Saracens sign Strettle

[Bullitt]

There must be some very creative accounting going on in Watford if they're still within the wage cap...

More of a name signing then a player on form surely? When he's not injured, he's shite these days.

Hold on:

I have enjoyed my time in Northampton, but everyone can see there is a real energy around Saracens at the moment,[/b]

Do Saracens PR team tell them word for word what to say or something?

Couple of Seasons ago he was one of my fav players but the last 2 he has been pretty invisible.
Still sad to see him go,,

I'm puzzled myself. They were saying for ages that they were looking for a winger but whenever Strettle's name was mentioned they kept insisting they were looking for a more "substantial player" so we were thinking a big Fijian winger or an English RL guy or something.

We knew Delboy (Richard Haughton) was moving on sadly (huge loss I believe) but this is a bit out of the blue.

Again, not quite sure what to make of it. Should we start a game of metatarsal bingo or something? :huh:

To quote Papa Roach, Last Resort.

Sounds to me the "substantial" wingers either didn't want to come or had a better offer. Still could be worse, could have signed Banahan :lol:

Any port in a storm...

Well as invisible as he may seem, statistics show he has the most line breaks this season, soooo Sarries have made a good siging either way! Plus he may get recalled to England giving Sarries more money back from the RFU... anyway where the hell are they getting all this financial backing???

I wonder who'll take the spot on the other wing now? Harlequins are spoilt for choice with good young back 3 players, although Williams or Camacho are probably best bets.
I would also like to see Sam Smith and Seb Stegmann given more gametime. Both have looked pretty good at U20 level and the few times they've made 1st team appearances.
