I stand by my earlier postings but will add no further comments.
Sorry.
The taxi drivers brothers cousins mother in the taxi control room has secretly told a person that that Manu"s return journey has been booked to Franklins Gardens.
She stands by that and will only make 4 more comments.
I dont like this rumour too much, was hoping to see more of him in the senior squad this year, as i think he has so much potential aswell as the usual Tuilagi power and strength. would be a shame to loose such a talented player.
This is different to other rumours, as it is Bill's rumour, so is clearly from a stronger source than anyone else may have - and won't get the brilliant taxi driver etc treatment

I think there are too many on here who, like the Great British press, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story. Rumours are easy to spread since no hard evidence is required and, if you repeat them enough times, people will start to believe them. There's a lot to be said for the old adage 'Seeing is believing'.
agreed, some people were stating that Ben YOUNGS had signed for/was going to saints. he may of spoke with them but errr let me think where is he now????
as much as it would be a shame to see him go (and i dont think he will).
It could also be quite a bit of fun to see manu v alex on opposite wings next year!
Decades ago, a man who looked a bit like Jasper Carrot, pulled up and asked my mate for directions to some large country house in North East Nottinghamshire.
It lead to a rumour that Trevor Francis was coming to Forest for a million squid.
He did!
It's the only fan based rumour that I've ever known come true. The rest is only baloney.
Kicks and scrums and ruck and roll.....Is all my brain and body need!

Last year I informed my Dad that Lewis Moody was leaving for Bath on April 1st.
rumour control.... we had plenty of them in the RAF... got used to yeah ok whne it happens..
as for players leaving.. NO ONE knows if or why that player is leaving or whether the club wanted to tried to or didn't bother to keep them.. because you like that player doesn't mean we should be keeping them..
players (eg moody) may want to move on with thier careers for what ever reason... have a different challenge... i'm sure most people do when they have been at the same job for a long time.
this is the era of professionalism... people will go where the money is.. if players are not getting game time they will disappear and not be picked up by other clubs and due to the fact we may have enough wingers centres or what ever doesn't mean we should keep everyone just because the seem a good prospect.....
don't get me wrong i hope we keep manu as from what i have seen he is a damn good prospect... but i'm not about to slag the club off because what they might do... or what the player might want to do...
for those of you who i disillusioned with the club can i say look at the table.. wait until end of may....
Listening to the Rugby Hour last night it was a bit worrying to hear Ian Cockerill's opinion the Tigers DNA was changing with the loss of such people as Lewis and the intro of players who were not brought up by Tigers.
Did feel we need to strengthen the squad asap for next season and difficult to see where the signings were coming from.

He did'nt - come for a million squid - Brian Clough said no football player was worth a million quid (Very True!) -
Forest ONLY paid £999,999.00 ...........a pound short!
