Bobby Bridge gives us his ratings:

Other than being generous to Marcus, who had a poor first half. I don't think FB is his best position. I pretty much agree with BB.
You can all guess who was the 'man possessed' ;D
-
Would have thought Lima deserved a reasonable score. Bobby taking a lead from DW? 😀😀
-
Lima had a really good game. Would think about playing him there from the start of the Glaws game. It seems to suit his style better.
-
Agreed Lima has looked good at FB twice on the trot now

I think Lima's missing rating was a typo by BB.

Hence the smilies.
-
Fekitoa is showing the skills he displayed when he was still in NZ. A great acquisition.
I assume from the comments that Lima replaced Watson as FB?
-
Welsh Wasp, yes. Lima replaced Watson at fb, Watson moved to wing. Lima also came on for FB last week, think he is suited there as a second playmaker. Similar to Le Roux Cipriani axis.
-
I feel that Lima has not adjusted well to the "in your face" treatment he gets at 10 in the Premiership and so I am really pleased he is at FB where he can show his doubted but undoubted skills.
-
Yes he had a tendency to sit quite deep at 10 so a 2nd playmaker at 15 would seem to suit him.
He would not be the first very good premiership 10 to cut his teeth at full back. It's just unfortunate it took a year to try something different.
If he can get anywhere near WLR/Beale levels across 15/12/10 then he might start representing value for money.

Article now shows him as a 7 - same as the other subs

Does anyone know Willis's contract situation. As each week brings another outstanding display I feel ever more desperate for us to get the cheque book out and offer him something big.
-
Given Coventry telegraph mentions all the out of contract players at start of season, think Willis is still under contract. I reckon 3 years, so will want to re sign next season.
Only players we need to keep our eyes on are Young, Sops and Shields.
-
I thought he was out of contract soon. Not that I expect him to be going anywhere. I think we'll hear soon enough. Lots more going on right now and I don't think we can blame the club for drip-feeding the good news, there hasn't been much over the last year, so the fact we are playing well may delay the announcements a little.

Taking re-assurance from that. Personally I don't mind when they tell us as long as he's secured. The other three I'd like to see tied down are Carr, Shields and Young.

Cruse was the other one rumoured to be out of contract this year with Bristol sniffing around

I'd be very sad to see Tom leave, but with Oghre hitting his stride, and Barbeary in the system as well I wouldn't blame him for looking elsewhere.

Has been and is a great player for us, mobile with good hands, great shame if he goes but Bristol would suit his playing style (I think).

With them and Willis x 2 and Ashley, we can put out an international standard backrow most weeks and with Taylor and Brookes - 2/3's of an international standard front row and good SR options. Its good to see quality up front. I hope we can keep Brad as watching him before England crooked him, he was real quality and an asset to any team.
-
I'd love to hold onto Cruse for one more season, would prefer Barbeary get a proper season with Nottingham under his belt.

Have there been any announcements about us signing or losing any players next season? I can’t remember seeing anything.

Nothing. Nada.

Has there been anything on us losing players except for Searle? Can't remember any?
Squad stability would be nice. If we don't lose many, I'm really happy not to sign many either.
-
Totally forgot him, plus Neal left to go to the USA (and promptly broke his hand), and Myall of course.
I suspect incoming academy prospects should cover all or most of our leavers. Hoping Thibaud stays ....
I wonder how long Matthews has on his contract? He joined in 2018/2019, so this would be his second year.

Not heard of him, which position does he play?
