Don't know much about him TBH.

As long as it means Fraser can go back to TH I'm happy.

Bath have signed Dave Denton apparently

As revealed by @SousterRugby @ST_Sport, David Denton=Bath's replacement for Sam Burgess. Not news Edinburgh needed amid a bad run of results

Good business for them (again)!

Agree - good for Bath.
Do you think they'll play him in the back row, or at centre? :smt002

Depending on other injuries and citing results we may need both!

So with Toomua being touted as signing with Wasps, shame but oh well.

Who would you like to think Tigers might look at for a second Marquee player.

I wonder if the offer made to Manu might empty the coffers, if he accepts it. In which case no marquee for us, maybe just a small tent instead?

Seems the Aussies think he's coming to the right end of the M69 :smt023
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.

All this can surely only mean one thing---that Manu will not be playing for Tigers, either retired or signed on a ''Freddie deal'' to someone with mega finances available.
Logic says Tigers cannot afford to spend all their finances on TWO Centres ??
Hope I am wrong and Toomau is pencilled in at Full Back

Toomua also plays FH, and it may be a farewell to whichever of Burns or Williams is considered surplus to requirements at the end of 2016.

Doesn't the salary cap jump up from 2016. I really can't remember what to though. Given ongoing contracts and current negotiations that could be doable to have both? Assuming of course that we have funds available!!
