Well obviously cash is going to be most important for everyone really. The argument can be made for every player.

Did Kelly thrive because he was outside of Ford or Playing under Borthwick?

Personally I don’t really rate Sanderson think he’s mostly all talk

Point RB makes about Sanderson totally agree with. Used to like him at Sarries always incitful and knowledgeable and would happily had him at Tigers. Since he has moved back to Sale he has developed into a bag of hot air b

I've always found Sanderson insufferable.

I think you can make that plural, his brother was full of it as well.

I think it's safe to say being near McCall might make coaches look better than they are in reality.

Doesn't surprise me. His agent and the club are wrangling over the figures and other clubs are no doubt interested. He's got an entire season left on his contract. I'm sure it'll be thrashed out now he's back in the country.

Would be surprised if Dan Kelly opted to go back to Sale. He might be good mates with Ford but he was also housemates with Steward and friends with others on the squad. Sale told him he wasn't going to make it whilst Tigers made him a Prem regular, helped get him capped and have seen him with a Prem winners medal.

Dan was not given a contract by Sale and in the Tigers first team within a year and a regular and capped within 2 years. Without injury he would probably have started a premiership final and had more England caps. I think he has benefited from SB set up and Tiger resurgence as much as any other player. All of the young player group have huge development potential working with each other as the team evolves. They could become legendary Tigers in the next 5 years or be dispersed. I hope they see the benefit of sticking together.

So of our real big young talent that's come through our juniors, there's probably 5/6 that are out of contract this year that we haven't heard about

Cam Henderson
George Martin
Jack Van Poortvliet
Freddie Steward
Dan Kelly
Tommy Reffell (quite possibly already on a rolling contract)

Of those IMO we want to keep them all. The fact we let White go suggests we're backing JVP so think we'll work out his package.

Kelly is likely to stay too, especially on the back of an injury I doubt other clubs will see his value as much as we do.

Steward, yeah he'll be chased by many, but think he's likely to stay on.

Martin, well I think he'll stay, but he at the moment isn't 1st choice in any position which may depending on the season he has mean he wants to look elsewhere. However with so much international rugby coming up and just his progression means he'll stay.

Henderson, IMO if he has a full season he'll be valued and stay, if he has a period on the sidelines he may be let go. A year ago he was ahead in the pecking order of Chessum. If he has a good year and plays lot well retain him.

Where do we get the money to afford this. Well cap is increasing and big money departures will I think cover it without too much hassle, especially given the credits we can use.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Rumour (Ruck) Sinckler to replace Cole who’s set to retire at the end of the season……

Agreed better options out there. Coley will be 36 at the end of next season think he’s got another season left in him after that, working with Heyes Hurd and others.

How old is he?
I reckon Joe Hayes is a better prospect.
