Not any help but....does that mean theyjohng on the 25th of April wrote:So....
Dunne & Dusted for the year then? Looks that way. 1 NIQ spot left for emergencies. Bod yet to decide. No OFICIAL word on Flanagan or Goodman.
Inc the 3 of them we are at 41 in the senior squad. Last 2 years we have had 40. Extra one for Bod? Or Flanagan not renewed? Or just no law against having more than 40?
Will wait to see what bod does before they decide?

Re: Mark Flanagan is off?
worried for Flanagan that no transfer was announced
he's good enough for squad place in prem or starting prod2 maybe

I'd say our 5th province Rotherham will sign him.simonokeeffe wrote:worried for Flanagan that no transfer was announced

Re: Mark Flanagan is off?
London Irish seem to be hoarding unwanted provincial players so hopefully he'd find a place in the premKeith wrote:I'd say our 5th province Rotherham will sign him.simonokeeffe wrote:worried for Flanagan that no transfer was announced

Re: Mark Flanagan is off?
all our 4th rate second rows have found starting positions in Australia(Cam Zowitt and Ed O'Donoghue)... send him off there?
Re: Mark Flanagan is off?
He needs gametime, a year or two in england might be the making of him.
Re: Mark Flanagan is off?
O'Donoghue has done really well for himself!! The Australian commentators are always giving him a lot of praise.papachino wrote:all our 4th rate second rows have found starting positions in Australia(Cam Zowitt and Ed O'Donoghue)... send him off there?
Re: Mark Flanagan is off?
I wasn't at the awards last night but apparently there was some talk that there were two players heading for London so logically that would have to mean Flanagan, wouldn't it?

Leaves us with
Cullen
Toner
Denton
McCarthy
Marshall
Roux
OK in terms of numbers. I suppose Leo staying put paid to Flanagan.
Hard to say who the starting line up will be. Cullen McCarthy with Toner on the bench?

Re: Mark Flanagan is off?
We also have the two VERY promising locks; Thornbury and Beirne, who both can easily fill in for Flanagan.johng wrote:Leaves us with

Re: Mark Flanagan is off?
Hate losing players and Flanagan had a few noticeable moments on the field, but he is young and a couple of yrs abroad would serve him well. Ben Marshall has leaped him in the order of merit.

Re: Mark Flanagan is off?
Thornbury is a quality player, but he's got some knee issues from having grown in size and bulk a bit too soon for his joints. Hopefully it'll correct itself over time, but he's not firing on all cylinders until it does.Keith wrote:We also have the two VERY promising locks; Thornbury and Beirne, who both can easily fill in for Flanagan.johng wrote:Leaves us with

Re: Mark Flanagan is off?
have a feeling Leo will be used quite sparingly next year, well maybe 50% matches he'll startjohng wrote:Leaves us with

if other internationals around I'd rest Leo 50/50 when it comes to HC
but mccarthy will miss half the year with national side
HC home Toner, McCarthy with Leo on bench
HC away (bad weather) Leo, Toner with McCarthy at 6 Roux on bench
Rabo Leo, Toner with Roux on bench

Re: Mark Flanagan is off?
With POC back fit, McCarthy might be available a fair bit. Normally players who aren't in the XV are made available that bit more.

Do you expect POC to remain fit? Unlikely given his record and ageceemec wrote:With POC back fit, McCarthy might be available a fair bit. Normally players who aren't in the XV are made available that bit more.
( but then again the number of games he played over the last few seasons will extend his career)

bench means he's released for some gametime if starting locks fit for 2 league gamesolaf the fat wrote:Do you expect POC to remain fit?

Re: Mark Flanagan is off?
Yeah. I was going to mention the possibility that it could be POC/Ryan starting, with Henderson covering lock from the bench.ceemec wrote:With POC back fit, McCarthy might be available a fair bit. Normally players who aren't in the XV are made available that bit more.

happy days for us but cant see that happening too much until Henderson regularly starts there for Ulster (Joe's first diktat?)Degz wrote:Yeah.

no harm having Mccarthy and Henderson on bench if we've 2 locks with bad injury profiles starting or even a 6-2 split on bench? Reddan and Madigan would cover 9 10 12 15 directly, Kearney can fill in on a wing, most 12s can cover 13
Nottingham have also signed fromer Leinster A lock Neilus Keogh
but lost the wonderfully named Dante Mama
If Flanagan gets lonely their hooker is Joe Duffey
