Agreed!

He's a good player.

I'm looking forward to seeing him in a Gloucester Rugby shirt next season. I'm also looking forward to Travis's latest update.

Anybody got an update to this?

Travis was doing a really brilliant job , but he hasn't posted since April 4th!

Think he may be the serial poster, just shows what he could do if he wanted to. Apologies if I'm wrong.

Really?

He's been a member under that name since 2006, has over 200 posts under the same name and was doing a great job keeping track of all the comings and goings.

Seems odd behaviour for a troll!

It does seem odd but then again there are a lot of troll like comments backing up travis or agreeing with his point of view (some with 200+ posts) which would suggest a link between the two or hopefully coincidence.

Apart from Locke and Cowan recently any one got any leads on any future signings? or is it all dead untill new coaches have been organised?

Andy Long, and I think from what Brush said before legging it that we are expecting another back (either winger or utility) to be announced... at least he said a hooker and a utility back I recall. Long was announced so... just a guess mind.

Updated On Behalf of Travis following the confirmed signing of Jimmy Cowan and Andy Long.

Notes
(EQ) = England Qualified (important for RFU payments).
- Kiwi Tim Molenaar may be EQ on residency grounds (joined Nottingham in 2004). Due to his ancestry, he is also a Dutch passport holder so he can not be classed an overseas player.

Is Yann not an academy player still? not sure - he looks like he's gonna be a useful squad player in the future - he always looks like he enjoys himself when he gets on the pitch. Likewise I expect to see robson as 3rd choice scrum half but obviously is still academy status.

It looks like we need another lock as well as another winger (not happy with only having 3 of each when two are needed on the pitch) or are we gonna be relying on the likes of savage and markham to fill in the gaps?

Yann is listed as a full squad member on the website (http://www.gloucesterrugby.co.uk/rugby/squad.php) but I agree he does get amongst it and should be a reliable In future.

I also feel we are stretched at lock (4&5 that is... not Drew...) and although bucko does a good job as cover I'd rather have him at 6 and have a specialist in the second row. I also think neither James or Brown have been great this year and would rather have another reliable second row to partner big Jim.

According to the yorkshire post gloucester have signed a very pacy winger by the name of
Shane Monaghan has played for Ireland under 18/20s plays for Rotherham ..

Just for info, Dave King's web page gives the contract expiry year for each player in the squad, where known.
