They're going to have to find a big chunk of change for Big Andre as Quins won't let him out of contract for nowt. Sharks could potentially see if Quins wanted a trade of some sort which might help with the fee.

The Sharks are part owned by an American investment company, I think Roc Nation is included in there somewhere.

Could Zach Mercer be heading back to France? Rumours over here say yes. Should he go or should he stay? Borthers doesn’t want him and Glaws aren’t going to win a major trophy so let’s not be surprised if a Top14 club tries to buy him out of his contract.

Good move for all concerned. An England call up looks unlikely, not exactly tearing up tress with Glaws. Perhaps all parties cutting their losses and him going back to France is the way forward.

There is a certain club in the East Midlands that is needing a dynamic No.8 for next season...

Yes but ideally one who plays for 80 minutes

I doubt Glaws would allow him to leave for free and Mercer would stick here in England if he were to leave Glaws. Either New Zealand (where he'd be eligible to switch nationality for the ABs) or back to France where Top14 clubs would be queuing up to offer him serious cash.

I'd bite your hand off for him,those who watched a lot of Top14 and don't just take an opinion off 40 minutes of rugby know how good a player he can be. Top player!

I too, would be delighted if he were to play for Tigers, but I believe that his contract at Gloucester has another couple of seasons to run.

Yes Gloucester would want compensation for his remaining contract if he moved on
