He may be one massive balloon behaviour wise on the field, but he would get in more sides first XV than not, including dare I say ours.
Interesting that he doesn’t know where he is going yet. Maybe holding out for one last big pay day that just isn’t there
Perhaps Saints looking at cost compared to minutes on the pitch and deciding that he is not worth a contract renewal or maybe having to face the new reality of what clubs can and will pay in wages and they do not match his expectations. All speculation of course.

Do the Bath loan deals still work if the loaning club doesn't exist now ?
From what I understand, no. But with their injury count, proximity to Worcester and having already been in contact with the players in question they must be in a fairly good position to sign them through injury dispensation.
In realistic signings land I really think Tigers should be targeting Francois Venter to bolster our midfield defence which has looked a shadow of last season with the worse availability of our best centres.
Ted Hill and Ollie Lawrence are talents any club would want but highly doubt we have space currently. Were there plans for Martin to move back towards lock longer term then Hill would suit the physicality that Borthwick seems to want from 6/8s pretty ideally though.

Sounds like more Biggar's own decision.
After 5 years and with maybe his last RWC coming up it's a bit of watershed moment.
He could, I imagine, go anywhere he wants to. Any top team would want him.
Some speculation in some of the press it's salary cap driven, but agreed he could take his pick of destinations. I suspect France for big money?
More worrying for Saints is the correlation between him playing and them winning...
