Leaving and going back to France by the sounds.

Having seen very little of him, but knowing the depth of back rowers we have, he did stick out as a strange signing to me.
I know he played with the reserves last year, but i assume he would have still been non fed trained, and im sure the money could be better spent elsewhere.
Two plus two, with Mathers now unlikely and a non fed trained player leaving, does this mean Tongia is back in contention for the FB jersey?

French players no longer count as non-fed.

Yep another that was signed before RA came is gone from all the wakey tweets. But the amount of back rows we have he wouldnt have got a look in.

None of us know the full story, but you've got to feel for the lad. Gone from the high of signing his first pro deal to only then be released a couple of months later.

it is becoming to like like RA doesnt rate JE, on the signing of players front.

Think he deserved a shot. He can play loose forward aswell though can't he. I feel for the lad he deserved a chance.

SR : southern, Moriano, Johnson, lauititi, Kirmond, Raleigh, Spiers .
LF : Washbrook, Trout, Annekin

With these all having a claim to his positions it would be difficult for him to get into the team. The positive is that trout/ Annekin may see more game time than originally thought with Morro concentrating on coaching and Massellot allegedly leaving.

Add to that Adam Slater. And for those that are of the position that Agar is trying to shove the kids out, watch the interview with Adam Slater on WildcatsTV, who was signed while Agar has been at the club, and see how he reacts when asked about the boss (not Bruce Springsteen). I can't say I was enamoured when we appointed Agar, but we've got to give the guy a chance.

Not seen the interview but did hear that Agar had rated Slater as the best of the youngsters coming through. He does have genetics on hs side as well (his dad was one of my favourite players)

+1

With the advances in genetic engineering they may well be able to isolate and remove the "knock on" gene and develope the perfect player?
