Well he's staying at Exeter so the chances are this was always a money grab and was never really on, Tigers could be on a 5 game winning streak and he most likely wouldn't have come.
A Tigers 5 game winning streak!! Oh bliss - Ah, sweet memories of a long bygone era!!

I don’t want to confuse too many on here with facts but we last had a five game winning streak in the Premiership earlier this year - 17th Feb to 7th April, with wins away to Sarries, Worcester and Bath, and at home to Wasps and Quins.

Callum green to return next season. Heard it here first. Best lineout states of the premiership last year. Great signing

Would be good if true, definately one of those players that I'd argue could have thrived here first time around if more opportunities had been given to the younger players by Cockers.

In place of Kitch or maybe as a replacement for the reportedly departing Mike Williams?

Where’s the Green rumour come from?

Was one of the best performing locks last season in the premiership. Haven’t really heard much of him this season, although not watched any Falcons games bar against Tigers.

I am not sure if I believe this but it could be that the Huw Jones bid may not be dead in the water - offer another 50K quickly - http://www.talkingrugbyunion.co.uk/rugb ... /21899.htm

Well Glasgow said about a month ago they would release details of his decision shortly. Given that nothing has been publicly stated yet does imply that maybe he hasn’t made up his mind.

I thought that when Callum Green was here first time, he was a little on the short side, how tall is he? Is he taller than Slater, who also appeared that way to me. Both very good players though.

Who cares how tall, would take either of them back here in a heartbeat. Would walk back into the XV engine room.

Green is a same size as Slater pretty much but heavier.
Haven't heard the rumour but would be pleased with that.

Both weigh 18st 4lb. Callum is 6ft 4in and Ed 6ft 5in.
Tigers for the premiership and European Cup. Get behind the team and make some noise!!

I thought he was one of the shorter locks, big lad to get up in the air!
