YY only recently extended his contract. Rieder has re-signed. I think Ash will now be focussed on hooker, as age creeps up on him. Hask and Jones are the two most likely, but we have Willis up and coming. How long has Guy or Nathan got on their contracts? Dai knows what is going on, we don't. Down under the buzz is that Brad has told folk he has actually signed on the dotted line, as opposed to the rumours from 10/11 days ago. EQP as well, so Robshaw better watch out!!
Brad must like playing in yellow and black (the 'Canes colours)!!
Jones was officially on our 'injured list' this week in the team news. He has not always appeared on that, previously with the hint/suggestion that he was no longer injured but getting ready to play again. I really hope that the injuries from last year will not end his career, as that would be so sad for him. I know personally what it is like to be told you are fit to play again by the medicos and trainers, to find the pain back after just 20 minutes under full game strain. As a young amateur, I was gutted to be told by my doctor that I would not play rugby again, because it was the centre of my life at the time (18). For Sam it would be so much harder as it is his profession.
