Haven't seen enough of freuan and grant. Have looked good against poor oppo.
If we don't offer Zach the earth we would be crazy.
Quote:shipwrecked
Grant has been brought on in at least 2 occasions to play the last few minutes in defensive situations. Hard to get up to speed in those situations. He seems a fast attacking player, well capable of keeping up with our backs.
Problem is his position! We have still got Denton and Faletau to come back, at the moment we have 2 internationals who might struggle to get selected.

Denton, in particular, has been broken since we got him. I'd prefer us to give a contract someone who wasn't hand made in Murano.

Thanks for the link boy! Looks from that he's impressed with Grant so far! Denton will certainly be under pressure if he does want to stay here.

Said in that article that Guy Mercer and David Sisi are out both out of contract this summer, chances they'll both get an extension?
Quote:BathMatt53
Does Sisi have any more talent than anyone else? I know that he was highly rated as a kid but 24 in a couple of weeks, will have been at Bath 3 seasons (albeit out on loan) he doesn't seem to have come on.
BoB as I said above I don't think Denton is even up for renewal? As per the other thread, agree about Charteris.

Not quite so - he was getting a run of games together at Irish then had an injury.
That has been his problem- an injury every season.
He has shown well when fit, so would be worth considering - more so IMHO than G Mercer (although I agree club Captaincy & "local boy" status may stand in Guy's favour.
What is not in dispute this season is that Ellis & Z Mercer have overtaken Sisi: they are must haves.
I suppose much depends on the value our coaches believe they get from (the presumably costly) Denton. I have liked what little I have seen this season- again, if he can stay fit he would be a keeper, but if the coaches are worried about his ability to stay in one piece, he could make way - clearing cap for 2 others.

Douglas played school rugby with Saracens' Nick Tompkins who, although dictated by injury to B Barret, started against Toulon last weekend. I see no reason why he would not be ready for a senior contract, other than maybe a lack of in game experience at the top level? However, with his last club Oyonnax, he will have at least gained some exposure. Maybe we will see if he's ready for the step up over the next two weeks or even during the 6N period?
We have, as has been said, an embarrassment of riches.
6: Denton, Garvey, Ellis
7: Louw, Underhill, GMercer
8: Faletau, ZMercer, Grant/Sisi
Quote:nick holder
well we may need him as a 2nd row as I was told by a very close friend of Dave Attwood that he has already told the club he is off to France once his current deal expires.

Didn't he go on loan to Irish because he was not happy with getting enough game time?
Prams and teddies. Did he really want to play for Bath?
Long time ago - someone correct me.

Unfortunately for him he may well have been competing with the MoM...
