The stats are what they are I guess and there is nothing hugely worrying there.

Interesting that passes went up by 50 %.

He’s a good lad by all accounts and should be a useful addition.

Seems to like an offload as well, a tactic that might just suit us with him playing inside big Stu.

Another interesting stat... John Afoa signed for Gloucester 2 months before it was announced Humphreys was taking charge there. History repeating itself?

Are you suggesting that Billy will turn up ... play 2 or 3 awesome games ... get bored then cry off, phone it in for the rest of the season, fly round the world at URs expense and then sign a massive new contract with some English club after our CEO tells the world he's basically a paraplegic waiting to happen?

I wasn't aware that's what happened when Afoa went to Gloucester >EW

Knowing the character I honestly believe that she would make a first class Sparky, real fun person who will put a lot of effort into it, look forward to the fight with Leo, he won't know what hit him.

If she gets the post will Sparky be officially transgender?
Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.

Gender is a social construct

When Sparky went tranny all those years ago we should have respected xer wishes
