Subject: One more chance Author: Lloyd [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 14:56:39 05/27/02 Mon Author Host/IP: spider-wd063.proxy.aol.com/205.188.193.178 Pontypool have to go up next season, it maybe our last chance. To do this Steve Jones (despite the fantastic job he has done in most respects) needs to pick his best side available for every game, and stop insisting on giving the lads a run out. Bob Jude also needs to get rid of Ben Jeffries and Chris Laudry. Laundry just hasn't got it, and Jeffries has just had too long to get fit and failed miserably - I suggest he gets a job in Burger King (apparently at the end of each shift the staff get to eat all the left over burgers!!!

But as far as Ben Jeffries is concerned we are not using him enough. He is big, strong, and powerful. The problem with him from what I can make out is the supporters think because he looks fat - he is crap. He could go places if the club had the forsight to see it. I agree with the comment about Landry - very run of the mill.

[> Subject: Re: One more chance Author: nick [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 01:03:46 05/29/02 Wed Author Host/IP: NoHost/194.168.218.249 I dissagree with the point about playing your strongest team week in week out. A squad is a Squad and each and every one of that Squad must be playing rugby on a regular basis. This shortsightedness is exactly what has led to the demise of club rugby in wales. why take a talanted youngster and make him sit on the bench getting splinters up his A**e every week, it is essential that young players are Blooded and given the oppotunity to play at a higher level of rugby so if one of the older, wiser better players if you want to call them that are unavailable then the young blood can fit in well and not sufer from stage fright

[> [> Subject: I won't disagree with that Nick. However, the squad was n't strong enough in the first half of the season. That's why we lost games against LLandovery, Whitland and Treorchy. No outside half. Author: Dave [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 01:19:29 05/30/02 Thu Author Host/IP: host62-7-61-33.in-addr.btopenworld.com/62.7.61.33 >
