With reference to the last blog and the Mr Ilks…
I wouldn’t see Moriarty as much of a loss. He’s on daft money, barely plays, has already had Wainwright go way beyond him. Griffiths and Basham both have a higher ceiling, too.
You can get two good players who’ll play more often. Team Wales regulars are shocking value.

I became unemployed today. Apparently I’ve done loads of awesome work and helped them out massively. Documents I’ve written are being sent to top top management. Changed the framework and culture of finance. Amazing job, high fives all round.
Don’t need me anymore. I couldn’t sleep until 3am last night out of sheer fucking nerves.
Getting smashed tonight.

Sorry to hear about the knee/foot misfortune there Thaum. I can only echo the recommended treatment regime and the expressions of sympathy and best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
Haven’t watched any rugby since the RWC but not to worry, the SouperPreSeason prolly starts just after the new year.
