would make sense given number of 2nd rows who have broken through in recent years. We cant hang onto everyone although always thought andy tate looked promising in bits I've seen of him. hopefully if is going its as a makeweight in a deal for a player in a position we need. Ratchford or a would be good. Cant see him going to wakey unless its as part of a deal for obst.

Gavin Henson

, who started that rumour?

Would he be worth a punt though?

Gavin Henson?


That's classic.

ooh let me think.
On the plus side he was once a very, very good player.
On the negative he hasn't played any rugby for 18 months and is now trying to welch (ibid) on his remaining 9 month contract with his current club. His libertine lifestyle could make Paul Cooke a relatively safer recruitement.
He has no experience in SL and not indicated he would play there. His agent is negotiating with Wasps (it is only reported, I hasten to add)
His appearance on Strictly Come Dancing may draw speculation that he is not really as injured as he has professed to the Ospreys.
So... no friggin chance he's worth a punt. A first class winker.

Gavin Henson's the welsh Union bloke who was doing Charlie Church right?

Is he actually any good? Having never watched more than 5 minutes of Union at any one time, I honestly wouldn't have a clue if he had any ability or not.

I did put a wink after it

Sorry to change the subject, but does anybody know if Matty Smith had signed for Salford yet? Watching Saints v Wire and Eddie keeps saying he's about to sign. Never really noticed him (probably cos he's at Salford) but he looks good in a decent team.

Yeah he has signed for them.

I asked the same thing a couple of days ago. He'd be a useful player to have in the team

But unfortunately he's signed a 2 year deal with Salford. Hogging 2 young english halfbacks... disgraceful

On his day he is fantastic, one of those players with natural ability and class, but too many off-field distractions. In Wales, him and Charlotte were like Posh and Becks, but he enjoyed the fame a bit too much I think.

I would have him at the Bulls though, the publicity alone would be worth thousands.

Why's everyone going on about Henson?
