Who has been our worse signing?

[Rugbyflanker]

MOC or George Ford?

[ellis9]

Definitely not Ford

[G.K]

Plenty of stiff competition for that over the years but has to be MoC. Has anyone kept track of all the records he's broken this season?

[MrPartridge]

I’d suggest Simon Cohen.

[TTRITH]

George Ford, but not because I don't like him... because I do. I really rate him.

The whole situation around the signing of George Ford, and how it leaked to the media including all the gory details was utterly pathetic and leaves a bad taste from all parties for me (players exempted). Not only that but whilst this deal was being shoved through (including letting Burns go early...) we also slipped the gun on Owen and didn't look at another fly-half.

The signing of George Ford left us with only one premiership quality 10, with the only decent back up being our only top quality 12. Gareth Owen is a good player, but I wouldn't want to have to rely on him for most of the season.

You cannot expect a player to deliver 100% every week when he knows he's secure as first choice. They will slip up because it won't affect them whatever way you look at it.

Ford can only survive in a line up with great defence otherwise they just send the big guys down his channel.

Nothing wrong with his technique but he's just not big enough. So you rearrange your defence and that causes confusion to hide the fly half. We did the same with Humphries a few years ago. His issue was technique so could be worked on but Ford isn't going to grow any more. He compromises Tigers and ultimately England.

Move Toomua there (to fly half) for next season. Move O'Connor to Australia.

Tuilagi.... Not given value for money over the last five years

[jgriffin]

MOC..... but then I've been saying the bloke is second-rate for just under a decade. Bias doesn't come into it....uninspired, insipid, plus a lot of other stuff. Absolutely gutted to be proven right.

Joe Ford

[Rugbyflanker]

Joe Ford was a joke signing,one to appease his bro. Wake up guys,deleted post lol

[Leicestertinytiger]

Joe Ford was a gamble. Hoping a championship player could make the step up on the cheap no doubt. Has failed miserably and never deserved to wear the shirt. Kind of sums up why we’re in the position we are.

[RagingBull]

Joe Ford will be cheap though.

One name for me Dominic Ryan considering we shipped McCaffrey who was playing well for the Brumbies for him.

I think Dominic might have been signed before MOC came in, possibly? As for McAffrey he wasn’t up to our standard unfortunately and he’s not been tearing up trees at the underperforming Brumbies in the SupeRugby either

In my humble opinion, letting our pack leader and sometime captain Ed Slater leave had a bigger impact than any signings we made.*

*With the exception of the off-field signing of MOC. There was a reason that the vast majority of the fans had serious reservations. The sooner he gets his P45 the better.

Agreed, Slater was huge for a losing Gloucester side yesterday, as was Morgan
