So really we don't know what the Farouk is going on?
Or both parties mutually agree termination for small or no cost?

Bath might not want him in the instance he doesn't want to stay (affects form, commitment etc) and as such will let him go without requirement for a buy out.

That kind of scenario sounds like a deal that could be beneficial to Tigers, assuming Ford prefers Tigers rather than being a free agent.....

Not on the Ford band wagon, but if it is happening (pray not), Bath have an international Flyhalf in Rhys Priestland so the fall out would be nowhere near as bad for them.

My advice to Ford if he wants best chance to re-join Tigers is stay away from Kugas, Focus each Mondeo on the week ahead to maintain his Edge. There'll be time for Fiesta once he's Transit over to us.

I actually thought it was another two years, so stand corrected, only one after this. You'll know if Brucie goes fishing in the SH for a big name 10.

My money would be on Dagg. Ok, maybe he's more of a 15 than a 10 these days but still...

Just reading the Sunday Times reports on the Eng v SA game. In the section where they give marks out of 10 to each player, George is down as a Leicester player. Do they know something that we don't? :smt003
