Re: Thomas the Tank
I heard something similar a few weeks ago when it was first mooted Thomas might not be retained for next season.
Whatever you do, don't argue. We might never hear from you again.
Re: Thomas the Tank
It will be a shame, he has done a great job for us but we are in need of a top no 8 now and that really must be a priority. Crane is a good back up but should certianly not be first choice.

We are linked with Lawrence Pearce from Rotherham. Looks useful, probably will disappear into the Tigers factory and come out as a new model

Re: Thomas the Tank
If the rumour is true, I wish him well, he will thrive down there and the challenge may give him a new goal to aim at.

Big difference as Schuster had trouble with the language, getting home sick and having to learn new scrum Laws all together at once.sapajo wrote:Just like Schusterfentiger wrote:We are linked with Lawrence Pearce from Rotherham.

Re: Thomas the Tank
Same talk of Exeter in Rugby Paper - apparently seen down in Exeter having medical tests.

Re: Thomas the Tank
Sounds like he has had a really tough time, I thought it may actually have something to do with his abilityRagingBull wrote:Big difference as Schuster had trouble with the language, getting home sick and having to learn new scrum Laws all together at once.sapajo wrote:Just like Schusterfentiger wrote:We are linked with Lawrence Pearce from Rotherham.

Re: Thomas the Tank
It does seem strange that Exeter would choose Waldrom. He is a great player and wouldn't let them down but they have a quality 8 in Ewers already. Perhaps we have negotiated a swap with us taking Ewers? Laurence Pearce looks good. 20 stone monster who comes from the club who have produced Dickinson (Saints). If we were to lose Waldrom and gain Ewers and Pearce I would be very happy.

Re: Thomas the Tank
Wherever he ends up I'd wish him well as he's been a great Tiger but it's been obvious for a while his head's in other places. Might be wishful thinking to assume Ewers is coming the other way but with the gap between what Toby earns and what we'll pay Burns presumably fairly wide maybe this'll be the season we sign more than one player anybody's ever heard of before.
Re: Thomas the Tank
If true then I'm sorry to see him go.
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.
Re: Thomas the Tank
Ewers will not be coming to Tigers because he has signed a new contract with Exeter.CitizenSmiff wrote:Wherever he ends up I'd wish him well as he's been a great Tiger but it's been obvious for a while his head's in other places.
