Not sure where to put this comment but i was looking at the movers and shakers for next season and can see a lot of quality free agents with plenty of years left in them released by their clubs.

Jack Lam, Charlie Walker, Luke Wallace, Ken Pisi, Matt Mullan & Ben Teo would all be a good addition to any squad

We’ve got potential at tighthead, Cole, sinkler and Williams are the three that Jones likes the most. But theres quite a bit of age disparity between the three, i think Cole is being phased out and will be surprised to see him post world cup in and england shirt, then it will be up to the likes of the guys listed by Steve. I really struggle to like sinckler on the pitch, im too young to be talking about the “good old days” or “old school”, but his screaming and reactionary behaviour is unsettling, shame as he is one hell of footballer for a tighthead.

Don P, I sincerely hope you aren’t serious about visiting physical violence on the officials? For shame! LOL.

i’m obviously getting out of touch!
Thanks for the heads up Steve, nice to know we have some decent 3’s coming through.

A number of good players coming through at tight head.
In particular Will Stuart, Joe Heyes and Ehren Painter look to be full of potential. Marcus Street isn’t far behind.
Add in Paul Hill, who seems to be finding some form, Henry Thomas, who has had a very good season with Bath and the very reliable Nick Schonert.
Another to watch out for is Joe Morris who should play a lot more for Worcester next season.

Perhaps, Instead of speaking out about box kicking in respect of 1/2backs, Joe Marker out to have suggested kick boxing the culprits, be they the No. 9’s themselves, or the refs whom allow them to ‘offend’ in the 1st place?!

What about Clifford? What’s the law state on time allowed for the 1/2back to clear the ruck? If there’s no time limit, could it last til 1/2, full time? If there is a limit, refs surely need to enforce, penalise it, instead of ‘coaching’ it.

Leading on from the strength we have at openside ( add Will Welch and possibly Dan Thomas to the three mentioned), the reverse seems to be true with regards to the number of quality English tight heads around at the moment. Is eddie just not spotting them or is there a genuine dearth?
