I do not find myself agreeing very often with Captain Morgan but I do share his concern re what appears to be the lack of a second quality hooker in the squad if Chris Thomas should get injured. I know we still have Leighton but if he is going to concentrate on propping then he is not the answer. We let Leicester snatch a promising Pontypool lad from under our noses in Rhys Williams and now Feo, who could have done an excellent job for us, has gone to Coventry. We appear to be missing the boat. -- Pontypool RFC Message Board
