No, Matt O'Connor is a huge Manu fan.

So two forwards and two backs one of whom recently signed a contract extension
I reckon Croft and McCaffery will be the forwards
Betham as one of the backs not sure who the other could be.
smith, brady and tait all possibilities.

MOC said on RL after the game that we would have more ball carrying options in the back row next season. Does this suggest more than just Kalamofoni?

And Parisse!

Big ball carrying 8. Commentators on Euro final saying his move to Glos had fallen through, why?
Short window with Stade players up for grabs earlier in the season.
Snatch n grab?

Unlikely, I know. But if I'm right, I'll be happy to remind you!
In my defence, I was left unsupervised….

Now the season is well and truly over, are we likely tomorrow to hear who all those rumoured comings and goings are?

Like you LE18, I'm hoping that we will get some good news regarding signings in the next few days. I'll be glad to see various rumours either confirmed or finally put to bed.

Maybe K will be announced and the other Tongan 8.

But I think there will be more potential leavers announced before signings.

As Tigerbeat said a few of our done deals still have another game to go.

He fits the Tigers selection criteria perfectly, he is old and way past his best :smt002 De Villiers comes to mind :smt003
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

He's 31 nearly 32. Probably has a year or two left in the tank. Has been a few years since he was at his best though. Not sure he'd be my favoured choice and I'm not sure the club would be keen to spend as much as he is likely to be asking.

Tigerbeat, I meant our season is over and I cannot see why our departures cannot be announced, in comings from those clubs can be delayed but any other surely could be?
