That's quite a 'spread' of choice. Couldn't get more dissimilar tbh. A good thing I guess.
I suspect it means that no one has a clue what's going on
Including the Tigers board :lol: :lol:
Considering they allowed Pollard and Chieka to leave it so late before making a decision you might not be wrong.

That's way too logical and approach to catch on.

Seriously I hope it works for them. Good logical program to run.

Just saw that Bristol posted some stats on academy catchment areas in relation to this:

Explains the lack of players coming through at Bristol to some extent.

Good initiative from Bristol. They are seriously disadvantaged by the way the academies have been set up.

Only on a deal until the end of the 2025 season. It could be a brief fling and back home to rugby union fairly quickly if he doesn't take to it.

If it's that short-term I struggle to see it sticking.

Go over, score a few tries and win some silverware. Be back in union looking to break Ashton's record by Christmas at the latest.

Frankly I hope Ashton's record stays in place. Fed up with Wade swanning off like he's too good for rugby.
