Merhtens

Jarvis back up for Mehrtens

I always wanted to see more of Ben Urdapilleta.  I thought he looked useful. Done well since leaving us.

NEV limited our recruitment options as anyone coming in pretty much knew they would be an understudy.

Indeed, and even as an understudy they'd only get a start if NEv were injured badly enough that he couldn't play at all, which limited their development. I'm not saying they would all have gone on to be internationals, but Clegg, Urdapilleta, Botica and Swiel were all players who could have improved in ability while with us, but were stuck with just bit roles...

Pretty sure Evans was retired by then

Luvenyali?

Botica was a decent player just had a couple of very major brain farts. Then again we did something similar against Saints this yeah, though not as glaringly bad.

Urdapilleta was ok but I think was too much of a utlity player for us so never got a chance to show what he could do as a proper back up.

Swiel was similar. Never really got a proper run at 10, seemed more of a utility sub.

Clegg was decent but not good enough really to be a prem starter. CoS trusted him to close out the final though.

I think Grimoldby has left Massy now but can't remember where he's gone

Jackson was pretty uninspiring
