As Teebo was a late arrrival (was it ever 'announced'?), I wonder if this was the reason. Sad news for Marcus.

That is possible, I'm personally surprised and saddened by the news.

I suspect yes, as Marcus Garratt isn't listed in the Senior Squad, so probably wasn't declared in the cap, as Dai was hedging. It is a massive shame, I wish him well.

Likewise. No real surprise I suppose but very sad for him. These last couple of years must have been hard. Good luck for the future.

Interestingly, Tibo is listed in the Senior Academy. Fancy that he will be promoted into the senior squad.

Sad times for all concerned.

Very sad for him and it just highlights what a  precarious career rugby is.

I'm wondering whether Dai could see the writing on the wall mid-summer and signed Tibo.

Chesty's ongoing fitness battle is also becoming slightly worrying.

Sounds very likely.

More like why Theo whatsit was signed. I think Tibo has been a surprise all round.

Yeah, that thought has crossed my mind. He seemed indestructible at one point, and his career was really heading upwards. I really hope he comes back.
