    Lions still very light at Hooker.

    Wonder when Maku will be fit again.

    His injury can only have been as a result of a gym issue.

    I suspect pushing the weights too hard.

    As such it again points to poor leadership by the Lions who should be monitoring all gym sessions closely.

    Ah well, no use moaning about the Lions issues. It’s like living in England and moaning about the rain. It’ll never change.

    Weary Eish, the Lions administrators continue to cover themselves in glory. Apparently Carlos Spencer and conditioning coach Wayne Taylor were sacked, and notified of this by e-mail. This despite being apparently assured a few weeks back, that their jobs were safe!

    OMW! What good press, for the embattled union
