Who do we go to if flood goes to France in the summer ?

Post by barwelltiger »

From reading the rugby paper on Sunday it seems the rumours about flood to France don't want to go away! :smt013 so who do we go to if he does go to France! It also said burns is reluctant to sign a new contract with glaws?

I would stick with Owen Williams. Despite his tender years he oozes confidence and quality

And will be an 'encouragement' to any academy players coming through!

I totally agree, Owen Williams looks class.

The only downside is he will soon be the Welsh stand off.

I heard there was a good young fly half at Bath that we could try and get! :smt002
Of course this is my own opinion and other posters may have a different perceived factual viewpoint.

I doubt the double Lamb/Williams signing was an accident...

I hope to see Williams starting on Friday with Mele by his side. Flood & YBY on the bench if needed!

Hate to disagree with you GT but we would be running a big risk if we take Treviso lightly. I would be tempted to start with Flood but give Ben a rest by putting him on the bench. Bring Williams on once a bonus point is secured.

Williams is the only sensible answer to the question with Lamb on standby.

Would hate to lose Toby though!

Trust me Smurphswillgetya I will never take Treviso lightly (they are my 2nd fav team) & I know only too well what their capable of, keep an eye out for their wing/fullback Williams. I just think this game would suit our Williams to start as it will no doubt be an arm wrestle for a start & kicking our pens & for position will be important!

If he did go we would have a few options. If we wanted to spend big we could bring in Freddie Burns or Rhys Priestland. I would prefer to see Williams developed though. It takes guts to come on in a vital game and go for a massive drop goal, he did miss but the intention and technique were both there. He does seem to have a reliable boot aswell. I love Floody as a player but sometimes his goal kicking isn't as reliable as it should be, although when he is on form he is a great kicker like in the Ospreys game last year.

If he does go it is clear the reason is that he feels unfairly treated by England, I don't think there is anything more Tigers could do to help in that regard.

James O'Connor would be ideal. :smt023
