Would that be the event where everyone was asked to respect confidentiality?

Indeed it was

[Crivvens]

T be fair, he was hardly letting the cat out of the bag, it's been common knowledge to even certain tribespeople in the Sudan who have no internet connection that Burns woud be joining us next season.

Also seen that Teddy Thomas is now apparently going to Bordeaux

[Rykard]

more bad news :-( hopefully there might be some more good news on the rugby club tonight..

[kpj tiger]

If Thomas has signed for Bordeaux I would try to sign Santiago Cordero, he was immense for playing for Argentina (especially being just 20), He has a great step and loads of pace to burn

Hi Crivens, it is not so much it was widely rumoured that Burns is coming, more that if there are to be further opportunities for discussions with Cockers and Cohen, attendees should abide by the request for confidentiality. If they don't, the responses from the 2Cs are likely to be far more guarded, if indeed they agree to an open forum again.

Just been confirmed that Yarde is joining Quins!!

Cockers of all people should know that "confidentiality" would go out of the window when addressing supporters, who would be chomping at the bit of Tweet/Post it on the way home !!

To RWA After he'd let the cat out of the bag so to speak at the Fans Forum, Cockers has never really struck me as someone who goes in for that confidentially malarky, as he is such an honest and straightforward guy, all this politicking is just not his bag. Unless of course I'm the naive one and he turns out to be the best merchant of us all.

Actually I suspect the former. Ask a straight question, get a straight answer or an honest evasion.

Apparently burns asked Gloucester for a six figure salary and he wouldn't accept less than the first number being 3. So makes you wonder how much will he be on at Leicester?

[Noddy555]

Well if Burns received performance related pay at Gloucester he would leave them at the end of the season owing them quite a lot. He's certainly not worth any figure approaching £300,000 a year and if tigers have agreed to pay him that then we've all gone stark raving bonkers.

Gavin Mortimer has tweeted:

M.O report that Biarritz wing Teddy Thomas won't be joining Leicester but has instead agreed a deal with Racing Metro

More smoke and mirrors?
