Proper statesman and must be a shock to many  after such a successful second spell at Town.

Appears to me they'll be attempting to have senior players moving into coaching roles as  hie won't be replaced at least in the short term.

Camborne played outstanding rugby last season on  a superb pitch  and very well supported too.

Really wish him well 

Taunton and Cinderford under preformed last season,and the 'Midlands based  sides are also tough opponents, and have a geographical bias .

Clubs constantly fed loan and DR players? Feel free to name them.

Taunton get some, struggling to think of anyone else, certainly those clubs who are actually in the west.

And I really wish people would stop wanging on about poor old Lymm; they will have fewer travel miles than either Camborne or Redruth.

Despite all the grumbles about travel - both ways - this is the toughest league by far at Nat2 (in my opinion) 

It’s very flattering to have Pirates described as one of the six Premiership clubs. We’ve loaned players to Redruth for a post injury match before returning to the Championship but we’ve also borrowed Choppers boys when we’ve been short, a consequence of geography but also of a close knit network.

Clifton have of course been promoted so the downtrodden of Lymm won’t need to tangle with them.

You’re in danger of playing the “we had it tough” card from anyone north of Birmingham a bit too often.

We enjoyed our 2 years in Nat2 but when you've sat in many pre-match lunches listening to club heirarchy complaining that "It's not fair that ClubX and Club Y get more loan players than we do" and then watching a game where that same heirarchy don't know who half their players are. Made me e ask myself the question "Is this really what it's all about?" Personally I don't think it is! Grow your own players, sign a few if you have to but don't have a model where players are there for a month then off somewhere else, then to be replaced by other loanees just to ensure you stay at a certain level. Just my opinion I know many others will disagree

With you 100% That Bloke. You are not alone! Our match day squads consistently include over 50% of home grown players. The remainder are players who have moved into the area and a couple of antipodeans via longstanding links. Our coaches work their socks off to maximise performance and there is nothing sweeter than a win against one of the long established Nat 2 sides - no names no pack drill!

Leicester Lions signed some dual registered players on a season long loan, only to see some of them go to the Championship and in one case never actually had the player available all season. So not always in the control of the National league side as to who is available and when they get to field these players. Lions had one player last season on d/r for the season and he played pretty much every game, but that is the exception, not the rule.

Suppose it's natural to think one's region is the strongest - guess we'll have to wait until Nat:1 kicks off.

I'm more certain in writing the gap between Nat: Two and SW Premier has widened considerably ,& that's a real problem for  Barnstaple .
