Re: Danny Wilson's longevity. Thoughts ...?

Most of the players seem to live in Surrey area, Guildford is
the day to day base remember. I know it's not a cheap area, I
live just down the road, but I can't see it's a load more
expensive than Bath for instance or St Albans.
There is apparently a rumour, voiced by that perennial Quins
hater Jim Hamilton, that we're going to lose Bomb and Wilson to
Wales on a permanent basis....

No idea about St Albans but I'd say Bath is more expensive than
Guildford.

As a bit of an exercise around this, I've dug out our squad from
2021/22. We still had Faf, Manu, Lood, Solomona, Yarde, Akker,
Rohan jv Rensburg, McGuigan, Wiese, McGinty who (I believe) were
all internationals we had brought into the club.
Mostly, these guys haven't been replaced or it's academy
products. The obvious exceptions being LCD, Fordy and Hill.

Google maps shows travel time.
Choose the Surrey Sports Park car park.
If you then set travel time to "Driving" and 15 minutes, you get
to places like Aldershot - which I don't think are hugely
expensive areas.

@Yareet - are you doing a Jammy here?
"Doing a Jammy" - Using facts to back up an argument.

I do have a nasty habit of trying to back up what I'm saying!

And our Comms department is now so desperate we are reporting a
player that has left (who hardly played anyway) is off to coach
at Wales too. Can someone just invent a few rumours so I have
even a tiny sense of hope to cling to?

I suppose in fairness there is only so many times they could
rehash the Murley vs Bristol try

This seems an odd take on a valid story
