Hard to see where he ends up, doubt Tavi or Bideford can afford him at step 4, burnt his bridges at Tiverton, can't see him at Truro and apparently Taunton turned him down when he made no secret of wanting to play alongside Rocky Neal with them a few years back.

Barnstaple made contact he said yes to a massive amount of money for a team that was going to be relegated. parkway had him under contract. And he was the captain. Told Barnstaple he cost 5 grand. That was end of it. He was effectively in the wilderness also told a lot of the squad didn’t want him back . Dave Deacon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100%cornish Posted June 9, 2022 Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 Callum O,Brien is a brilliant player he was my mom for Torpoint vs Falmouth and also for Cornwall vs Devon any team would of liked a player of his Calibre doesnt matter about his shape hes still a class act like Bobby Hopkinson . Out doggy walking i got talking to a Newquay player and he told me there is going to be some top signings there and he said Orlando Anker is coming back after being released from Tiverton ,he played for 4 teams in 1 season Newquay .Helston ,Bodmin and Tiverton and possibly Saltash hes a great player but a very greedy player but i would love to see him back at Mt Wise even better at the G but the G are building a good young team cornish leg end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yourhavingalaugh Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Personally, unless a team really struggled last season, I see no benefit in completely overhauling your squad, as generally, the team doesn’t start too well (being practically a new team) and those recently signed players start looking elsewhere and eventually go. Not convinced by all these high profile signings or potential signings. Tavistock seem to have a good blueprint to follow, a good loyal core with the odd signing here and there. mattelot and Town Fan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
