I seem to remember Briers saying (admittedly when Wrench was younger and before injuries) that Wrench was faster than Ashton over 100m from a standing start? Whereas Ashton is faster hitting the ball running, or something to that effect? Or maybe it was the other way round.



I'd have to try and google it. Think it was in the guardian a few years back.

Beat me too is

Agreed, and because of our alleged interest, they will be paying him a lot more on their Salary Cap than what he is worth, in order to retain him.

Assuming Vaughan, Musgrove and Tai go back to Australia next year we’ll have 3 quota places available. Fitzgibbon may also go back but I’m not sure when his deal expires. Be interesting to see who we’re after. Definitely need at least a couple of props and a back rower to add to Byrne coming in.

Fitzgibbon's deal is to November 2026.

One forward in the Vaughan mould (long minutes / yardage), and one big bopper (short bursts of disruption) please.
