....falls through according to Fissler in TRP.

Well that’s good news I suppose. He goes on to “understand” that Warriors are still in the market for a 10 and an 8 for next season, but have not had success with potential targets.

That rings true to me. Frankly who’d want to come to 6Ways at the moment. I’d love to have a private connection to DVdM and WH right now.

... and Marcello Copyandpaste-Frances has lifted the story and plonked in in the WN. I really do hope the story is true; Sharky is a legend.

Apart from a stand off and a No8 we need a lock and loosehead as well. By my reckoning we have only three or four more signings to be made so perhaps these four positions will be them?
34 players signed so far, plus hopefully Schonert, Lewis and David = 36. I dont see the squad being much over 40.

Believe we have a very good loose head coming.
It’ll be interesting to see who we can attract given the current season’s form. Have we ever had such a poor run, even in our 2 relegation seasons?

Don’t know how true, but gone quiet yes, but gone away no.
Still think he will come, but I’m still wearing my rose tinted glasses.

Simple really, depends on whether a player is signing for the vision of the future as told by JT, or for our historical pedigree !

TRP today does a complete about turn and says that Sharky has signed for Sale on a three year deal.

I don't know what to believe from TRP any more, but they also say we are after Owen Williams at 10 and Wasp's No 8 Sione Vailanu. Now a big Tongan 8 would be handy.

A big FIT Tongan would be good - this would be a good test case for out new (alleged) S&C coach. he was quickly passed on by Sarries and doesn't seem to have made much made impact at Wasps

I watched Newcastle vs Wasps a few weeks ago and thought Vailanu was Wasps best carrier that game. The commentators seemed to be heaping praise on him. If he's a bit raw it's still probably worth a punt - a few comments from Wasps fans on Twitter not wanting him to go.
