Even if he only teaches the other players how to do this it'll be money well spent :smt040

I watched GT last season when wasps turned us over at welford road, he smashed so many holes in the midfield and will bring that much needed physicality, as for Spencer I don’t know much about him, he looks 35 not 25 tho, sounds like a good prospect, we still need another lock tho.

I hadn't took a great deal of notice of Spencer until it was rumoured on here, unfortunately the first I saw was his first game back from injury so he looked a little off the pace as might be expected but apparently he is rated and been looked at by England coaches so hopefully a good signing who kicks on here!
Thompson is a very good player in my opinion, he will add physicality and intensity, if Evans ever plays with Thompson's level of intensity then he could be one hell of a player one day up there with the likes of Michael Hooper!

Watched him (WS) a few times on BT. IMO high work rate, in your face type of player.
