Looks like Mau is staying aswell .[

Pleased Mau is also staying.Tremendous work rate sometimes goes unnoticed.
The odd brain fart but up there with the best in S/L
Think we will see the Mau we expected to see next season but why should it take part of a general conversation from the coach to confirm he is staying is really unbelievable
Whoever handles the clubs PR is poor or working with his hands tied behind his back because this lack of information regarding the resigning of three top players Savelio,Mau and Sao is so amateur

The club seems to be trying to stagger announcements which is usually to help pass and merchandise sales but I think they are over thinking and over complicating things these days, if a contract has been signed get it announced!

An ITK on twitter saying we've beat Wakey to Evans 2 year deal with option of a 3rd

I'd take what that account writes with a spade of salt.

The only rumours they tend to get right are the ones that Matt Shaw or Jonny Davidson put out first. The rest are made up...

early last week Sao just wanted a contract to sign!

It's bonkers if we haven't offered Ligi a new deal. The only way it should happen is if we've signed a top British middle in his place. Which we obviously haven't

Re: What now? : Sun Oct 03, 2021 6:55 pm  

Presumably we'll need to announce which player is leaving to free up the quota place before announcing the quota prop?

Re: What now? : Sun Oct 03, 2021 7:09 pm  

If he been offered one since we'll know because he is desperate to re-sign for us.

Not necessarily. We didn't with the Pritchard/ Kelly scenario. We announced Kelly then a week or so later released Frank.

If thats genuine information Wilf then this club also needs a shake up in Management.
Find it hard to believe that Ligi Sao who was totally overplayed during the season yet was still our most consistent performing forward just behind Satae has not been given a contract to sign.
Whether there is a verbal agreement in place who knows but again it points to a rather amateurish Management such as we are seeing with the drip feed of contract extension info
These two should have been the first on the list to extend contracts.
Lets hope they do a better job trying to move players on

plus the fact it has been made semi public by the HDM that Fonua has been made available to other S/L clubs so one way or another he will not be at the club next season which creates the quota space we need
