scottyfan 824 Posted May 12, 2023 Also the Weymouth Wildcats saviour in 1980….R.I.P Mervyn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottyfan 824 Posted May 12, 2023 Will never forget one of Mervyn’s first signings for Weymouth back in 1980 on a FREE transfer from Reading……Simon Wigg…..That has to be one of the best transfers ever. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a Poole fan but Rew in for the challenge match and Hagen felt like a trial run. If Hagon is coming in for roynon, which would seem harsh, then Rew or the other Aussie makes sense, has Rowe completed a UK season yet above NL? the Polish u24s run on a Wednesday don’t they? Pretty common knowledge that’s where his priorities are Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted May 20, 2023 Rowe has done well so far this season. Done exactly what is expected of him. Adam though has tailed off after a bright start. Silly falls allowing points to slip, followed by tailed off on Wednesday don’t bode well. If he goes Plymouth will surely jump in for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roynon to Plymouth would make sense but who for? They won’t drop Trigger and can’t imagine Turner being dropped this soon, they did with Goret though I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
