Someone mentioned Shaun Knight the other day,i hope it's some sort of sick joke,Stanko isn't a magician!
Yeh I did.
I mean it is a rumour whether it happens or not is another thing.

Heres a leftfield one (tin hat firmly on) James Wilson. Looking for a club,35 but still a player and covers FB,Centre,FH and wing. Worth a year?
Don't be absurd! If we sign anyone over 30 people complain that they are journeymen.
He's a more experienced George Worth. Signing him just stunts the development of Worth for a season.

Surely there must be some other decent tightheads out there in the premiership to pick from! Schnoert, Hill, Wilson at Newcastle. One of them must have their contract coming to an end.
Not for another season at least.
Think they are end of contract
Hill 2019/20
Schnoert (I believe) (2020/21)
Davy Wilson is a shadow of his former self, Scott Wilson hasn'tbeen that impressive at Falcons.
Call it blind faith, 40 year old happy clapper gene or just being daft but my thoughts are at the moment I am not worried about who is going and who is coming. What makes me think that is, if we start to have a poor season next season and it can be pinpointed to a position I.e Logo not being replaced, MOC is in for the jump. He is responsible for recruitment and the buck stops at him and then his coaching staff. P45’s all round. I don’t know MOC, as some probably do on this forum, but I can imagine being sacked isn’t up there on next season agenda for him.
I guess it’s a case of wait and see and trust the club. Even if it’s easier said than done.
To be fair no one is leaving who’s departure has caused me any concern. I like Mulipola, seems to be a great chap, but isn’t a starting XV player and will be other players out there who can replace him.
Tigers have a great core of players and happily it seems none of these players are leaving.
Also apparently Malouf is leaving, again, no big loss. May, Holmes and Thompstone are all better than him. He had raw talent but never seems to adjust 100% to the XV game, especially defensively.

I keep hearing that Logo wanted to stay as wel as MOC wanting to keep him. If Logo wanted to stay as much as is being mentioned, then he wouldn't have held the club to ransom over offering him a better deal. Fair enough, try it but if Tigers say they cannot offer any more money, then accept it if you genuinely want to stay.
Again, only heresay, but if Cilliers moved on then that would have freed up more cap to give Logo a better deal.
Does that look about right? Quite a lot of departures/potential departures there. Will leave is a bit thin on the ground unless there are further signings announced.
