Where did it go wrong for Tommy Harris? A couple of years ago he was running in tries for fun. I wonder if he'll come back to haunt us? Best of luck Tommy.
Other than that, I can think of one or two that will be applauding the exit of Ben Shepherd, but I wish him well, and I'd like to thank him for his long and faithful service. Hope we see him again sometime.
As for the dual-reggies, it just goes to show how much at the mercy of the prem clubs we become if we dabble in this particular pond. It always happens. It always will.
