In fairness there is something in this. If he felt his Dad was badly treated you could understand him looking for a move away. The Bath forums are wondering whether he may even have played his last game already.
I suspect he'll be professional and carry on as normal, but it would be naive to assert that it definitely won't be an issue.

Never has there been a better quote of the daily mail in its current form
Celebrity (if half of them can even be classed as such) and salacious sideboob
The layout is definitely very good, I often read it when deep boredom ensues but it is pure drivel...

With regards to Bath, it appears the smart money might be on Cockers' predecessor Heyneke Meyer.
An interesting choice. Awful circumstances that led to his untimely departure from us but there were a number of us shifting uncomfortably at the way we were playing under him before he took his leave of absence. As I recall it, as soon as Cockers took over we looked A LOT better with the same players.
Bath have got a tremendous amount of potent, pacy backs. Would a Meyer side get the best out of them? I'm not so sure.
At the time I bemoaned the way we were going, and it include some of the direst Tigers games I've attended (we missed Sale H because of recovery from operation ). I genuinely did not rate HM and agree that Cockers improved things a lot when he took over. I don't think Bath have been set up for the HM gameplan and I seriously hope that the Clot is tempted by Brucie's millions

Nottingham 1995-2000

It's all Cockers' fault.
Perhaps if Cockers had been more of a father figure to Boy George he would not have left us to join his family in Baarrff!
"Not only have the pair enjoyed a close familial relationship, but George rates Mike as a "brilliant" coach and he is loyal to him on both fronts."
I read that Heyneke Meyer is rumoured to be in line for the job, now if that were true I wonder how George would fit into the style of rugby that Meyer sides generally play. Would he have seen it first hand himself? Wasn't he in Academy here when Meyer was coach?

Well, if his Tigers' departure is anything to go by, I would say one reason would be having to earn the right to start at 10.
Definitely. Priestland is definitely competition. Although both can be a bit flaky. At their best, I would say that George is no. 1, but an average to good Rhys is better than a poor George.
