Tait is definitely off to bank some cash before the injuries finally take their toll imo and I wish him well just hope we can sign some class at 15 to replace him as since Murphy left we haven't had that same level of player at 15!

Are there many class 15's available at present? Willie le roux anyone...? :smt003 We wouldn't pay the figures quoted for him imo

Think depends on who else leaves.

If Croft or Salvi goes I expect that to be where the next marqee player will be.

TBH i'm fine with Morris and Bell being our 15's and maybe look to bring in another winger (More about who are out of contract).

Although Mauger does work with Dagg though. and Dagg's spot in the All blacks team isn't certain!!!!!!!!!! ;)

RB I do not appreciate being teased with Dagg :smt003 that would just be unreal..but alas I do not think we can afford him or more pertinently do not want to afford him..

really hope Croft shines this weekend can't imagine him not galloping up and down WR...but completely understand if it is decided he is not worth the risk :smt010

Who knows Dagg is more realistic a option than Le Roux imo.

Although I use the term realistic loosely.

I really hope Mauger is doing the rounds in NZ and Aus though.

I hope Mauger is spotting talent in our own academy who he can help bring through.

Would be harder for him to do considering he is in a country that's 11,722 miles away.
I'm sure he will try to do both though.

Personally I would like to see brought up in the next 2/3 seasons on full senior contracts as they are currently in the development squad.
Farnworth (2)
Owen (7)
Milne (8)
Tresidder (9)
Bryant (12)
Catchpole (13)
R.Williams (11/14) potentially but need to see more of him in the LV cup same with Hudson.

Think Catchpole could move up next season though.

Jack Roberts returns to Rotherham Titans for a initial 3 week period.

Titans fans are over the moon.

As it is 3 weeks suspect he will be involved in the LV cup game.

I was expecting to see this guy used at senior level given all the talk about him but he is obviously a little raw still..

Would be great to have some young talent in the centres we haven't seen anything of that in the AP for quite some time since young Terrence had a game or two..

According to Rugbyrama he is yet to make his decision:

But saying that I'd bet on L'equipe to be more accurate

That article was published 14 hours ago.

Also as it was a interview it could have been done before then. and just printed 14 hours ago.

I doubt very much that signing a Scottish player would excite any Wasps fans, such is the rep of our rugby at the moment.
He's actually Dutch.
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.
