Ellis Genge was the first name that came into my head when I was thinking who would be second choice after we failed to sign Nate Cleary.

for scrum half?

You haven’t seen his short kicking game. I mean, it’s really short. Those legs couldn’t move enough to kick it any further.

Don’t know about my spidey senses tingling, but my bowels are now cramping.

Is it Genge or Joe Marler who is good mates with Burgess?

If Burgess wouldn’t pay over the top for his own brother, I doubt he’d be up for signing Genge.

Then again, I’m not sure how the cap rules would make it work. If it was at minimal expense on the cap, and Moran just wanted another vanity project to attract RU fans from down the road in Sale, then that’s up to him.

Didn’t work with Burrell though, so I hope Sam isn’t obliged to make it work.

Frankly I dont believe it…there can’t possibly be such a thing as a “celebrity fishing competition”.
I mean what celebrity would be stupid enough to eat a worm covering a hook….oh is that why KFP was there?

The hook accidentally got caught on one of his huge Crucifix ear rings as he was taking a walk along the canal.

I think you are expecting a lot for Hirst to step up to SL and hit the ground running.

Chris Hill did, and played for England the same year. So not a crazy suggestion by any means.

Honestly couldn't careless if we did sign him, he wouldn't count on the cap for his first year, and only 50% the second year.
If he worked out then happy days, if not see ya later. He'd need to lose about a stone i reckon to improve on his fitness......tackling.......etc but this could be a random rumour that some desperate journo has made up, or Karl himself drumming up publicity.

Genge has just signed a long term contract with Bristol. So thank god for that.
