Hamilton joins Saracens !!

[wormus]

Yes as predicted Saracens need a second row to replace Bathwick,
He needs to be very tall, swing both arms well, talk constantly to the Referee even tho' he is not Captain but also have the skill to give away penalties. + free handbags with short fuses.
Yes Jim Hamilton has left Montpellier and joined Sarries.
Plus two others - his batman from Montpelier too.

Who's the lady in the white shirt with the beard?

The title seems to have quite a cavalier use of exclamation marks.

Interesting signings for Sarries. I don't think Hamilton is the player he was a couple of years ago but he will still be a solid player for them. Figallo is interesting, I heard that he had a neck injury which meant he couldn't legally play in the top 14 anymore. I might be wrong though.

Your not wrong. http://www.planetrugby.com/story/0,2588 ... 44,00.html

Bit weird that the prem has more lenient rules on the matter, lets hope he is ready to play and its not an accident waiting to happen.

Quite. I was always told that excessive use of exclamation marks was the sign of a diseased mind.

According to reports Jim's cut short his contract in France to be nearer to his folks because his Dad's not too well.

Nothing is as it once was - even pedantry! Self abuse was said to be a similar tracer.

That's progress for you!

A truly like for like replacement as in my opinion ex Tiger or not both players are a pain in the proverbial

[tigerburnie]

I've always liked Jim, but he still isn't good enough to get into our matchday squad. Good luck to him and his father.

The use of double exclamation marks was of his two decisions to go for "opportunities of a lifetime". I have followed Jim , Barkers Butts, Tigers Academy, Tigers, then Edinburgh to assist in his Scotland desires based on his father's birthplace, then * opportunity to Gloucester Rugby & Captain ! then Nigel Davies released him for another opportunity this time * cash ! at Montpellier - yes surprised too but the Sarries offer must be worthwhile.
I mentioned the possible move on May 6th, but Jim is becoming a butterfly player. Hope his father's troubles improve.
However a scan down the Forum index shows plenty of other exclamation marks - Injuries!! , Season Ticket !! Not cavalier just surprised he moved from France so quickly.

Has BJ got a new handle!!...........................

[Rizzo]

No, BJ has left the forum.

[Bill W (2)]

No, BJ has left the forum.

Might we ask why?

[Smurphswillgetya]

No, BJ has left the forum.

Nooooo, the voice of reason cannot leave. Can we start a bring BJ back campaign.

[Rizzo]

I don't know why, he de-activated his own account and made it clear to me that he did not want it re-activating.

Tig1 has also asked that his account be de-activated so he will not be able to post.
