I wonder what Siejka is doing this season? Maybe he should get into the music industry. There is plenty of precedent. The New Siejkas, and before them, The Siejkas (with the unmatched voice of Judith Durham). Then there was "The Siejka", a big hit for The Who and still a great record. I remember Kula Siejka who had a huge hit more recently. Are there any I've missed?

The obvious one, Harry Siejka. If I ruled the world, every day would be the first day of spring

I don't remember Kula Seaker. I remember Kula Shaker though that wouldn't work would it?

That one was too good for you, but don't be sad, it's not your fault that you don't know the name Kula Shaker was itself inspired by the Indian Emperor Kulasekhara. I blame today's appalling dumbed-down minimalist educational system.

Could be good for us if he signs for them. One less club competing with us if a 7 becomes available later.

caprice not offered a deal either. Cant help thinking both caprice and jacks were just given trials to distract attention from club releasing two of our better players in mullaney and nielsen and not replacing them.

Maybe the money that could have been used for Caprice and/or Jacks was spent on Mathers?

Maybe. But they've said we will be looking at strengthening as season goes on so you would think there's a decent amount still in pot. Thought we'd have given caprice longer in particular given he was coming from union. Expecting him to get upto speed with a different set of rules and make an impression in time he was given seems a bit harsh.

I believe London have offered Jacks a contract,hes waiting to see if Sheffield offer him one

Should we of given him more time to solve our scrum half problem

Hard for anyone to say when we haven't seen enough of him.

London wanting him isn't a sure fire sign he could have been good for us. Equally, him not looking good enough when on trial, isn't a sure fire sign he wouldn't have come good and got us promoted.
