And now one of the coaching positions is filled with Rhys Lovegrove supporting Mikey. What the eff is going on ?

At least he is familiar with club having played in our first championship campaign in 2015.

All very odd. Have we got Wembley fever? All positive though, albeit late in the day.

Maybe Hughes has had a nod from IMG and been told he needs to make things less of a loving shambles.

Don't forget the padded seat and rarefied atmosphere.

Neil Armstrong was quoted as saying that there was more atmosphere on the moon than at a Broncos game, but I think that's a lil harsh.

All true DC and Buzz was referring to the North South and West stands when he spoke of ‘magnificent desolation’.

If IMG have given anything to Hughes, let's hope it's directions to the door!

He was very well thought of here and by management as well but I think he comes from Widnes and I think his abortive move to Ottawa, who I think were due to play out of Widnes, and then to Widnes itself the following season when we went PT suggests as he got into his later 20s he was looking to move back home. We’re definitely a more attractive option rugby wise than last season but for someone looking to settle down etc London prices, especially housing, comes into play. But it’s possible he has something work wise lined up down south. Is so great all around (for us).

Find this an odd signing to be linked with tbh. Whilst I don't think we are in a position to turn anyone down and he'd bring some good experience, hooker isn't exactly a position we currently have a depth issue with. Unless Dean is heading out the door, which would be a massive loss.
