Jackman really can't settle on a hooker mind.

Just saw Simon Thomas tweet Leon Brown has suffered a second concussion. If that's so, I wonder if that means the first wasn't really dealt with properly?

Are you sure ? I've read it that he suffered a concussion so he hasn't been picked INCASE he suffers another.

Henson injured in training, back for Friday's game hopefully.

Kirchner is not a 10, sooner Jackman get this out of his head the better.

That said no excuses for not using Robinson or Henson when they are fit to bench, they should start

Dorian's got another year on his contract

It's OK, you'll have a Merthyr boy at 10 next season, at least he can bring some culture to that end of the world. Very Happy

So all the positions I highlighted at the start of the season (10 being one of them) we still haven't recruited in and time's running out. We don't need an amateur from Merthyr, BJ get pillaging the S15 ffs.

To be fair, the “amateur” from Merthyr will probably be capable of knocking a kick or two over.

A bit like most 10's then really. Wasn't he only considered LV cup standard until they Bath had injuries at fly-half?

Popped up Ebbw for training, seeing as I’m off. I know the injury update said Griffiths is close, but he seems very comfortable and doesn’t look strapped or anything.

Can’t see Henson here though.

Haha. No. But he was there strutting about a lot for somebody who isn’t very good at his job (attack coach Rolling Eyes )

I wonder if the guy running plays at ten was Meyer actually. If he has longer hair than normal, it was him.

Makes a lot of sense, played here for EV and can't be worse than Kirchner. I'd go Dozzer personally but obviously BJ is not a fan

It does seem to be Dorian starting. I can't pretend to be his biggest fan (although every ten has their weaknesses), but there is no doubt he can kick his goals (well he is in great form for Ebbw) and he will be familiar with Fortress Eugene.

I've looked at the squad list (and I am aware I could've done that first of all Rolling Eyes ) and my best bet is it was Sam Beard. Ollie Griffiths was also defending at centre a fair bit and did jar his left ankle (which he then ran off).

Backrow seemed to be Shanks, Jumbo and Keddie for a lot of run throughs, which will probably be right for this game with Griffiths to come off the bench.

It was enjoyable there for the Saints game, even given the weather. I have been looking forward to going back, particularly as it is relatively easier to get to for me (rail) and am looking forward to trying some new pubs Friday, as last time I had to drive.

I had some really wild nights there back in the 90's. My mate used to run the Bridge, or The Bridgend Hotel as it used to be called. It was especially good on a match day. I love EXP, one of my favourite places to watch a game, why Dragons do not play their more often is beyond me.

I was lucky to get a lift but public transport there and back on a Friday after work is a nightmare unless the infrastructure has improved ?

Over on the PRO14 Whingefest thread a poster (they reckon its PhillBB) is claiming that according to a good source Henson has not been playing because his appearance fees are too expensive and we can’t afford them/refuse to pay them? Surely this is absolute bollix?

He was looking for 80,000 extra smackeroos per game if game was against a top three side in the conference. I have my own sources and this is what I got told when I asked them to confirm Phi...RugbyFan's assertions.

That poster doesn’t seem to be Phil, but he is clearly a Gwlad poster given that it seems to be that circle that’s spreading it. I don’t buy it, but if it’s true then they wouldn’t have had to concoct an injury surely?

My understanding (via Chris Kirwan in the Argus a while ago) is Henson has another year automatically activated on his contract because of appearances made and so if he was in danger of requiring payment that we “can’t afford”, I’d suggest it would never have got that far and he would’ve had his appearances staggered some more.

As I posted on Gwlad one thing is for sure even at 36 years of age Gavin Henson can look back on a career that has been a case study in resilience and how to come back quickly from the injuries inherent in the modern game.

Yep, it was handy driving up yesterday and seeing where Ebbw Vale Town station is in relation to the ground. It’s literally turn left out of it, under the viaduct thing and you’re there. Easy really (well for me anyway).

I’m not sure what pubs to use, but The Bridge by the ground did look pretty decent and I did like the fact the club had Thatchers on tap (before it became more widespread).

I think I just drank in their small bar and then the clubhouse

I had some really wild nights there back in the 90's. My mate used to run the Bridge, or The Bridgend Hotel as it used to be called. It was especially good on a match day. I love EXP, one of my favourite places to watch a game, why Dragons do not play their more often is beyond me.

What apart from losing all their corporate hospitality income and it being miles away for the vast majority of their season ticket holders? Yeah, mystery

A magical mystery, step right this way.
Ewe on the bus?

Not this time, had another Stone Clone for Xmas. He has taken to night time sleeping like Zane Kirchner to the no10 position

Very Happy

All going to plan isn't it?

Well, we have a ground and a coach for next season so, comparatively, yes.  

Laugh

With regards to coaches departing etc (fnaar, fnaar), I wonder how many will be departing from Dave this evening? Half a dozen at least, shewerly? Bloos used to put on two at Leckwith, IIRC. Free though they were for ST holders.
