[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1059766, member: 73592"] "Announced" is a very strong word for a rumour in WalesOnline As for Faletau - he's spent about 1/2 his time with us injured; and half of what's left, with Wales. Just looked it up, and he's in his 6th year with us; during which time he's racked up 56 club appearances (38 internationally) - that's... not a good return on investment. Generally, you'd expect your internationals to play 2 club matches for every international. On top of that, he's 31 in a couple of weeks; so his next contract is likely to be his next big one; and his health will be better looked after in Wales (and he might get a 2nd big contract that way), whilst salaries are being squeezed in England - it makes sense all around if he does return to the homeland.
