THE WHARFEDALE OPENSIDE TAKES US THROUGH HIS PET HATES FROM THE RUGBY WORLD AND BEYOND
1. Hopeless hair lines
Despite having a squad with an average age of 25 and under, we’ve possibly got the worst hairline in the league. We seem to have quite a few players who are losing their hair but are still desperately trying to cover it up. But as soon as it gets wet, water reveals this horrendous, unsightly mess. Josh Burridge went from a full head of hair to being bald very quickly and took the plunge by shaving it off. I think a few more lads should follow his lead.
TRP VERDICT: It’s the thin end of the wedge but it’s still going in.
2. Topless trainers
Our Latvian player Tom Asejevs is renowned for training in preseason topless but with a bib on, which is a nightmare when you have to wear it the next week. The bibs may get washed once after the first week of pre-season but then never again, and they stink.
TRP VERDICT: That’s definitely the pits.
3. Mis-use of certain words
I’m a bit of a stickler for good grammar in that I always correct people when they confuse words like, they’re, there and their or use your and you’re in the wrong context. I love doing that when someone is giving me abuse, it really winds them up.
TRP VERDICT: That’s three out of three – you’re welcome.
