Good LH signing. Think they probably need another LH this summer too.

Reid might benefit from a boost of out-of-comfort-zone-ness...?

Reid has been phenomenal this season and I have no idea why Cotter doesn't rate him. He's no Dickinson but he's a very, very good LH. Not sure how much of a 'boost' he needs.AL. wrote:Reid might benefit from a boost of out-of-comfort-zone-ness...?
You could argue a player is just as likely to disappear into the abyss of the AP.
I do hope Reid doesn't end up in the championship (need to check whether there are still play offs). I think he has a future under Toony at international level.

Not sure he has ever been consistent enough at international level for VC. Not sure he has ever had the chance tbf. He was pretty poor off the bench on Sunday, was good v Ireland though.

Managed to get 4 in the north stand, grumble grumble.. but will take it. Hardly surprising as the season ticket holders will have snapped up all the best ones along the touchline!

Got 8 in the west stand as I'm a previous saracens ticket buyer.. I knew the overpriced friendly tickets would come in handy one day.

PS. I pointed this out earlier in the thread. Sarries seem to have gone ST holders > previous visitors > wait list, etc
Weeg seem to have skipped the previous visitors to Scotstoun bit which is a bit annoying. Could opposition fans or scalpers not potentially get on the wait list?

Apologies, wasnt suggesting he was bad, just it may propel him further a la Laidlaw, Scott and the likes.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:Reid has been phenomenal this season and I have no idea why Cotter doesn't rate him.

Although I think Hogg was still worthy of international honours after he left Edinburgh.

Yup me too, think he was hurried on by a falling out with management which didn't do him any favours I don't think.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:And then you have Ally Hogg, Moray Low, etc....AL. wrote:Apologies, wasnt suggesting he was bad, just it may propel him further a la Laidlaw, Scott and the likes.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:

Even of the two examples given Im not sure it's clear Laidlaw has improved since leaving. His last (or perhaps second last, year at Edinburgh may have been his best.

Re: The Glasgow Carpet Burns and Cary Grant Appreciation Thread
Glasgow have sold every QF ticket at their disposal, including the extra blagged from sarries/EPCR (rumoured to be about 400). Given there'll be a fair few others wangling their way in through the local allocations, we could be looking at a third of Allianz park being filled by happy, noisy, pished, flag wielding weegies

Good signing for both. It's interesting though - I don't see Horne having a place in the Glasgow 1st XV but Toonie's rotation policy keeps all these players happy. I wonder if Rennie will do the same?Adder wrote:Horne has signed for 3 more years.

Re: The Glasgow Carpet Burns and Cary Grant Appreciation Thread
Injury list is getting smaller every week. Glad to see Uanivi back as well as Horne.
Not expecting this team to get anything in Belfast but we'll see..
Pyrgos being allowed to play himself into form?
