Oxford and Birmingham playing Scrabble to complete their teams?

We must meet up at Iwade next year..

Ho ho ho ho ho lol

Glad to see you put your tinny down for a minute, not really up to date with the other teams apart from Glasgow but i think your right they need 2 or 3 to step up to avoid a poor season. They were lucky having Masters & Cook + Pickering latterly, to build around for so long. Makes it so much easier when you have a real #1 to hold the team. But Pullover signing & the Swede show at least one thing Edinburgh did well, looking for improvers, not just guys who stay the same. Thomson's signing is a bit of a surprise as he hasn't really improved or even looked like he would jump up the avs. But if Paco can finally break the mould i suppose Thomson can too, Lasse got dropped yet never really settled due to constant injuries, mostly not his fault, Thomson doesn't have that excuse.  

Edinburghs team building has fallen right off the last few years. Bottom of the table battle with Plymouth this side. 

Watching him continually getting beaten by riders on his inside & outside as he valiantly ploughs a furrow mid track is poor, irrespective of his average. why he lasted whole season & max james wasn't given at least some of the easier reserve rides at least as a trial surprised me, edinurgh are usually more brutal with underperforming riders.
