Thumbs up for me. Decent player who always delivers exactly what he’s meant to. I’d always choose “grafters” over “superstars”. Just look at Exeter. Having a pack consisting of Kalimafoni, McLoed and Cassiem would be outstanding. Serious grafters there.

Agree to a point but we certainly arent in the bargain bucket zone as we used to be. Which is the point Scarletnut and I were making.

I agree we are not in the bargain bucket (that is for dross like klim and gajon at the ospreys) but neither are we at the top end with players like snyman or Allende Our nwq now tend to be super 14 level or Aviva prem players, a step up from the semi pro level rubbish other regions sign but not elite level and that's fine we don't have elite level wages to throw at players I would put us alongside Edinburgh and Glasgow in the type of player we can fund , we are a tier below the best and a tier above the other welsh sides |

He’s 32 and like you say has concussion issues, Leicester can let this guy go because they have the likes of Jordan Taufua who we were apparently chasing a while ago before he chose Leicester. Would be more impressed if we tempted Tommy Reffell back.Simone been impressive in the past. But injuries combined with age are great. And I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong but we like other welsh sides don’t seem to keep players(or squads) fit for very long. I’d like hungry determined younger players with something to prove playing for us. I think we have enough experience in the squad.

I understand, but if you at the Scarlets squad on paper we all can see it’s phenomenal. Back line looks fantastic. These guys just can’t get on the pitch together enough. Between call ups(which I know is success) and massive injuries lists we don’t see these guys. I don’t know if it’s the player demographic (age/injury) or training regimes or over playing were not doing something correctly.

The Bristol newspaper had an article which included him coming to us and their take was that it was a v good signing for us. We’ll have to wait and see - sadly I think that blade is on his way - to possibly early retirement

cassiem has been a credit on and off the field and maybe with kalamafoni joining him we will have 2 powerful ball carrying no 8s something we have not had for a long time

I'd be happy to have Kalamafoni arrive. I think we as desperate for some dynamic ball carriers, and if he can provide that along with making hard yards, tying up opponent defenders, effective from 5 yards out, able to punch holes in defences and have supporting players running off his shoulder, and be effective in the rain they sing him up. He is however 31 but AWJ is coming up to 35. My biggest worry though is his concussion issues.
A player I'd love to see here, and there's an article about him on Wales Online, is Thomas Young. We are blessed in the back row currently, but if Blade is off, Shingler coming up to 32, and we still don't know if Cubby boi has had the operation that he was due to have, before the CoronaVirus started spreading. Young would add to our back row. And plus Cubby and Shingler might be in the Elite Wales 38 so we might not see them often. McCloud may join that group as well. Before all that though is there any news on Blade? I hope he comes through okay. We have some depth in our back row, but I'd like to see Ed Kennedy becoming a 5/6 option, the same as Shingler and Rawlins. Kennedy is big, strong, athletic and a good line out option. I think he'd be great in the tight 5. |
