Re: OTY retires

Tom's legacy will not be measured simply by the number of games he's played - for us, England and the Lions - but by the number of hearts he's touched. It is no exaggeration to say that, together with his family, he has been the heart and soul of the Club and an inspiration to so many. The overused ...

Unknown.

Possibly, with our depth at back row atm he may be being saved for a trial run at lock for our game Tuesday.
Notably absent from training atm - not a selection issue

Seconded
The form he was in when he left us? Yes!

The form he's been in for the last 12 months? Nope.

Midlands really 1 club too many.
Or Wasps move up north :smt003
Or East?

'Antwerp Wasps' has a nice ring to it

I don't believe 'cupiditas' is at the heart of Ford and Genge leaving.

Re: Genge leaving

I wish Ellis the greatest good fortune both personally and as a professional rugby player and I have no problem with his decision to sign for Bristol. Over coffee one day back in 2019, I suggested to our former CEO that Ellis Genge should be our next captain. I also told Ellis. However, in light of ...

Re: George Fords Departure - Why ?

Iam probably not alone in expecting Sale to recruit Mike Ford onto their coaching team in the next few months.. I am very sorry to see George leave Tigers again but a big thanks for your efforts in the rebuild. 'Those who know' (supposedly) tell me there's no chance. They like what they've got and ...

Re: Kevin Sinfield

Thanks for this - it shows what a massive task this is!

Caught up with him (not literally) just before Costock - he looked strong!
