| Quote Shark J="Shark J"Really? What's Tait ever done of any worth?
'"
He appeared to be the only back who had a clear idea about making a clean break in the England squad during the 2007 RUWC and was arguably the best performing back.
Quote Shark JAll there is to his game is to run at a few players, duck and weave and eventually fall down.'"
He rarely falls down since he tends to be strong in the tackle, his technique in tackling until recently was better than most.
'"
Worst thing he ever did was move to Sale. Look how his form, confidence and fitness nosedived while at Sale. Compare and contrast him with Flood when he left Newcastle (Tait was a much better player than Flood at Newcastle). He would not be the only Sale player greatly under-performing at Sale. I am sure if you had taken Anthony Allen, Danny Care and re-signed Ben Foden similar things would have happened. It is interesting how Ben Foden's form and skillset improved markedly within months of moving to Northampton.
Quote Shark JCJ - I am! I know he's a good player but for Sale he's never really done anything. One of those names the Twickenham Boys love but doesn't really do much at club level.'"
As mentioned he was an excellent player at Newcastle he was receiving similar comments as Ben Youngs and Courteny Lawes have received very recently from coaches of other teams and senior players. The fact that his career dive bombed shortly after arrriving at Sale must be more the mere coincidence.
The blame for that clearly lies with the coaching set-up at Sale. Will be interesting to see what happens to him at Leicester.

According to Rugby (union) World magazine, Alex Brown, a highly promising winger from Batley has signed for Sale Sharks.

Poor man's Jermaine McGillivray.
That said, Danny Williams did alright when he went from the Rhinos to Newcastle Falcons, so Brown might make a career for himself. |

It used to be a maximum of two foreign players on the pitch at any one time, at all periods during the season.

| Thanks cj  Listened on the radio and sounded like an absolute cracker. Will be home for the semis so will ask someone to pick me up a ticket as soon as they go on sale. If we do lift the cup this year we'll have done it the hard way.
