however Dan Carter, Johnno, Lomu and any one else you care to mention have been seen at <insert here> and are all coming to play next year..............
SPIKE
It's not the winning or losing but the taking apart which matters.
Of course not .It all falls into place now -that last minute hitch in negotiations with Stad Francais was no doubt something to do with the fact that they had already decided to get rid of ML and would not give the necessary assurances to JMH that ML would be staying .
No Mike, it was well documented that the reason JMH did not come was because Max Guazzini changed his mind yet again about releasing him from contract at Stade.
Don't waste your time away thinking about yesterday's blues

No Mike, it wasn't because of that.
The "last minute hitch" with SF was because they got a new assistant coach who persuaded Mad Max not to let JMH go at any cost.
It had nothing to do with Marcello staying or going and all to do with Stade Francais simply refusing to let him go in the end.
He will never come now and its doubtful that any decent foreign player will, seeing how the board & some posters on this forum view anyone "Non Leicester"
