I agree we should have an A team 100% it would be ideal if the whole squad trained together, but we are in Champ 1 and have to cut our cloth accordingly, there is no doubt the BOD cocked up with coach, but better to admit than flog a dead horse like what happened with DR and GS.


I aint talking about now, im talking about next season, when we will be back in the championship. No reason why we cannot afford to run with a reserve team then is there

For me that is too short-termism. How are we going to grow as a club without nurturing local players. They also cost less than a squad half filled with travellers.

Im not against travellers, but they have to be here because they want to play rugby. not just pick up inflated wages.

I agree is theory, but we cannot go down next season and we can't hardly budget for 1200 gates. 
An A team is a must for 2 years time, but survival next season is the priority.
