So you were agreeing to replace BY, not saying replace him also. Unclear from your post, but consistent with your MO.

After all that you've said about him before, you do surprise me :smt002 :smt003
What that man said...Scott1, I think we realise you don’t like England’s starting scrum half, but I can’t imagine, unless he wants to go, we will be selling him.
There is never any points for 2nd place...

There will be a lot of linking going after that debacle today.
He’ll have to play better than that to get in Gloucester side

After that result, and the current mood on social media, I'm expecting all big names out of contract to be linked with other teams.

I mean it's only natural anyway.
Also even if we were mid table people like RIL would be linking regardless.

That being said May isn't one of the players that would make me too sad to see leave.

speaking of May why was he the right winger today? Holmes has worn the 14 before so I don't see why we would swap May without a need to?

I know other clubs have announced contract extensions for the likes of Launchbury, Hill, Hutchinson. Really would do the club a massive boost to get Genge and Ford nailed down.

I honestly can't understand why any decent player would want to come to Tigers. Talent in any profession want to develop, to get better, to strive for excellence. As for having talent and already being at the club. You'd be mad to stay.

What we see week after week is the most poorly coached team in the premiership, by some margin. If an U15 'C' team hooker was to throw a ball on his own line, to the tail, when only the opposition were lined up, you would give him a detention. At Tigers - it's the norm.

Opening two minutes of the game. Ruck, why not give the ball to my brother, one of the smallest players on the field, standing still, one out, and see if he can truck it up against the three Saints defenders waiting to tackle him. Result? Tigers end up five metres behind where they started from.

Murphy looks like the proverbial 'frightened rabbit' at the pre match interview and talks gibberish. I think his record is now P34, W10 L24. 4 of the 10 wins came in the first seven games. However I really don't blame him. I'm just intrigued to know why Saints didn't snap him up rather than appointing Chris Boyd.

Fissler front page of the rugby paper, saying Saints are lining up Youngs if talks fail between him and us.

Sounds like agent :censored:, but at the same time so obscure it could well be true.
I kind of hope it's true.

Reineich is leaving so they will need a replacement.
