Quote:yes seen him on team lists in either position. I will change to Hooker.charlieboa
I think although john stewart has played backrow isnt he primarily a hooker?
Quote:Rawce
Is that 19 out of 40 in the Senior Squad that have been through our academy at some stage? We’re nearly at 50% already then, notwithstanding further incoming players which would adjust it down. What's the definition of home grown? Born within the peaks of the 7 hills of Bath?

I like the idea of the 7 hills of Bsth. Is it actually a thing?

Yep, like Rome.

Something else worthy of note is that the Academy group is much more varied in position than I can remember it. There was a period of about 3 years when all we seemed to have were hookers and props. You can just about make a starting XV from that group .... there's even a f'ing scrum-half, praise the lord.
Quote:TomReagan
Hamer-Webb??
Quote:Optimist
Sure ... i agree people get excited to see a local kid coming through. But that's when they hit the first team, not when they are in the Academy.
Quote:P G Tips
He did Opti, but failed to sustain the promise.
Not helped I admit by England’s coaching & selection during 2008-2014.

"slightly light at lock" .... are you kidding? We are heavyweight at lock - Ewels, Stooke, McNally, Spencer with Ellis and Williams as back-up is as good a 'stable' as any in the prem.

I agree Optimist, there should be plenty of cover in the second row, there is also Tom Jeanes in the academy. I'm not sure we have enough cover at tighthead either, Will Stuart could well be away with England and Henry Thomas has been unlucky with injuries, that only leaves Christian Judge and academy lads.
Good to see Will Butt in the BUCS team of the year... [www.talkingrugbyunion.co.uk]

“ we have lost three second rows- Garvey, Douglas and Rhys Davies“ - how many combined minutes of 1st team action did those 3 clock up last season?
Quote:charlieboa
Rumours that underhill will be on pretty big money. Maybe him and faletau?
Watson signed whilst coming back from his double achilles snap which i imagine lessened his bargaining power.
Our use of marquee is a bugbear for me. I would rather get players in whose sole focus is the club like bristols approach over the last few seasons with luatua and piatau. Vfm from faletau and underhill has been fairly dreadful due to international commitments and injury.

.... also - quite excited to see that Tom de Glanville is listed on the senior squad as 'Fly half, utility back' ... is that a hint that he is being groomed for that position for this season? I really hope so.
I know that it's typical for the stand-out players to automatically play fly-half when they are young, but i always think it's a shame that certain players are ushered away from that position for some perceived lack of 'game management skills', when that could just as easily be a function of inexperience, rather than an inability to acquire those skills.

Good spot old chap!
As I said before I think we will go what we have, keep the money in the bank until the right 10 comes along. TDG being marked down as a 10 sort of indicates that.
Quote:Ali1969
Personally I believe as things stand our squad is weaker than last year. The players we have lost and may lose outweigh what we have brought in.
Quote:hasta
I really disagree with that about Mercer. He always puts his hand up to carry, Faletau is way more likely to be hanging out on the wing. I think Eddie doesn't care for him because he's not big enough.

Totally agree on first bit - i think his workrate is fantastic. I had assumed eddie loves massive number 8s but playing curry there doesn't really fit? Appreciate he has bulked up but probably still smaller than zach who must be about 6ft 3 and over 17 stone?
Quote:Rawce
Squad confirmed. Interesting they have Redpath as well as TdG as Full Backs.

Quote:Rawce
I can only assume that a dedicated 10 will be announced for the new season.
Quote:BathMatt53
Well they are looking and have been for some time, but the official line is that they haven't found one that fits all of their criteria at the moment (including availability, presumably).
