Must admit this offloading of Hickey increases my estimations of Mr Agar. Since (I believe) Hickey was on a 2 yr deal, did we get anything for him?

The problem being is, how do we recoup the loss in catering on match days now Jarrod won't have his usual Feast

'Hickey said: "I'm really excited to be heading to London to play my rugby down there next season. It's a big move for me and I am looking forward to a big year next year."

Are there more buffets and eateries down there??????????

I'm not so much interested in his departure but I am in replacement.

Hope to hear Isaac John signing and a prop of some quality. With a few more solid players.

Would imagine hickey would have been a high earner at WTW.

We need more than one prop imo

Chances are, we're probably paying Quins the difference between his contract with us and his contract with them. It frees up a quota space, though, and I'd like to hope we won't make the same mistake again.

Do these guys actually have to undergo medicals and pass fitness tests before they sign for a team?

Props for next year

Higgins
Johnson
Dowes
James

Lacking seriously up front I would sort out a new deal for Korki

i will tell you mate if i was lining up against these boys in the front row next year, i would honestly be happy. no size , no physical presence to speak of. . apart from johnson who imo is a second row and is wasted at prop. dowes nice guy but no better than anything you have got, probably another second rower. where is the grunt and aggression going to come from? you need a couple of props with some weight, power and aggression making the hard yards. leave the fancy stuff to the show ponies. i'd agree with you. get korki signed and another impact prop

Re: Cheers Jarrad! : Thu Sep 22, 2011 10:07 pm  

From what I've been told, we would sign Korki, just not for the kind of money he thinks he's worth. His expectations may have been raised by his time at Salford/Cas/Hudds.

I'm confident we'll get Amor for next season, and we seem to be forgetting about Wilkes.

That said, I'd still like to see us sign up one more prop; ideally, a big beast, to add some grunt and power to the pack.
