Francis Saili

Looks like he’s off to France. Biarritz seems to be the
location. Never really got our monies worth from him. So we are
losing some expensive players, Sinks, Robshaw, Saili. We must be
signing a few more big pay cheque players.

A talented player but complete sicknote and we were probably
paying top whack for him.
We have a very decent 1st choice set of backs without him and a
bit of promotion from within is worth a punt.

Normally I would agree about a few big name players, but this
could be a chance to cut the cost of a few players in the
squad??. However, still being linked with quite a few players
so I suspect you are right (Plus the fact that most deals would
have been done already, pre Covid)

Good player but like others have mentioned, too injury prone to
be worth re-signing on that kind of money. Especially with 12
being a relatively strong position of ours (when healthy)

Looks fully confirmed on twitter with comments from Care and
Monye responding to Jean-Baptiste Aldigé. Guess this was always
going to happen with the singing of Esterhuizen and Marchant
signing a new deal. Shame it never happened for him at Quins.

Thanks Francis - gave everything when he was able to get on the
pitch - but can't help feeling this is the right move for him
and for us. Our options in the centres are really strong:
12. Esterhuizen/Lasike/Taps
13. Marchant/Lang/Northmore
And that's just my top 3 in each position. Be good to see if the
likes of Lennox Anyawu can push on and add competition next
season...

Am I correct to assume that will be both Marque player spots
available? Therefore would Esterhuizen and Louw be the new ones?

Not sure about either tbh. Robshaw was apparently on 340k,
Esterhuizen is rumoured to be on the same. Im not sure Robshaw
was a Marquee player (Could be wrong). I think Sailli and
Marler have both been mentioned in the past. Considering we were
chasing Du Toit, I suspect we still have a spot left
