Quote:Wilson Pickett
Do we get insurance money etc if a player is out for a significant period ?
Hate to say it, but if we don’t then we have to move on and he should probably retire to save his body for later in life. It isn’t value for money and the other 3 lads are good.

I've felt the same way for a while WP.
I suppose there is also the world cup on his mind, I assume he has one foot on the plane to Japan. If he get injured or banned again in the match against Exeter or Glos in the final (I'm hopeful) then no doubt he'd be out of the squad once again.
Quote:Neil-H
I mentioned before, depending on contract lengths left, I think we might see one of Mikey or Dylans not renewed.... purely down to salary cap and we have 2 youngsters who have more than proved themselves and be considerably cheaper than both of those mentioned?
Sad, that our club and sport has to be run like a business

it’s called professional sport?
Quote:Saint Stokey
This is when it would be great if we had a Johnson/ Thacker type hooker... one who is comfortable playing Back Row or at 2, meaning we would have a secondary cover should Dylan start then have to come back on to cover an injury.
Quote:agree and probably both come into play. either isn't good, both together big riskBrianB
Walks, my interpretation is the worry is that the knee won't stand a full game rather than his general fitness.

I wonder what Matti Williams is up to
Quote:Matthew
Something I've wondered.... Let's say Dylan starts on Saturday, gets injured, and has to come off.
Replacement hooker then gets injured and has to go off.
We'd go to uncontested scrums (not a bad thing based on out previous meetings with Chiefs?), but would we be able to bring on a replacement for the replacement hooker?
