Thanks guys, hoping he turns out to be our bonus wild card.
It is a lot for a young man from Ireland to wear, but needless to say it would do the entire club the world of good if he can go on to live up to expectations.

Has anyone got a link to the goal Byrne kicked in last year's preseason? That alone, with his good solid games last year, is the stuff to get really excited about
I was there, Blight missed!!!

Of all the seconds Pickett, Byrne and Boekhorst are the 3 we really need to fire.
Thomas and Curnow occupying the wings are serviceable but we are desperate for pace to get us out of defence in a way that will hurt the opposition. Especially Pickett.

Thank you, RR and Baggers. Enjoyed reading your comments. I can certainly relate to them as well. Hopefully we can see more of Casey and Gussy soon.
Live Long and Prosper!

Good pick-up. And all three are quick. Wouldn't hold my breath re Boekhorst, sadly.

They won't replace him as we are short of it in a big way
I found Ed to be an acquired taste tbh, but having acquired it I think it's a fine vintage.
