Dan McKellar had said he wanted to keep Brown so if Brown is indeed saying farewell he must have a better offer somewhere else.

Or we've offered him a contract small enough that he's decided he'd rather call it quits.

Who isn’t! I’ve heard they’ve asked Banquo to come out of retirement.

Tomos Williams has signed for us at Glaws apparently. We have been screaming out for a top 9 ever since Willi Heinz left so this is great news. Starting to see the makings of a fine ‘spine’ with a Mercer, Williams, Atkinson, Atkinson, Atkinson 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 axis ![😘](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f618.svg)

You'd hope with Atkinson's salary cap saving we'd have been able to offer him a continuation on what he's currently on. He apparently signed on a pretty cheap deal (comparatively) last season having been let go by Falcons and being short on options.

Looks like Brown has signed an 18 month deal. Confirmed he's signed beyond the end of the season on the Tigers website. Good news, he's been a solid back up.

If you have the opportunity to go with an all-Atkinson midfield, it should be illegal not to take it.ilovelamp wrote: ↑Thu Jan 04, 2024 9:15 pm Tomos Williams has signed for us at Glaws apparently.

Mitchell is the last of the current batch of Saints renewals - very happy with that as he's IMO the best 9 in the league, and perfect for our style of play.
Hopefully Lawes is a separate announcement because he's such a special boy

Faz Jr signed for Racing according to Midol
Clearly missed playing with Henry

That would simultaneously boost England and hurt Sarries. Result.Margin_Walker wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 3:47 pm Faz Jr signed for Racing according to Midol

I can’t wait for the RFU to invoke the test match animal exceptional circumstance.
Also, imagine being a Racing supporter:
“We have lost ze Russell of Finn but at least we’ll have ze Smith of Marcus… we’re getting ze robot of ice?!?!? Sacre bleu et zut alors.”

“Exceptional circumstances” indeed! Maybe OF will change his mind regarding his availability to Serge Bonhomme. The Racing supporters will more likely react with a deafening “PUTAIN DE MERDE!!!”Mellsblue wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 4:28 pm I can’t wait for the RFU to invoke the test match animal exceptional circumstance.

“We are delighted with the appeal of our club Racing 92. However, we deny any agreement concerning the English player Owen Farrell.”
So no agreement........yet.
If there was nothing in the story Racing would have categorically denied any interest in signing Farrell.

I guess he’s scared of facing Russell so regularly.

Would make sense for Farrell to move now. He's 32, at 34 likely to be to old for the next Lions Tour and facing three younger challengers for the England 10 shirt. He's at the age where's he likely to get one last big contract. If he wants to test himself in France it's now, particularly because Racing look desperate for a big name 10.

Yep. Another case of needing a tongue in cheek emoji.Margin_Walker wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2024 6:35 pmDenying he's signed, not that they are in talks.
Wouldn't be surprised at all if there's a fair bit in it.

Can’t wait for Borthwick’s next outburst about how ‘social media post’ not only lost him his captain but now the whole country must face up to life without Owen.
Not sure which headline pissed me off the most today, SB’s moaning or a Spice Girls fucking stamp!!!

Maybe, Racing 92 want Ford as well, with Farrell moving to 12. I'm allowed one New Year wish.
