'll go find me boots....

Slightly o/t but Adam Milner is now being linked with Shudds rather than us

A swap for Mr Dead from Harry Enfield would be better.
