However would be another blow if we fail to sign him. How many players have we come out publicly saying we’re interested in, that Aussie 8, Mafi now Cordero and none of them sign. Why aren’t these players choosing to join us, doesn’t look great, hope this rumour is wrong.
It's not just RIL that is saying we have missed Cordero, a few fans with insider knowledge are saying the same things

Today is actually 'Blue Monday', supposedly the most depressing day of the year! Wouldn't you know it!
Happy days clearing straw from the pitch before the Baa-Baas games! KBO

Ben Betts off to get more game time.
Not sure why we had Baumann ahead of him really esp since he wasn't being played.

That is annoying. I agree entirely; why on earth have we been persisting with Baumann in the matchday 23 when there's plainly been no interest in playing him after he was embarrassed against Bath in the AWC.

Ben Betts speaks about his decision to leave Tigers

You have to wonder how many may follow, we’ve got 5 away with the under20s I’m sure there will be teams telling them there they get more game time than they will here, and all they’ll have to point out is how little game time Evans, well and Thacker get, compared with players of a similar age if not under at other clubs.

It's getting harder and harder to keep arguing that MOC deserves more time.

We don't yet know how good Betts will become, but he's surely worth keeping hold of - and it sounds like using him instead of Baumann would have been enough. Crazy.
