That would be interesting. Bath need someone like Henson, as do we.

Tuitavake and Kellaway both leaving Saints. With Burrell moving on too they’re having as big a centre clearance as us

Todd Blackadder off to Japan

Hutchinson and Dingwall have emerged this season as two centres that could go very far in the game. Plus Piers Francis is a solid performer, though I still don't feel he warranted international selection, he's a good Prem player and at 28 has a fair few years left.
Not top surprising that they are getting rid of some of the excess to invest cap elsewhere.
Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2018-19
Both would be nice acquisitions, especially Kellaway.

Depends whether Reid, Taute and Viljoen are going to be be confirmed - they're rumoured to be done deals. Plus Andy Forsyth is rumoured to have signed a dual-reg with us.
Tuitavake and Kellaway are good players but back three depth would be the more important area if Reid, Taute and Viljoen are incoming.
Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2018-19
Tuitavake and Kellaway can both play wing easily though.

A shame, as he’s a Premiership standard player. Been unlucky with injury this season.
Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2018-19
True but I'd argue there are better wingers the club could target.
Radwan and Kibirige at Falcons are real flyers. Charlie Walker is out of contract at Quins, he'd be a good addition. Even Sarto is a very good winger if he can stay fit, it's a shame we haven't seen much of him.
A reserve full back would be a better bet than versatile centres with Veainu at the RWC then needing rotating. Holmes can cover fullback well be he's much more dangerous from the wing.
As said I rate both Tuitavake and Kellaway but just don't think they're the best fit for the squad.

Isn't Charlie Walker incoming?

Rumoured but gone very quiet.

Yeah gone quiet on that front. Still very much hoping he’s on his way, he’s a great finisher with pace to burn.

Charlie Walker is pretty damn fast, and his ball handling is reliable.

I can well envisage E.T. beating L.I. in the play offs. They have big money behind them, so we could be looking at another Exeter.ABClub wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 3:44 pmDepends whether Reid, Taute and Viljoen are going to be be confirmed - they're rumoured to be done deals.
