Quote:Yes but very rarely in the first of 3 years, buying out 1 would be fairly expensive the remainder of 1/2p’s prohibitive..dcsh
Of course it should be remembered that players do move clubs before their contracts have expired nowadays. So you can’t just dismiss a rumour on the grounds that their contract isn’t up.

Rugby Inside Line has a number of Bath related rumours today.

Quote:Yes, but too often it's used as a stick to beat the coaches/management/groundskeepers with.shipwrecked
I take your point that we should be sceptical of press stories these days but lets be honest a bit of gossip can be quite enjoyable!

Don't think its been discussed here but there was a recent Q and A, where some things were announced:
- Changes in the physio and backroom staffing
- Some more signings yet to be announced
- Tactical kicking is part of the game plan and Chudley is being brought in to improve it.

I know its not confirmed, but feel after yesterday we lurch from one crisis to another and it is all bad news. If not true, why doesn't the club say so. They have enough non playing staff and hangers on to man the airwaves as they must see, as they are meant to read this site, how the unrest from the supporters is mounting and how many are saying they will not renew their season tickets. Or don't they care? God the way the supporters have been treated and taken for granted is just contemptuous in the extreme.

Forget Myler, we should be going for Cipriani it be our first choice flyhakf and let him re-ignite or wretchedly underperforming backline.

TRANSFER RUMOUR: We have heard that South African utility back Jesse Kriel could be heading to the Premiership next season. Sale Sharks have allegedly signed a marquee South African fullback and look the likely destination in order to replace club captain Will Addison.
Yet another good signing for Sale, if true.

Different Kriel there mate. That's the flanker, Jaco if I recall correctly.

How about snapping up Paddy Jackson $ Stuart Olding both released by Ulster and both fantastic players - I bet there that most DoR's will be asking the question. Why mot us!!
Quote:Ali1969
We do not know the full circumstances in relation to the court case but suffice to say that they were both acquitted and neither was charged with a lesser offense meaning there was no plea bargaining by either side.
Many innocent males have been accused and tried for Rape and we should be very careful in judging people who have been through due diligence within our Criminal Justice system and acquitted of all charges.
I understand Ulster's position which made the players position at the club completely impossible.
Both players are quality rugby players and I do not know them in relation to personalities but as they have been proven Not Guilty then they deserve to be given a chance.
I am not defending dithers actions on that night I am just stating a point.
Quote:gaz59
Might not be guilty of a criminal offence but the evidence, some shown in court and some not, suggest young men whose values, judgement and attitude towards women are totally reprehensible
So no, not welcome at my club
Quote:Barnoid
Like them or not, we have two international 10s contracted for next season. Hiring a third, with a ton of baggage, would surely be absurd.
That said, arguing about this is a good distraction from what’s happening on the pitch at the moment, right?

It is not uncommon for clubs to see a dip in form related to ground development, have to say that West Ham are a bit of an extreme example of this! Sorry BH. On the plus side once established the performances jump up!

I hope you’re right! It is hard going supporting Bath & West Ham at present.

Dan, the legal system is such that there is never a simple solution in relation to outcomes - the Scottish systems allows for overwhelming evidence which fails on a technical issue or a legal argument often out of the jury's hearing in the Judges chambers or otherwise to be taken into account so :- when you hear the saying "there is no smoke without fire" this really sums up the Guilty but not proven outcome - it allows the person judging (Potentially an employer such as a school or care agency to have an alarm bell ring to consider a persons suitability for employment) it just shows a lower burden of proof more akin to the civil court "Beyond the balance of Probabilities" hope this makes sense.
Quote:DanWiley
Out of interest, what is beyond the balance of probabilities? If you had to put odds on whether the person was guilty, what would the tipping point be?

Arsenal, Bath and the Washington Redskins. The last 20 years has not been that special.
