Can we have Owen back?
why would you want him, Ford on his day is a match winner as is Toomua, Owen Williams left for more money and hasn't been great for Gloucester when he's been fit
Would be a better back up than we have currently! He has not been played much by Glos as Ackerman doesn't like his style!
In truth my colleague advised that Ackerman does not like Owen Williams so it's not just his style, ability or versatility in covering the centres and place kicks, hence his infrequent appearances. Another case of the grass not being greener on the quest for cash. Such a shame as he was rated & respected here @ Tigers. No3 number 10 and probably No3 Centre too. :smt017

Good signing for the Pests, at least I think so anyway...

At the time I wondered if Owen's career would founder. I think if we could match the WRU's probably small offer, and given the attraction of Rodney Parade on a Friday in winter...........

So Haskell joining our neighbours in the south then. Haven’t looked at any of their message boards to get a sense of the reaction...

I think this reply summed it up for me:

"If Haskell is the answer then we are asking the wrong question."

Nakawara linked with Stains. They will have the cap after releasing 17 too.

A second row of the Man Mountain and Nakarawa! That is one to tremble in fear about.

The Head Coach will be confirmed later today, why on earth will Gustard leave the England set up?Something going wrong behind the scenes? Harlequins will have to pay a lot of money to compensate the RFU. I’m also surprised that they haven’t used the NZ deal to their advantage to get a Kiwi coach.

I'm actually really annoyed by Gustard going to Quins. It's not against Quins, who I feel have got an excellent coach who will do wonders there, or Gustard for taking up what is an excellent opportunity but against the rugby board of this club who along with senior players decided that O'Connor should be our new head honcho so that Simon Cohens best mate could be [strike]Director of Rugby[/strike] Head of Rugby Operations.

Not only that, but we are also seeing Sam Vesty move to Saints this summer, when we could desperately use a skills coach with a different approach and it doesn't seem Smurf is having an effect in that department...

Ironic that you seem to have no faith whatsoever.

Gustard first job as a DoR. Could go either way. Let's wait and see.

If :censored: hits the fan next season we should have plenty of options available for the 2019/20 season anyway in terms of Head coaches.
