26 times, 17 in 17/18 and 9 times in 18/19. They were together for 2 years, Toomua's first season was with Williams and Burns as fly half.johnthegriff wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 1:19 pm Regarding the Toomua / Ford debate I wonder just how many times they actually played together with injury and international calls I don't think it was that many over the three years they were both with us.

Re: Transfers and Rumours Non-Tigers 2019-20
That is a good point but I would suggest we can see how Radradra and Naulago are going to fit into that Bristol side as it already exists. They are not setting about to use these players as agents of change. Just doing their current tactics but better. Sinckler is also a fairly known quantity. Whether regular international props are really worth it is a bit of question.RagingBull wrote: ↑Sun May 24, 2020 10:30 am I do find it slightly rose tinted saying that Radradra, Naulago, and Sinckler are great signing despite not playing a game for them yet nothing to say they won't have the same impact the our marquee players mentioned had for us.
Toomua for instance was signed to play as a creative foil outside Williams, who for all his skills was not the most adept at unlocking a defence. Not for playing outside Ford who is more of the creator himself and works better with runners off him than an other play maker right next to him.
Goooooodeeeeeyyyyy!

1 year contract with the option to extend for another 1 year. Sounds like he’ll be back to Saracens in time to challenge for the Lions tour and come back into the England squad. Gives the likes of Hill, Kpoku, Ewels etc to get some test experience.kk20gb30 wrote: ↑Mon May 25, 2020 7:58 am Waited a longtime for the confirmation , but George Kruis to Japan:

Re: Transfers and Rumours Non-Tigers 2019-20
Really don’t get that signing for them, they’re stacked at lock and flanker. I know Boyd said they couldn’t find a replacement for Brussow so was there only option but find that hard to believe with his NZ connections.happywomble wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 8:46 pm Nick Isiekwe to Saints season-long loan.

They desperate for some front row reinforcements and a proper no.8.

Judging by Boyd’s comments it doesn’t sounds like Isiewke is looking at a longer contract.
Re: Transfers and Rumours Non-Tigers 2019-20
With all these 1 season deals for Sarries players, how funny would it be if they didn't get promoted straight back up?

Re: Transfers and Rumours Non-Tigers 2019-20
Mitch Eadie is going back to Bristol. Not that many flankers though they could use another 8. Isiekwe will probably play blindside. 4. Lawes 5. Ribbans 6. Isiekwe 7. Ludlam 8. Harrison would be a fairly tidy back five for Saints. Saints do have a few locks on the books.Leicestertinytiger wrote: ↑Wed May 27, 2020 9:21 pmReally don’t get that signing for them, they’re stacked at lock and flanker.

Re: Transfers and Rumours Non-Tigers 2019-20
Re Sarries; still think it will be interesting to see the make up of their first team pool should they actually win promotion (first time out) and how this sits in terms of salary cap with regard to players returning from loans arrangements in conjunction with recent additions.Would imagine that books still have to be balanced.
