Yep, he's been absolutely brilliant for them over a long period. When Hanro first started banging out 8/10 performances for Tigers every weekend I didn't refer to him as Tigers Jono Ross as an insult!

Biyi Alo to Ealing along with the rumoured move for 36.

Surely Alo's worth a punt for a Premiership side. With Cole and Heyes possibilities for the RWC, Nephi's impact play and sheer bulk leaving I'd take Alo at Tigers without hesitation for instance.

The original Ben Earl, but with a regular dose of dirty play added in, can't say I'll miss him.

A very good player who was a vital part of the depth that's made Sarries so strong.

In Tom Willis they've got an ideal replacement already as well.

Forgot about Willis joining them. With Earl and a fit McFarland that is going to be some back row.

Yep. Willis is a really smart signing as he is versatile enough to be a good squad player whilst they develop him but also has the talent to take over as first choice if Billy moves on next summer at the end of his contract.

McFarland's current contract runs until 2026 if rumours are to be believed. Brilliant recruitment and development by Sarries there. With how much he's improved under them the value from that deal will be gigantic.

You forget that he’s 2 years younger than Jack so at 24 plenty of time to develop. For me Billy’s star is on the wain and with him out of favour with Borthwick you can see him looking for a big pay day soon.

Billy V is out of contract next summer. He'll be 31 and looking at his last big contract. I'm sure his agent will get a good three year deal out of a club in France.
