personally i think if we were to get rid of mcrae that might help!!

A big name signing would fail because we don't have the tactics to exploit any talent. It would be the same boring gameplay and the highlight of game would be the countdown clock finally reaching 0.

The only big name signing that would improve things would be a top coach and that would have to be an Aussie as there are no Brits that fit the bill.

I see where your coming from on this as I have myself wondered why we have possibly missed out on some chance signing.
Gareth Raynor being one although not a crowd puller
But if were mentioning name's could you imagine what the crowd would be like for a signing like jonah Lomu who is playing 3rd tier union in france

That's the kind of player I was trying to come up with. Not many around though.

Reckon Jonah would fancy signing for us in the RU off season?

Can't see him doing anything for us on the field, but could be a good publicity stunt?! (a la Dwain Chambers)

if we sign these two maybe john hopoate would come out of retirement

Why could he not do anything on the field ? he's only 34 same age as Talau

and playing a girls game so he wont be carrying any injurys

Someone like that could be massive for the club

How about Carol Vorderman, after watching her last night she appears to be a very strong right winger, and we could have the added excitement of the countdown music on the clock as it counts down to 0, plus at half time we could have four letter conundrums for the shed and the winner of the half time draw would be the fan who could get nearest to the drawn number using the numbers of the last 6 players off the park.

Think if got them two in we'd have half a chance of beating the Crusaders in the return fixture as surely Gareth Thomas would have other things on his mind

To be serious I reckon someone like Lomu would be a coup, on the playing front i've always suspected he would take toleague like a duck to water and even in the wendyball obsessed Manchester media Lomu would still make the right sort of headlines and would only ever increase the profile of the club nation and world wide.

Is Louis McCarthy-Scarisbrick a big enough name?

My old school drama teacher could replace Mcrae. From what I remember she was fantastic at bringing in props

Jason Robinson as coach if Sale decide to bin him when they get relegated

If/when the new stadium comes along I'd love to see someone like him at the helm. I'm pretty sure we'd have a far more exciting team to watch if he was in charge.

Yes great idea bring in a coach who just got a half decent team relegated !!!

NO, there is a vowel missing

Yes, Sale are exactly that " a half-decent team" when they have a full team on the pitch. I read today that Sale currently have 25 players out injured . Surely this (& international call-ups) may have something to do with their league position? Don't think you can pin all the blame on his shoulders. He is a household name & (from what I've heard) a very knowledgeable person. I'm sure there are probably a few Turkey readers that can tell me otherwise though.
