This is assuming he hasn't already signed to Sarries, of course!
Just interested to hear peoples opinions...

Definitely. Can play FB, Wing, Centre. Would bring a very
useful boot for long range penalties.

No we've got enough options at 15/wing/ outside centre for me.
Besides if we have the kind of money he'd be looking for spare I
think we need a good solid lock (or 2 if Horwill doesn't come
back) and I'm not sure we've got the cash for both (let alone
the celery cap).

As has been said above I believe that other positions need
strengthening first like our options at lock.

No, Brownie would be livid!
Got to think this move is purely financial and he's already got
or he's hoping for a marquee slot. Saints or Tigers maybe, not
Qs.

Doesn't quite make sense to me though, I think he's got to be
going somewhere for a 15 slot? But with Le Roux going surely he
could get that at Wasps.
I don't think he can be a marquee player for another premiership
club. Isn't there a rule about them not being from another club
the previous season?

Ooh, not sure. That would bar all existing prem players though
from becoming marquee players other than at their current clubs,
no? Seems potentially illegal or at the least distinctly unfair.

Yes - but one of the points of the marquee rule was to allow
clubs to defend a couple of home grown superstars if they so
desired. From memory, a marquee player has to come from outside
the existing premiership - which can mean an academy or a
foreign player. It's not illegal because it doesn't affect the
players' terms (it's purely a variation to the salary cap) and
it's part of a commercial agreement between the clubs. If it
were illegal, then so would the salary cap as a whole.

Is he a great player? Yes
Do we need more talent at wings or FB? Probably not
Are there other positions we’d do better to invest in?
Definitely
