It doesn't say he has cut short his contract just that he rejected an extension :smt017 .....

I don't blame him he hasn't been getting that many starts I believe and missed out on the Heineken final stages..

Strange he would reject a chance to stay as he termed it at "the biggest club in the world" :smt017

So we've missed out on an obvious Manu replacement, I refer to Roberts transfer from Racing Metro to Harlequins, now he would have been worth laying out money to come and see play.

I never realised the club was intending to replace Manu Tuilagi.

Well unless he quickly does 3 things that may be the position. A. Do some growing up. B. ASAP achieve match fitness. C. Use his brain before opening his mouth. Or is he one of your Guiness swilling mates veritas?

Oh Noddy I dread to think of the stupid things you probably did when you were 23 :smt003 :smt030 I also suggest you take heed of your own advice of point C and use your brain before typing :smt023

The fact you would want Roberts shows its you that has had too much Guinness he has never shown great form for years at club level...will be interesting to see though

If the club want to sign Manu up for after next season now might be the time to do it.

Too True JFJ but I never pretended to be a role model for the younger generation, Manu is/was whether this was sought or thrust upon him by the infantile media. As to the others my Kettle is always slow to boil.

Before castigating Tigers for not signing a player who has failed to make the grade in France perhaps Noddy should look at Robert's reasons for choosing Quins over Cardiff, not just money but the wish to further his medical studies. Presumably he has chosen which University hospital most suits his particular interest and then identified which club is best placed.
