It`ll be interesting to see what sort of ban Matt gets if he gets thrown out.
This will be the tester to see if it really is an 'us and them' when it comes to the DOPS.

Todd & Danny did say they wont be bringing in an enforcer like Nickerson, does that mean they might still bring in some sort of enforcer though? Maybe a big guy who doesn't go about looking for a fight but more someone who will answer the call of a fight if another teams goon is knocking everyone around or someone taking cheapshots he will sort him out? IMO That is what we need, yeah Nickerson was great to watch and stood up for the team but I will admit he was a bit uncontrollable it seemed. The DOPS & refs did seem to have it in for him though. If we can sign a big guy who is a great fighter but won't do anything silly inbetween fights and take the suspensions, along with our "Tough & Gritty" forwards then I would hope we wont be the whipping team this season what he (or she) said

yeah Danny Stewart will..and that will diffuse the intimidation cos Matt wont fight him...I do not think will fight any of our guys at home..and I dont think we'll have a cheapshotter (which Jordan Fulton could be at times) Matt won't fight him? He almost threw him about when they were on the same team!! He'll probably want to destroy him more than most, and could at ease if he chooses too. Danny Stewart haha classic And thats the reason he wont fight us...our team will close ranks and any fight would be a non-event..most are anyway...a skirmish might develop though but will be nullified by officials/and or players. Matt indeed may be asked to pinpoint one of our tougher imports but that only works if they answer the bell (which theyd be daft to do) and we can if required ask Tommy to target one of there imports. Matt has a huge target on his back from the officials/DOPS and is in there sights.

How hard is tommy really? He can hold his own amongst the Brits and half the imports but out of his league with the big boys. He will admit that himself.

Why don't we just skip the other imports and send Tommy after Matt hahaha I'm sure Tommy will be in his best behaviour as soon as Matt has a little word in his ear

The guy was taken straight to hospital and never played again that season. Tommy is one of the toughest guys around outside the heavyweight guys

One punch doesn't make him one of the toughest around. Sure it was a good punch but has he done anything to warrant the title? If he was the toughest guy around he would be fighting a lot more

How big is he? Drop your gloves has him at 6 foot but elite prospects a few inches shorter.
Get that lad in a GB uniform.

If he was the toughest guy around he would be fighting a lot more Why are you twisting someone's words just to have a dig at Tommy? It's embarrassing! The suggestion was that Tommy was ONE of the toughest guys around OUTSIDE THE HEAVYWEIGHTS. Why are you making out that someone said he was 'the toughest guy around' when they didnt say that? No need whatsoever to criticise Muir as he's proved time and again that he'll fight to stick up for a team-mate. He's never got involved in the fighting for the sake of it stuff so why put a downer on a guy who's 'taken one for the team' on several occasions? You think when he's fought guys like Sladok and Kelsey Wilson that he didn't know he would struggle? Save your slagging for players who turn away and let other folk deal with the rough stuff for them.

I think he's right. But just because you don't like what Jambi said, does that give you the right to twist his words? There's no question tommy can hold his own and has been fantastic sticking up for team mates and you're right, against the big guys of the league he's ineffective. Remember when Clarkson challenged the flyers bench in Cardiff? Where was Tommy then?

Guaranteed the crowds will be down if no heavyweight is signed. Are they daft?

Remember when Clarkson challenged the flyers bench in Cardiff? Where was Tommy then? I'm twisting words? Are you on the wind up? I'll make it easy for you; Drwho's exact words were; 'Jambi' said; Can you honestly not see the difference in what was actually said? The stuff about Clarkson etc., I can't believe anyone would suggest that Tommy should be getting involved with guys like that just for the sake of it. Tommy doesnt think he's 'an enforcer' and just because a few fans rate him as a decent middleweight (which he is) doesnt meant to say he's obliged to 'fight more'. Jeez- apart from anything else, would you be doing that on a Flyers Brit's wages? There's a couple of digs at Tommy on this thread about not being prepared to go with heavyweights like Nickerson. It's ridiculous.

Les be honest about this, Tommy Muir local lad decent third liner gets paid roughly 150 a week (guess) has another job. Matt Nickerson career enforcer, 100s of career fights, will be on 7/800 a week, full time hockey player. Anyone who thinks Tommy should have anything to do with that is crazy.
