Anyone have any idea where these players are headed?
Selorm will probably retire - had a very nasty ankle injury about 18months ago and hasn't done anything rugby related since, just been on the injury list
No idea where a lot of them will go as they were just squad players, I imagine a few will get picked up on the cheap as cover for internationals/injuries etc. but some I can't imagine teams fighting over them
Ormsby could probably get in somewhere if he can get over his injuries
McMillan and Cox would make good squad players
Boko is good but only behind a dominant pack, he lacks a bit of grunt, but is very good in open play - got a fair few tries for the Sale Jets this season - same with Brightwell, with his 7s background
McIntyre is very young (only just out of the academy) so could be a good prospect for a team, but I imagine most would just take a prop out of their own academy rather than bring one in from elsewhere
Crane I think is a pretty good winger, would've kept him on
Would've kept Leck over Will Cliff - Leck reminds me a bit of a young Dwayne Peel, maybe they shipped him on because they didn't want all our scrumhalves to be too similar
Fergus Mulchrone is another squad player, not sure who'd pick him up - can play centre and wing, but has never nailed down a starting or even bench jersey
which is surprising because I heard he hasn't been great. Anybody know how he's getting on?
Y'heard wrong!
With the exception of Paul Williams he was the best player brought in
Best centre we have on the books, but has been struggling with a shoulder injury (having surgery over summer) so will play one week and rest the following
His defence is very strong and because he's quick he makes a lot of covering tackles, and players rarely get over the gainline going down his channel
He only signed on for a pittance of a salary so its not as if Sale threw a bucketload of money at him.
Hes not a world beater but he can be a very tidy player. Was he ever really given a chance?
He played early on in the season, and in the warmups - thought he looked decent
Also played a fair bit for the Sale Jets (the A team) - was never going to overtake Charlie Hodgson for FH though and with Nick MacLeod on the fringes (and in good form at the start of the season) they loaned him out too Rotheram to get more game time, and that was that, really
