Don’t think we have the money to tempt Malins if we want to keep Genge, Ford and May.

Need to lose some of the England players who are hardly here . Top priority should be Star scrum half not playing Internationals .

Joe Powell of the Brumbies would be a good fit, does a great job marshalling the Brumbies pack but struggles to get a game for the Wallabies.

François Hougaard hasn’t played for the Sprinboks since 2017...

I knew he was on some money but it is a surprise it is that much, but then how much are we paying Youngs?

That's a recipe for never winning anything again. Having lots of internationals never hurt us in the past. If you don't have the top players then in the big knock out games you get out played by the sides that do.

I would have thought its being hurting us for many Seasons.

That might be pushing the term 'star'. Especially when he's supposed to replace a B&I and England regular. With Genia retiring there'll be a spot in the Australian squad. We saw what happened we had an Australian offered a chance to come into the international fold again.CitizenSmiff wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2019 7:52 pmJoe Powell of the Brumbies would be a good fit, does a great job marshalling the Brumbies pack but struggles to get a game for the Wallabies.
Given the scrum half conveyor belt production we have we are better off continuing with giving them development opportunities.

Like a morning after a strong curry and a few too many beers you seem to pass on a lot that is lacking in any substance.RagingBull wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 9:01 amFrom what I gather about he's on about half as much as FH.
But Youngs also get's England money on top of it.
Proof!
Do you have any?

Not sure if Sarries will be able to afford to keep everyone.Scuttle wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2019 12:53 pmI agree albeit I would put money on Sarries being as keen to keep him as we are George FordLeicestertinytiger wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2019 12:33 pm Max Malins is out of contract end of season. Think he would make a great 15 who can cover 10. Would also be an upgrade over Worth and let Hardwick concentrate on playing 12.

The majority of what we all post here is speculation and word of mouth. If YBY had posted a picture of his contract, wage included then it wouldn't be a discussion would it.BFG wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 10:26 amLike a morning after a strong curry and a few too many beers you seem to pass on a lot that is lacking in any substance.RagingBull wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 9:01 amFrom what I gather about he's on about half as much as FH.

Unless anyone one here is Youngs agent or a Tigers employee directly involved in contract negotiations planning on losing their job by offering public proof of Ben's income then these discussion will continue to be speculation.

Rumours amongst Sarries fans are that Exeter are interested in Malins to replace Steenson when he retires. Simmonds stepping into the controlling fly-half role that Steenson offers and Malins providing a more expansive options.Hot_Charlie wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 11:09 amNot sure if Sarries will be able to afford to keep everyone.Scuttle wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2019 12:53 pmI agree albeit I would put money on Sarries being as keen to keep him as we are George FordLeicestertinytiger wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2019 12:33 pm Max Malins is out of contract end of season.

Malins behind the Chiefs pack with Devoto, Slade, Nowell, Cuthbert and Hogg outside would be a lot of fun to watch.
