36? Now there's a player who I'd take back!

Yep, 12T left as he wasn't MOCs favourite. Misused, and then cajoled by Bomber into changing teams.

Do you mean the arm he employed to cynically elbow Tait in the face?

To be fair, Goppeth was the kind of good squad player top teams rely on. Maybe not quite international but playing to a consistently high standard. It would be an awful insult to all Wasps fans if he was to announce his retirement and then jump ship to us.

Cool that Wasps announced this on Xmas day! Was kind of hoping Tigers we’re going to do something similar. Alas not to be.....

Maybe we are letting out of contract players go and we have to wait till January to hear about the incomings :smt002

Can see the logic of a player like Gopperth for us and 3/4 years ago it would of been a great signing a bit to old now.

Got to go along with the above.
