RBB, I'm sure I have read that he signed for 2 years, with an option for a third, but I could be wrong.
I agree re Searle and with Jimmy not getting any younger maybe signing Sopps for a third season might make sense. But I would have thought having a back up 10 on All Blacks starter money might be an extravagance Wasps can't afford. Add in the mental affect of an All Blacks 10 being relegated to the bench by a youngster just out of the academy and his form may plummet further.
we will just have to wait & see what happens.
re Daly, I certainly remember him not playing at anywhere near his best, but I also don't think he played well for England in that period so I wouldn't necessarily blame him, but you are correct that he still got picked regardless. and thinking about it so did Simpson, Cipps, Thompson, JCW.... maybe I'm talking nonsense then
