Good performance by a good Caley lad Walker on Friday.

Good performance by a good Caley lad Walker on Friday.

wasn't it just!

I've been following him through age grade and S6. Good player but always had a feeling that he was too slightly built to play TH professionally, and could drift out of the game at that level. Only one game but it sure was an impressive one, so I'm hoping to have called it wrong

[Big D]

MFagerson has had an operation on an arm fracture (above his plate) and Rob Harley to leave at the end of the season.

[Mikey Brown]

Is that same injury from the 2nd round?

Hard to imagine Harley at another club. France or Japan?

not sure he fits what either French or Japanese clubs would want, not top level ones anyway.

I can see him wanting to add a bit more than just playing. LS or Old Glory spring to mind. Bright lad is Big Bad Bob, top bloke as well. But time catches up with as all sadly. Total legend at Glasgow

[Cameo]

Is that same injury from the 2nd round?

No, I think he did his ankle in the second round. This is a repeat of an injury he had a year or two back.

Probs right that Harley moves on. As you say, not really a blockbuster player who you can imagine anyone paying big money for but hopefully gets some kind of deal somewhere if he wants one. Otherwise some kind of Super Six player coaching arrangement isn't beyond the realms of possibility (though he may just want to do something different).

Glasgow beat Zebre with some ease without being exactly brilliant themselves. Targetted Zebre lineout/maul defence with huge success, most of the 6 tries coming off that.
Not a lot to be excited about, except maybe Walker quietly and effectively went about his business on his 2nd start at TH; and held his own, maybe got the slightly the better of the very highly rated current Italian LH Fischetti

They started well but stormers were just soo good.

Brace was a typical arse about stuff.

[whatisthejava]

Some of their tries were forward, but asking the TMO or asst refs in SA is pointless

[Cameo]

Big injury problems at Glasgow. Darge now out with a kneee injury, possibly for the rest of the season.

In better news, Gregor Brown is tipped to get a chance. He was great for his two games last year (or was it the year before) before he got a horrible injury.

[Still septic]

Huw Jones no longer a Scot abroad as of next season.
Back to Warriors. Another Rennie fuck up corrected

[Mikey Brown]

Interesting. Saw that suggested a while back before he hit a good run of form for Quins.

Will be interesting to see if he can really nail down a spot, and where. Watchibg him fail to permanently displace Grigg was bizarre, but maybe just didn’t click with the Rennie’s style?

[Cameo]

I think that has to be good news. Please please let him get back to top form.

[Cameo]

Team for probably Galsgow's last game of the season named. Probably the biggest news from me is Gregor Brown starting. I think he only played a couple of games before his big injury but he looked ready for a big breakthrough.

6-2 split on the bench feels like a big call. One early injury and it'll be a long rest of the march. Not that it'll matter.

[Big D]

Embarrassing.

No doubt there will be calls for Wilson to go but some players really need a long hard look in the mirror.

Genuinely, shockingly bad. So much that is bad about Glasgow as individuals and as a team was brutally exposed over and over again. Leinster didn't even have to be all that good, they just had to run with the ball.

I didn't see it. What went so wrong?

[Scottish Caley Fan]

I'm neutral and even I'm beginning to wonder how Danny Wilson can survive this .

I knew Leinster would take last week out on Glasgow but not that much :O.

[Cameo]

Really worrying. Leinster have a much better squad but not to that degree. Not that long ago I went to the final at Celtic Park thinking Glasgow had almost a 5050 chance against them.

He hasn't

[switchskier]

Winder whether Saturday's game was the tipping point or if was being considered regardless. But the performances have been underwhelming every time I've see them, even if there are some good young talents there. I still think that a really good lock would make a huge difference, but Edinburgh seem to be stockpiling.

The big question is who next? Roddy Grant maybe as the Ulster pack looks pretty good. Dalziel?

[no sleep]

Kitty!

[General Zod]

Wasn’t Ben Ryan strolling around the SRU corridors of power recently? Would be an interesting appointment and theoretically fit in well with the Warriors’ style, but arguably part of their problem is their lack of go-forward in contact up front, so I don’t know how good ryan would be at addressing that.
