The problem you’ve got to contend with is that you have to convince people to live in Sale. That’s why you’re limited to players who come from Wales or the West Country.

Yeah, we're losing a few but it's still gonna be real tight - especially as Francis selfishly went crawling back to Wales when on the cusp of being English again

DDP confirmed as leaving - imagine the Bath announcement is later today
Not needed; but... I can't really bring myself to care
Why is he leaving if it’s to Bath,

We offered a new deal, that was dwarfed by an offer from SA and Bath beat that
With his injury history you'd be mad not to snap up as much as possible, this is probably his last big contract opportunity

Oh is it that bad? He always seems to be fit when we play each other so assumed he didn't have much issues

Yeah, think last season was Ok but one before he had 9 months out
This season he's only had 5 starts - just seems to be in a constant cycle of coming back, getting injured, coming back, getting injured - had one or two out-in-the-warmups as well
Was Mr Reliable before but feels like it's catching up with him now - could've just been a bad run of luck though, I can't remember off the top of my head what the injuries have been
Confirmed by Bath now anywho:

Disappointed at that, he's looked better than Wills - don't blame him though, we've not given him the opportunities (partly through preferring Wills, partly through dumb 6:2 bench, partly through signing two medical jokers who weren't up to task)
He'll go well at Newcastle I reckon

Thats 4 wingers we've signed now:
Fehi Fineanganofo
Joji Nasova
Brandon Jackson
Obi Ene
Some inexperience but if they click, some fireworks.
And hopefully young Nathan Greenwood can be kept on as he's just electric...and work on him.
Saints have signed the rumoured loose head Leftheri Zigiriadis.
Assume West is either leaving or retiring.

Falcons have signed Allan Ferrie from Coventry...another flanker. 6'2 and 18 and a half stone. Apparently hes a heavy duty carrier

Byron McGuigan leaving Sale,
Wonder if he's going full time with England?
Big blow, and more disruption to the backroom

Wonder if Foreshaw will return? I don’t know how his wife is doing still though and if he will want a full time role
Granted the defence in the prem cup wasn’t the greatest

Yeah I'm happy with that,
Said it in the past but it felt like we've been on the slide since he left - like he really drove standards

Would’ve been annoyed but under Allen our defence has been really impressive
Falcons have signed Edinburghs Ben Healy on loan till the end of the season.

The young hooker looks like one to watch.

What a waste of a non-EQP spot - constantly injured and just yet another hybrid player when we're crying out for a big traditional tighthead lock

Tahlor Cahill from Crusaders to Scarlets. Welsh qualified lock on his way
Just imagine how could he could be though? All that potential?
Jokes aside I’d say you’d want him as a 6 for your style of play but then you have an international 6s so os he signed as a 2nd choice squad player or do they really think he is a proper lock? Very odd.
Sam Harris
Bath => Exeter
Very good player... if he can still use his ankle

Joe Jenkins, Scalvi, Vunipola and a Quins academy hooker overall pretty happy with the additions good mix of experience and depth
