Seems my spidy senses were tingling.

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.

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.

Not much chance of us signing Genge. He is a as strong a runner as we have playing for England but it is currently very thin. Someone making up stories. I quite like us being in the news & we have history. Thankfully we now have a gritty lot of players & coach so it really makes no odds.

It’s sad, but the KFP reference actually adds to it. Imagine reading any serious CEO attempting to sign players literally from another sport at a fishing competition. Part of the problem, I’m afraid. The solution appears very much that Chambers and Burgess continue uninterrupted, time to move on from KFP.

To be fair to our CEO the story could all just be a red herring

See what you done there, now get your coat and leave the building.

What does it say to young players in our squad striving for that position?

Bugger all ... cos they won't get sucked in to listening to crap.
