Anyone know what Scotty Hamilton's plans are? There was some talk of him retiring at the end of this season.

Also, aren't Whetton and Peterson on trialist contracts, as projects until the end of this season?

Couple of other club ins/outs:
L.I. In - Tom Coventry (NZ)(Head coach)

Sale In - TJ Ioane(this season, I think)

Sarries Out - Botha

Wasps Out - Stephen Jones (Scarlets)

Scott Hamilton is hoping to be approaching fitness some time at the end of February and he says he's looking forward to playing again. Retirement hasn't been mentioned outside those who speculate about these things.

If you intend covering the whole of the Premiership movements RB, you will need to commit an awful lot of time in the coming months.

Am figuring that.

[Rykard]

maybe keep it to tigers, players of note and maybe ex tigers of interest?

[RagingBull]

Matera is not coming back.

Harrison 95% done. (So basically done but not confirmed)

[BIttySmalls]

Interesting to hear on the Eggchasers podcast that Carl Fearns is to leave Bath. Sounds like a perfect fit for us.

They also mentioned us getting Kaino again.

Both would be most welcome in my eyes. Also could we not just break the mould this once and confirm at least one of our new signings? We really do need a good news story right now.
