4 weeks without a ruup ..

[Davros]

…. no wonder the boys can’t see straight to kick goals. Mind you, they should be better at getting a much firmer grip on their tackles (unlike last week).

But seriously folks, I know we can all speculate but does anyone really know what is up with the following:

BETHERAS: Why isn’t he in the team – last year he was a star. Did he have an interrupted pre-season? Is he carrying an injury now? Is he in Malthouse’s bad books (even when he is selected he spends most of the game on the bench – a bit hard to show your skill or lack of it)? Or is he just having a bad start to the year? I just hope it sorts itself out because we need Rupert back as soon as possible!

DAVIS: He’s been flat for most of the year. Is he just missing his best mate Nick or is he injured? Hope he gets over it soon, because we need his best to help us out this year.

FREEBORN: I’ve been told he retired is that true? If not why can’t he get a game this year?

KINNEAR: Will he ever be given a game – if not why bother keeping him on the list? It is better for him to give him a new lease on life.

RICHARDSON: as for Kinnear (excluding his recent injury). I suppose there isn’t a big enough pool of players to replace all those now in the second tier.
