Welcome back Cliffie, good to have you back in the team.
I can only assume that Dom is not available this week?

I would guess he is being 'rested', as I haven't heard of any injury. Thus now Takes Andy Brown to lead the appearances table (all being well) (which I shall post following this weekend), with 15 appearances, 13 of them from the start, ahead of Dom's 14/15
Good to see Callum back as well.
I hear that Ricki Stout has signed to Hull Ionians. All the best to him with getting more playing time there.

Thanks NIck...it's all on:
[rugby.statbunker.com]
if that makes it any quicker for you...
Tim
No, it would make it much slower thanks. I keep track match by match in a spreadsheet, whereas if I used statbunker I would have to go through lookin for, e.g. unused replacements, who they credit with an appearance.
The biggest task is reformatting what I have to the limited formatting functionality of this board.

Good to see cliffie back, unfortunately im not a fan of having hamilton on the wing as he just doesnt have the speed or strength anymore for that position. However i Will be looking forward to ryan putting a good shift in at FH.

Hmm. .. We appear to be accepting Cliffie back whilst not at full fitness. Having spoken to someone who has played alongside him and Wolfie, I am led to believe both are trying to play the season out as best as possible, as they are both awaiting op's. If said info is correct, Cliffie is unable to loft his arm even close to shoulder height.

Scott Hamilton on the wing instead of Dom? What on earth is the logical thinking and the reasoning?

very strange back line which doesnt look to have much pace or power. assuming dom is injured wheres the two guys we signed on for the season(a centre an dwing). just about to do my score prediction and much a sit pains me think i'm going to have to put us down for a loss. heres hoping the team pull together and fight for a win

In terms of Sam, is it possible that his totting up of yellow cards had led to a suspension?
I'm more than a little vague on this but I was under the impression that three or more yellow cards for foul play (although I am not sure what Sam's cards were for) in a season results in a trip to the disciplinary committee? Someone more knowledgable should be able to clarify?

Caolan Ryan out through training injury so there'll be some more changes needed...

That would probably mean either bring back in George Worth who has played two (part) games for Cov as a DR from Leicester Academy, or bring back either Dom or Peter Weightman, and switch Scott H to 10.

Truth is Nick, it shouldn't be us speculating...there should have been something on the Official website well before social media got hold of the news...
Hough is a decent shout though...or Tincknell

Surely cliffs to ten and Hamilton to fifteen?
Does anyone know what happened to the 10/15 that got the head injury?. He spoke before one game but not heard of him since?. He was outstanding at Cardiff and against Ealing?.

Not the best of starts, parking at rugby ground full. Park just up the road at the football ground (which is also nearly full!)

Clifford at 10, mieres back at 15, Hough on the wing (I think). Looks like Chad's do himself a mischief in the warm up....
