Freddie has signed a new contract. Quite happy with that - looked good pre season before the jaw breakage!

Your updates are the cause of so much fuss year on year it's getting boring.
No other club suffers the same rumour mongering every Nov/Dec/Jan.
It's just as bad on the facepalm thing on social media, probably the same sodding people playing straight into the hands of greedy agents and opposition trouble makers.
Reporters don't have a real job as it is and need to do even less work with all the info on here, can't you find something else for your fingers to do!

Well that's your opinion, but judging by the number of views/posts it is not one which most on here share. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Back on thread, great news today. It is a 'happy Monday'! :smt038

How on earth you think RB and his rumour update on our forum remotely impacts the cost of players is beyond me...

Fans always hunger for this kind of speculation the majority of media around these periods is always based upon it and for me personally it is something I love to see..I read the Rugby Paper as soon as I wake up on a Sunday so I can see the latest rumours as it is exciting to think of your squad with a Toomua in it for next season..

Not all of us watch scrums on repeat to entertain ourselves TBD :smt003

I don't make the rumors up TBF.

I use this thread to try and keep everything in one thread instead of having loads of different threads.

But I will stop if everyone wants.

Do what you want but be in no doubt, rumours may well have cost a marquee signing this year with Niki rumours etc last year, and next year it may cost another extra marquee.
An agent is possibly earning an entire academy budget or a percentage from one signing that could pay to keep half a dozen young prospects for an extra years development, they will have to go.
There are rules about players under contract, insiders information and so on is the way being used to get around those rules and the dirty work is being done for them.
Personally I think this entire thread should be deleted ASAP.

@ RB please also return Shergar and lord Lucan from wherever you have them stashed (whilst you're single handedly ruining rugby!)
