The way I look at it is that we have four genuinely quality players:
Percival
Lomax
Walmsley (when he fancies it)
Roby
We have some good players who are decent pros and good journeymen but players that could never be described as top bracket:
Smith
Amor
Fages
Wilkin (although he's close to bottom bracket these days)
Taia
We have a couple of good players at club level who would never make internationals:
Swift
Makinson
The young, nice but will never do owt bracket:
Thompson
Knowles
Fleming
Ashworth
Then we have the sack of shite bracket:
Owens
Morgan
Peyroux
Walker
Lee
Douglas
Scarsbrook
Richards
There isn't an ounce of pace in the whole lot of them and very little class.
Cunningham is clearly a clueless coach, but anyone who actually thinks we have a squad capable of honours is more deluded than Deluded Dunders. Quite frankly, it's the worst squad of players we've had in the 30 years I have been going by some distance.
