i agree that Saintsman Tom. probably pay for itself in extra tickets and sponsorship, creates a PR buzz for the club that will have the usual suspects in the meedja wetting themselves but most importantly what a great player to have around the club to build confidence & knowledge in young players. he might even get some game time too.
I think you hit it on the head.
GS is going to bring 3 things to Wasps.
Experience, which if used wisely will benefit the whole team (everyone looks up to the giants of the game and are inspired by them)
Cover, Wasps have a good back row, BUT Ashley Johnson is moving to hooker leaving Haskell and Hughes. If Haskell continues to get England caps they need cover, and the possibility of Hughes getting called up for England in 12 months time is very real
Buzz, Who doesn't like to see great players on the pitch and there is a chance GS may get called up for AUS which increases his Crowd Pleasing £££
Having watched a few of the games he has played in last season, he still makes the grade (Think Brad Thorn at Tiggers)
