Re: Hodge's Heroes
GG was supposed to be off to Toulon last year but recurring injuries scuppered that and he belatedly signed back on at Embra. Wouldn't be surprised to see this resurrected.

Re: Hodge's Heroes
I would considering he doesn't look to be back to his former level yet. Will be dissapointed if we lose him before he gets there as he's got loads of talent if he can hit top form.

Re: Hodge's Heroes
Not surprising given they liked him pre injury and if they liked him before then his recent form could be excused in their minds.Adder wrote:Rumours of talks between GG and Toulon.
His form has been no more than ok for a while so before throwing money I'd want to see some form return.

They also pointed that Joe Tekori, Jonny Gray,Lood de Jager had said no to the RCT and that they were also after Leandro Cedaro (28, 1 sélection with Italy) and Masalosalo TutaiaLe Midi Olympique avance également que "les contacts avec Grant Gilchrist (26 ans, 12 sélections avec l'Ecosse), à deux doigts de venir la saison précédente, auraient récemment été réactivés.
The Midi Olympique is also stating that "Contacts with GG, who nearly joined the previous season, have recently been reactivated" "

Re: Hodge's Heroes
Hoyland did well to look up on his try.
CDP was amazing for Bradbury's try.

I wouldn't mind GG going . Never really known how good he is but a move to a top team could give him some recognition

Re: Hodge's Heroes
Their pack is not as rampaging as usual. Mourrad and co are blaming players who aren't being capped for not showing up.Cameo wrote:Fair point, and they seem to be in a bit of turmoil at the momentAdder wrote:There are numerous young promising French players who's careers have crumbled over there.Adder wrote:

Classic Mourrad.

Re: Hodge's Heroes
Hardie out for a couple of months after surgery. I suppose the upside is that the guy actually gets a rest, and it means more game time for the Enbra Young Team.

Edinburgh leading in Newport 0-7
Bradbury lucky to just get penalised after taking out the kicker after.

Penalized for a high tackle on a charge down.
Seriously this league is a laughing stock.

Re: Hodge's Heroes
This ref is abysmal. Says held and then let's the Dragons winger crawl another few metres forward.

Re: Hodge's Heroes
Not a day for the defences. Dragons score after an interception followed by some good hands. Game looks like a training run.
24-12 . 27th minute

It's a good game. Edinburgh look very dangerous and are prob placing a bit loose.

Hoyland Kinghorn looking like a handful every time they touch it. Tovey and Kennedy really speeding it up as well.
The ref has a strange definition of off your feet
