yep, especially they were still damp from the week before.

no surprise to see the U23 lot being given the bibs


+1 then there was always the faff of having to put them away.

No surprise indeed.




REAL MEN play skins v vests

I remember playing skins once and blocked a shot which left a mark for days.

But then I am a lightweight, apparently

We run with the rule washed them doesn't wear them. So you just try to always wangle being on the team of the last person to. wash them, or wash them yourself.

Gone are the days when I could name every single player on such photos ... don't recognise half of them. Or is that because it includes U23s?

No Joao and Puscas? Reckon Puscas maybe the Covid positive if that’s the case

Two trialists involved as well

Assuming it’s Lazaar and Edwards who are the trialists
Believe Holmes and McIntyre have recently been in isolation, hence the exclusion from the squad

Still no Araruna anywhere and if anyone was debating the return of McNulty, then there’s your answer

Wow - we really do have a thin squad. Even including Tetek as one of our 17 remaining "senior" players only 9 make the squad tonight. The other 8 all missing for one reason or another.
