I think we’re more likely to sign Ben than Tom. It can’t be helping Ben’s international ambitions to be stuck behind a near perfect replica of himself.
At the same time would Sale rather Ben or Tom though?
I don't think either are realistic

I don’t think either will leave Sale when their five year contracts end in 2023 (I think it’s 2023). Unless Sale decide they only want one Curry.

As much as it hurts ,we are a step down from Sale at present. Sanderson has them as title contenders already and I expect him to keep them at that level.

All things being equal, I'd rather be where we are at present than have Alex Sanderson anywhere near the club. Cannot stand the bloke.

So what do we know? Well we know Sinfield is definitely coming in. Do we know Mike Ford is off? Why can’t they work together,surely they would gel both coming from league backgrounds. What is Kevin’s role? Defence? Attack? Skills? Another day in the mad house it seems.

Well I haven’t played 10 for 40 plus years and even then it was hardly ever. Also I have recently had a knee replacement. Still, better dust off the Gary Lineker football boots just in case.

Could it be a possibility that Mike was also told his contract was up at the end of the season like Murphy but he chose to stay till the end of the season?
