GB,
Botica was well before Pat Richards. As Peterg says Pat was the last reliable one.

Sneyd is a hell of a player, but I can't see it.

Have we anyone in the junior ranks ready to step up?

No Whups. He plays RU for a top London side and I think he has signed for a leading French club next year so he will be on big monies there.

Edit. Just checked it was Harlequins and he has moved to Montpellier.

Perhaps it would help our existing goal kickers if we adopted the Rugby Union Style of ball it's lighter ,more of a point than league's , it's only a suggestion for when you watch those guys they polp them over from anywhere on the pitch ,length and width so,,wot u think?

It's not chsnge the shape of the ball to help kickers why not go the whole hog and widen the posts too (joke) it's the skill of the kicker that counts. It never bothered Farrell, Botica, Richards or Tyrer we need a quality goalkicker here. Hull KRs Mantellato would fit the bill perfectly he's a top class winger too.

Don't know who hkr's manotello is 🤔, but Josh Mantellato, is for a winger slower than a cart horse. An aircraft carrier can turn around quicker.🙄
