[Rugbygramps]

Just a thought Tigers playing hard ball with him possibly ? Not likely I know

Think it's more likely (though still not likely at all) that Moroni and the club are teasing us, wanting it all to be a surprise and have some big reveal lined up.

Just imagine if this situation had come up three years ago - this forum would be in uproar!

I think everyone would be disappointed to see him go but it’s what it is and we are in a position of strength there.
Also wondering if it is a language barrier thing did PMVL ask him he had re-signed but he took as has he resigned, causes enough confusion for native English speakers

You’re right gramps,the grammar police even pick that up on here so what chance has poor Matias got?!

To be fair, this is spelling changing semantics not grammar

Nice!

From what I heard Tigers wanted to look at someone more available.

Someone else coming in (eg the Stef Hughes rumours), or someone already here (more time for Scott/Porter)?

[Pmvl]

I actually talked to him twice, once inside at the presentation event & as I went to my motor in the car park he came out & started talking to me saying tigers did not want him to re-sign, I know there is a language barrier but that is definitely what he said. I for one will be sorry to see him go if he does.

Does Cokanasiga okay 12 or 13? I know he played mainly 12 in the youth teams but has he moved to outside?

[GB72]

I think that the Autumn Internationals are now a big problem. Clubs can handle losing Southern Hemisphere players at the start of the season and European players for the 6 Nations but to lose, in most cases, all of the European and Southern Hemisphere players are once for a number of weeks in the Autumn is a massive blow and I gues with smaller squads, clubs are now havng to look at value and availability as well as the simple wage cost.

[RagingBull]

Not just that you have the RWC coming up also which unless just a 1 year deal needs to be a factor.

On top of the England players potentially missing more games.

How long is the reduced cap for,2 years?

[ay2oh]

How long is the reduced cap for,2 years?

Yes think it goes back up the season after next. I.e. 23-24

[wigworth]

How long is the reduced cap for,2 years?

It will return to £6.4 million at the start of the 2024-25 season.
