Heard that Marvin had some injury problems last season, and that he was considering his future. |

Jonny Hooper is quite short, but the rest aren't that small!  |

He played quite a lot of games for Maesteg last season from what I can remember, and they've always had a tough pack, so fingers crossed he can do the business!!! |

| There's more to come surely, with a couple more backs and second rows needed. We need to get to the 30 mark, atm 23 which is a good start. Pleased with signings |

it says in the gazzette that Chris Tossel is staying any news.?
Marvin cant play no more because of injury, i think we should get him on board as a coach.
has the club been in contact with James Murphy(fullback / outside half ) at Pencoed, very talented player.?
We also need to sign a ball carrying 8, another second row, winger and an experienced prop forward.
saying that i am happy with the signings made so far, as i said earlier who is Mathew Davies (other than tich..LOL) .? |

Experienced prop forward? Andrew Millward anybody? Surely he can do a damn fine job!!!!!!! Another second row? We only have 1 at the moment and he's about 100 years old! |

In that case, my first choice team for next season would be;
15. Gareth David
14. Chris Weightman
13. Geoff Hobbs
12. Gareth Howells
11. Dan Connolly
10. Mark David
9. Johnny Hoopers
8. Karl Hocking
7. Matthew Tidball
6. Dale Newell
5. Keith Stewart
4. Rhys Garfield
3. Rhodri Jones
2. Scott Baldwin
1. Lee Davies
Obviously, if we have Webby, Bevington and Pitman available they can slot in somewhere!
Promising. |

5. Don't know
4. Don't know
3. Andrew Millward
2. Scott Baldwin
1. Phil Price
If Webby is ever available, he'd be in, so would Bevington and Pitman would probably replace Newell.
Don't know enough about Garfield although I thought he was a back row and I can't imagine what sort of season we'll have if we have to pick Stewart or Hocking (he was past it in a poor Maesteg side last year)!!! Let's hope we can find some decent second rows or we'll really struggle. |

| what makes you think that? He hasn't retired so he must be playing somewhere. Surely he's got to be at games on a Saturday in order to do a decent coaching job. So he might as well play. |

He will play for the Ospreys whilst the internationals are away at the Autumn Internationals and Six nations, whilst coaching us. There may be a chance he will play for us if we are short, but he's been bought in as a coach, right?

Agree with the need for extra second rows, but disagree with the rest. Hocking is a good professional and I am overjoyed we have signed him. Whatever people say about him being "past it" I would disagree. He is what, 32? Just because he was part of a poor Maesteg side, doesn't make him a bad player at all. He will have plenty to give to the team, as will Keith Stewart! Experience is key if we are to battle in this league, its not as easy as some people think, we can't go and cherry pick the best in the league anymore!
HTH. |
