Mike has quite a few family connections in Rothley and ‘The Woodies’. His loyalty now as a Tiger is very clear.

Intersting he wants to stay even if not a player... good to know, if the cap doesn't allow it he's a useful player to help coach till the end of the season
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Great signing, Great player and seemingly contrary to popular opinion, a top bloke. Definitely sign him till end of season and if he does and I see him in the Woddies I shall definitely buy him a pint! In fact I’ll buy him a pint anyway.
I wondered if letting Jansen go might be about sneaking a little tiny bit of cap space to keep the likes of Brown and west. I know he wouldn’t earning much but every little helps. Also we have Weisse Hanro and crackers at 8 and yet thin on the ground at FB and LHP

Did I read the Jansen release wrong? Is he going immediately? I thought he was moving next season, he was certainly a travelling reserve at Kingsholm.

Brown has been fantastic. Proved the doubters (most of us) wrong.

However, put simply, when Freddie is back Brown won't play. If Freddie gets injured, Watson is the #2 fullback.

So, sentiment aside, unfortunately we just don't need a 3rd fullback for the remainder of this season.

Could easily put one of them on the wing, where we're struggling a bit for depth.

It'd be a very brave call to release him.

Thing is it may not be a rugby call, but a salary cap decision...
