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

IIRC Lynn has her own Sparky suit.
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.

Gender is a social construct

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