lol, if he gets himself another lengthy layoff for the CC semi final, and the SL playoffs again, I can arrange him free passage to Manchester Airport.

But seriously Great player as he is, we are basically carrying him atm. I can’t wait till he makes my post look tongue in cheek and pathetic.

I think Abe Forman mentioned two front rowers being the available front rowers before Bullock’s contract was extended.

Let’s assume these were Jack Brown and Sam Luckley seeking six figure per year contracts. Would Philbin be such a bad option then?

This is called The False Dichotomy Fallacy unless you are suggesting that our ONLY choice is/was constrained to Brown, Luckley or Philbin

We'd have been better off losing Matautia last year!!

Jesting aside, i hear what you're saying so looking at the available players next year, which one would you take over Philbs at 15 (and they'd be happy to be 15 and not 8 or 10). Genuine question, not facetious.

I don't know who is available now. I wanted McMeeken at the time and I believe he was available. Obviously need to factor in salary cap limitations but based on our exodus of players I would have thought we are significantly under the cap.

I take it we’re not sniffing around Amone? I’d like to think we were.
