The best turnover operators seem to be big lads (Nick, Jean or T Beirne) or little ones (Rory, Hamish Watson or Cubby).

Reidy and Timoney bring different things to the table.
Please dont call him cubby

I couldn't remember his real name at the time.

I get confused with all these Davies, Jones and Evans etc.
Racist.

Questionable if he’d come here after Bryn told him to do one...
I dunno, we were carrying a lot of long term injuries in the back row at that time, Bryn was just covering his ass . I would imagine Botha would've understood that... mind you, i don't believe the rumour.

We're signing him for spare parts.

Bit like going to a scrapyard though, you could go home with a bit not much better than the bit you are replacing

Simple logic - if you acquire enough South African back row knees, eventually you’re bound to get two in working order attached to the same player.

Not so sure GUBU ... I see it more like Schrodinger's Cat's knees ... before you observe them on the pitch any Saffers knees may be both working and not working at the same time ... once he runs out onto the pitch .. they're fecked.

One year contract.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Talking of the durability of Saffers, Franco played more minutes than anyone else in the Lionel League this season.
