yes but if he's not playing regular rugby for saints then we can try loan him for a couple of months might be worth a shot.

A mate of mine at work is mates with Kyle Eastmond, says he's currently injured at the minute due to some shoulder surgery in the off season.

If he was to come availible though, the fact he's Miles Greenwood's Cousin may just swing it. But I think he is part of Saint's Plans so doubt it would happen.

if we get matt james back i'd be happy to go with what we've got andmaybe if we're struggling with kicking in general play a stand off

we need a stand-off not a back rower

Hows about having a look at what young Bowman can do in the next couple of games?

May need to develop a bit - but he isn't going to do that sat in the stands!!

Why not give charlesworth a go he played his amatuer games at stand off and if he gets a gap no one will catch him

Harping back to earlier posts about a second team.

When the likes of Charlesworth, Bowman, Moore and other dont get picked for the first team, where on earth do they keep their match finess up and play themselves into the first team?

BTW. I dont mean where on earth geographically.

Calland has said previously that he may have to loan out some of the squad members who arent getting games to NL2 clubs.

I would hope the Bowman brothers, Graham Charlesworth , Cherryholme get 80 Minutes against Blackpool. With respect these players need to show what they can do and with respect to Blackpool these guys are easily good enough to cause them problems.
I would even be tempted to play young Bowman from the bench against Sheffield as if he is good enough he is old enough-look at how young the likes of Brad Fittler, Darren Lockyer, Shaun Edwards, Greg Inglis and Israel Folau were when they became first team regulars. I also think if Govin is injured when ever we need to have a player who knows the set up and the players know him not just in training but on the paddock. Take a risk!

I'm with giving Bowman and Charlesworth some gametime against Blackpool and Loughborough. Can Charlesworth kick?

If we are trying to get Flanagan, he can play stand off.
