You might be right, Kimbo. Who knows. However, I do think the lack of communication can cause Chinese Whispers. As a club supporter, all I know is players are leaving. Some clarification on the matter from the club would be appropriate and welcome. |

Not sure it's anything to do with communication skills tbf. It seems to be policy.

I played for them from 1971 through to 1985 before moving away from the area. And I agree with you about the communication albeit their website is updated fairly regularly. So I am using this blog as a medium to see if their communication skills can improve. Let's see. |

How long have you been supporting Ampthill Cherub? As long as I have been aware of them - basically while they've been in tiers 2&3, they have never communicated.

Really? I can only assume Ampthill are reducing their outlay and looking to re-build the team next season without the threat of relegation. Even so, some communication from the club would be welcome. |

On this forum I read that four Ampthill players have now signed for other Championship teams. One has gone to Cornish Pirates and three have signed for Jersey. Yet when I go to the Ampthill RFC website there is nothing about this anywhere. I am therefore appealing to anyone in the know at Ampthill who reads this forum to post an update on next season’s recruitment and leavers.

Six backs for Jersey Reds: scrum-halves James Mitchell (from Donny), Harry Simmons (on loan from Leicester Tigers) & Will Lane (Loughborough), along with wings Ryan Olowofela (Saints) and Will Brown (Ampthill) and centre Jordan Holgate (most recently with Slava Moscow!) LINK

When the foreign player is a seasoned international, I have no problem - it is when the myriad of average journeymen players are taking up places that should be taken by young English Qualified players that I have a problem. The fact that most of them are South African is neither here nor their - Young players can only learn so much in training, they need consistent game time to develop (Marcus Smith being a prime example) |

I don't see that foreign players coming here or British players going abroad as a negative, young players can learn and the raising of standards of the sport in general is a positive. I agree that limits need to apply otherwise at the top level we can find we have no players in certain positions available for the National sides, so not a limit on how many per game, but maybe limit how many of certain positions in a league, if every side had two props from non EQ, for example, England would be in trouble. Then of course we need to define the word "foreign", is it just South Africans we have a problem with, seems some do.

Why unfortunately?? Your suggestion is spot on - limit foreigners and bring English talent through |

Nottingham scrum half Alex Dolly has signed for Doncaster Knights. He will be a big loss to Nottingham.

I think we need to be aware of the impact on Brexit on the availability of overseas players as the Kolpak agreement will not continue, unfortunately. Perhaps this is the time to use the championship as a bigger grounding for developing players with a limit of 2 non English qualified players per game.

Looks like Ealing are following the Sale Sharks plan with loads of Saffers.
Next year has to be the best chance for anyone to get into the Premiership as there is no relegated Prem Side. Following year - no promotion or relegation from Prem. Year after play-off between bottom in Prem and top of Championship - so realistically Next year is the chance. |
