Salter is a decent defensive centre, he's certainly in front of Minns as things stand.



I like the idea of Sio at FB, but it makes Dixon surplus to requirements, he's just too short and will be targeted with the high ball on every single defensive fifth tackle within thirty metres of our line.



As the squad is, we should persist with Dixon at FB and use our rotating plan in defence where Mantellato switched in from tackle four.



Finally, anyone referring to anyone, thing, or situation as "XFactor", should be shot at dawn.

As we've learned Sandro Pickering red is consumed with strictly and X factor so I wouldn't expect any let up in the references any time soon

Hard to describe French John without using the term xfactor...

You are a bad man.

Sio to 1 is a poor choice for me. He was one of the best wingers in SL last year so moving him doesn't make any sense IMO. He can catch and tackle well but the full back plays at the line like a 3rd half these days and Ken Sio passes like his hands are on backwards. If they didn't think Dixon was the answer then it should've been a top priority to sign a full back. Keep your square pegs in their square holes.

It's been a long time since I got up at dawn for anything or anybody except to p**s that is and certainly not to be shot by a Goose alongside a fellow Robin.

I can see what you mean but thats the position he wants to play in so let him have a go

I can see why you are not the coach.

You're a very angry man Keith, I can certainly see that.



And "Keith" has and always will be a rubbish name. Dave, or Geoff, or even scrapping the barrel, with one syllable names Gaz are all better.



So, what's your beef Keith?



Do you have a mind



Like a discarded



Leaf



Keith?



Do you stalk these



Boards



Like an impotent Chief



Keith?



Or are you just



As one suspects



A massive gormclops,



Keith...

Reminiscent of "Cliff" by Rik in The Young Ones.



I hope you're satisfied Thatcher.

She took my milk.

That's 3 of us up for post crepuscular elimination by firing squad now, Goose. Me, Barham and Gormclops Keith. I think you ought to add Stan to the list for comparing your literary fayre to Thatcher too.
