Maybe the list isn't actually finalised until midnight tonight?
Whats this,transfer deadline day? 😉
In a weird, no one has any money kind of way, yes. Sort of "who's left" and "how many peanuts are they prepared to play for" kind of way.

Like the opposite of football deadline day! :smt003
Hopefully there will be one where we get an extra days wait because the faxed paperwork didn’t come through in time 😂👍

Is this going to be a case of good news is better than no news?

Maybe it's going to be announced player-by-player...and they are getting the 'thank you for your service' text ready?

Off to the western force.

Might explain why it's being held off though, some early release moves between clubs.
Not surprised. Hasn't really featured all that much after Sale in the Prem other than the prc and although useful at the back, found wanting as cover at 10.
He started 5 premiership games after that Sale game…

He’s been involved in basically half the premiership games this season and started about a quarter.

Bryce has got stuck in and done whatever was asked of him and probably not been asked as much as he would have wanted but played for the team. Kini, Samaki, Socino and a few others are in the same bracket. If we did not have their quality available in that way we would not have got as far in any of the competitions. Better that usual squad players but playing for the team in every way. I think the great progression of the young players has also meant that the older ones have not get as much fame time as they probably expected looking at the reputation of the players in the club when they signed. I thank all of them for making the season such a great one that we have all enjoyed.

Hadn't realised it was that many post Sale. All at 15 though? Point still stands though; I think we wanted another player able to cover 10/15 as FB can. Hegarty hasn't really done so.

Honesty I think this is more a Hegarty call than a tigers call imo

He would be third choice at best at either 10/15 with the depth we have now.

I would agree he will look at the signings made, Pollard Gopperth Watson, and possibly think that he is going to get less rugby than last season.
There is also the issue of settling in a new country and how easy he has or hasn’t found it.

Big loss and keeping Reffell now is a must.

Very sad for him but I can understand the decision with his injuries and rehabilitation. Wish him all the best.

Matera would be nice!
