This player should be signed by Glaws asap. Extremely mobile and fast to the breakdown where he thrives as a scavenger. Creates tries by spotting any gaps in the opposition defence and exploiting them. Links well with his backs. Scores tries and will help create them. Good in defence as well.Would give us an option in the mix at 7 with Q.

RTS1 - surely the Pirates aren't going to be too impressed with your mission to promote all their players into the Premiership?!

Burgess looks a handful, how good are his dark art 7 skills? Whilst Q has been a great acquisition, he's not in the Hazell mould. AH is terrific as a terrier to the breakdown and when the ball's loose on the floor. That's the skill we need in the squad.

LO; I am not promoting any other player from Pirates at the moment. He is the only player in their squad that I consider good enough all round to be promoted to Glaws and or any other Premiership team. I just think he would fit the bill 100% and Haze isn't getting any younger although still an immense player for us. He is the same sort of size as Haze but a little taller and heavier but he has the pace of a winger.He is fast to the breakdown and effective in that department always scavenging which is what we need.

He would give us an alternative option to Q in matches and would throw that into the mix. Even if he was dual-signed for now it would stop any other club getting him signed and he'd get the opportunity to show ND exactly what he is capable of doing. In my opinion he fits the squad to a tee ( like I suggested about Cookie on here a month ago)Hope ND takes a serious look at him .

For the record I do feel kind of a bit of a "Pirate" myself in being seeing to want to raid the Pirates Ship.It's just a co-incidence that two of the best players in the Championship over the last two season have been Pirates players ie RC and PB.Its also a credit to them as a Club that they nurture and spot such talent themselves.

Also, I do think that with all the players we have had from them over the last 5 seasons that we should all get behind their stadium for Cornwall petition with Cornwall County Council. Would be great to see the Pirate's crew in the Shed in a couple of seasons. I am sure if they get there we will make them welcome.



We need cover at 5 and loose head as well.
