There have to be a few big RU props who fancy a go or some quick RU wingers who live in the area who are sick of never seeing the ball.

Had some good players through previous trials. Hopefully there are some hidden gems out there waiting to be given a chance

Why would you take a pay cut to play a tougher (and unfamiliar) sport, travelling a ridiculous amount and losing most matches? This isn't limited to Cov, the same holds for the other League 1 expansion clubs. 

Because you only have to play 21 games a season?

Which means less money per game and less games, but probably more travel time per game?

Yeah but if you’re semi pro you might want fewer games. Not that I know anything about it.

Yep- good point, let's not try then.

I'm not saying not to try. I just question the idea that there's many RU players out there who want to earn less, play a harder and unfamiliar game and travel loads more for the privilege.

Well I don't suppose Beauden Barrett is going to turn up, but there may well be a few decent amateur RU players in the area who fancy giving it a go.

Yeah I wouldn’t have thought he’d make the cut

The vast majority of players at previous trials have been RL players. There are alot of players who for different reasons have fallen out of the game, or not been picked up by other clubs. There's also players from student RL who want to give it a go as a semi professional player.

The last thing the Bears need is some fatty tighthead who'll be gasping for air after 5 minutes of making 10m each PTB

RU wingers yes please.... Or even speedy soccer forwards who fancy a challenge

 I meant RU props (tighthead or loose) are usually massive and unfit.... You don't want then anywhere near a RL field mate!
