In reply to: Tony 's message, "Dan Norton" on "Tue, May 24 2011, 10:14:53 GMT"

There was talk of Dan joining London Welsh, but I'd have him back any day. One problem i see with Dan is his England Sevens commitments.

Not so sure about Jack. I assume his plan was to join Bristol, get promoted and to be playing in the premiership... but as we all know that didn't happen. Having been released by Bristol, not sure he would be on the same upward trajectory as when he was DRed to us by Gloucester. Having said that I thought he was a great player for us.

Anthony Elliott also made a good impression with Bees a couple of seasons ago, which is why Bristol signed him.

Norton is a good player but why would any Championship team want someone who can only play less than half the games taking up valuable squad money?
I am sorry but both Adams and Elliott are on a career down and Bristol don't release people they think will enhance their squad.Adams is poor in defence and we all know what Mose play like when the midfield is open to opposition attacks! We would be better off looking elsewhere. I am sure Maggs with his contacts will soon have centre covered.

A quick look at the signings and departures thread on Rolling-Maul.com shows that Bristol's new head coach has revealed that he is operating on a reduced budget from last year. This is why Bris have released a number of players who I'm sure will have no problem getting contracts from other Championship clubs - Norton, Adams and Elliot included.
FWIW I think Adams would be a good signing for us - who better than Kevin Maggs to add the finishing touches to his game? and he'd certainly fit with Maggs' desire to play expansive rugby
