Subject: Game in Doubt?

Just read on the Llanharan site that Ebbw Vale are trying to pull out of tomorrow's game because we can't raise a full squad/team to take down there.

Llanharan are refusing to call it off because, (and I quote) "no one has had worse injury problems than us, yet somehow we managed to fulfil our obligations". It is of course complete nonsense.

If they have been playing with all those "alleged" injuries, perhaps that is why their playing record is so poor. Dennis John is canny enough to know that they need to play us right now while we are depleted and out of form, as it would be their only chance of getting a result.

Of course if we pull out without their full cooperation, we will be deducted points, as has already happened to Newbridge and Bridgend. This is what they obviously want being in the deep cak that they are in.

I only hope that later in the season if/when they want us to do them a favour, we return the compliment by telling them to get stuffed.

Now, knowing the extent of our problems with injuries I am not looking forward to the game as I feel that we have little or no chance. With a fully fit squad to pick from I have every confidence that we would take them, but this latest injury crisis has put a different perspective on it. Never mind, even if we have to wait until April to beat them, I�m sure it will be all the sweeter.

Ive forgotten now but what was the reason our original game against them was postponed? In any case, the WRU can and have docked points off sides for failing to have fit teams and calling games off. We HAVE to play it realistically or there'll be yet another hearing. Speaking of those, anyone know if Coutts' panel was tonight? (NT) -- -, 01:16:36 02/09/05 Wed
- The weather was the reason for the first game. They then tried to sneak it in for a Friday night which inconvienient for us, but as it wasn't an official wru-agreed rearranged date, they couldn't do anything about us refusing to play. However, this one is an official date, so we have to play or get docked. (NT) -- Graham, 01:24:18 02/09/05 Wed
  - If it was weather and done within the rules we cant really force them to postpone. If worst comes to the worst we play it with what we've got. If we lose we dont lose points, if we refuse to play then we will. 0 is better than -3 worse case. (NT) -- -, 01:57:32 02/09/05 Wed
    - Can't argue with that. The last thing we want is to be docked again. (NT) -- Graham, 02:22:08 02/09/05 Wed
- I've been looking everywhere to find some news on Ben to no avail. I have no doubt he's in for a large ban. Shame really, we could have done with him for the Llanharan game. (NT) -- Graham, 01:27:46 02/09/05 Wed
