I thought a journeyman was someone who had been at lots of clubs but never really settled at any.
Me too. I think they’re confusing a journeyman with a squad player
I think you would class Westwood as a stalwart

Catalans left edge of Smith, Edwards, Williame and Tierney is there first team that scored the true last year, minus Smith add Drinkwater. Against our replacement second row, a believed weakness in clare and minikin.

They only scored when piggy backed down field on dubious calls.

Catalans will be no pushover this year and we just did a number on them.

Great game, great crowd, especially with the temperature.
because some people don't wear tinted glasses and debate how we can improve are very good team just need a few more editions to proper challenge for top prize you question there loyalties mmmmmmm very strange comment
Interesting your posts on this matter are negative rather than positive or ambivalent. Interesting you picked up on my post as being rose tinted rather than an opinion of what I saw on the field.

Is a tough choice whether to go for a great 17 and then under 23s or a squad. Both cost about the same.

Hull have a good 17 but nothing else, saints similar. Injuries make the big difference.

Last year we had the injuries but still got 3rd. There's a lot of luck involved, interestingly, our warm up has changed as it involves a lot of sprinting and twisting. We were out for ages on Friday.

They looked shattered by the end but then put in a right shift to beat them.

Just re-watched the game. Take a bow McShane, Watts and Foster, absolute stand outs by a mile. Their stats for the game were ridiculous.

Although, I didn't realise just how good Jimmy Clare's tackle on Tierney was till I was able to watch it and rewind. That for me was undoubtedly the game breaker, it was a 12 point turn around as we scored from the next set.
