Andy raleigh was a very good second row for us but was not exactly pulling up tress as a prop. Most of our fansw ere quite critical of his propping ability but we all seem to forget that.

Quite, played every game, players player, coaches player and was it supporters player in 2009.. a few injuries have hammpered him. Browny has not seen him play for a prolonged period and that obviously affects judgement. get him in for a few weeks and let him do his talking on the field. He was playing well at the back end of last season, only to be replaced by Kirmond, who came back from Wakey. That has to get your confidence. Sometimes you get the feeling your face just does not fit. But then you get a 3 year deal

Yep, my thoughts entirely. Hard work ethic, produces week-in, week-out and then sidelined.....Why?
This is one thing that has frustrated me with quite a few players over the years where they have been dropped when they give their all.
Oh, whilst I think on, I know Danny to Wakey was part of the 'Brough' deal, but if Andy was playing so poorly, how come he wasn't sent there? Bloody annoys me, it really does.

Not sure Raleigh will get near first team this season. Saw him for reserves, didn't do enough even in under 20s. Nice guy though.

Browny named him as No16 for the season. he clearly sees him as an important member of the squad, but due to his eye injury at the wakey game pre season he was unavailable for the wire game and is just waiting for his chance to play.

Raleigh just needs to work hard and be ready when he gets his chance. The current players are playing well, if they lose form or get injured then I am sure he will get his chance, then it is down to him to prove he can't be dropped. Brown has proved time and time again that if you play well enough he will pick you for a run of games.

Horne is improving. Defence is pretty good, and backing up for last weeks try.
Well done Horne keep it up.
