Eliab needs game time and so a few weeks at Skolars seems sensible to me. Being picked in the first team for odd games at right centre hasn't done him much good.

I don't think Hendo has been particularly impressed with Keyes or Leatherbarrow at stand-off and hence we are currently running around with Bussey at 6. Personally, until Keyes or Eliab is ready for the first team, I'd play Cunningham there.

Considering Eliab was supposed to be the marquee signing for this season, he's been disappointing to say the least. And to think there was speculation on here that he only signed 1 year with us 'cos he was likely to be picked by a SL team.

Think bussey has been doing a great job but feel he plays more like a 9 still, we will be a better team if him and Cunningham rotating hooker with Barthau and either Keyes or Eliab if he performs in the halves.

I supect Israel is a confidence player and he does not have it at the moment. He could also be homesick and finding difficult adapting to a full time environment, London and a tougher dietary regime. He scored last week for Skolars and we should get a good look at him on Saturday at Skolars v Coventry. He may also be a warm weather player who likes hard pitches, I wish him good luck.

PP - So its either confidence, homesick, full time, overweight or soft pitches - or any combination of the 5.
