       Gone to Newcastle
       As an aside, the interviews I have heard him in, he seems to be
       less interested in what sport he plays and more in where he can
       earn most cash

       pick up on your point, FAF, 'but who are reliably good for the
       team' how are we judging that? I would assume that we would want
       more than 3 try involvements across a season, even if he had
       lesser minutes, although his average minutes was 62 across the
       season, due to Murley & Roddy's injuries. His tackle percentage
       was higher than Tyrone's though, which was a shock but Tyrone
       has dropped off that a bit last season. His Dominant tackles in
       the league was 4 (TG - 6, RI - 4 & CM - 9) so he isn't far
       behind the norm, again with Murley as an outlier but Tyrone and
       Roddy played less games so on a level playing field, he still
       feels short. No pun intended....

       There's a limit to what you can get from stats. David has always
       looked good when he's been playing. Admittedly within the
       context that Quins have been shit overall the last season or so.

       He joins Newcastle in December. He's playing for Wigan Warriors
       on a one season deal. It looks like he's only getting offered
       one year deals at the moment. That would explain why he's
       jumping around so much.

       I can see why Wigan would look at a short contract - he was
       unproven in League - and Newcastle seem to be offering lots of
       people one-year deals
       (www.newcastlefalcons.co.uk/newcastle-red-bulls-sign-back-three-trio
       www.newcastlefalcons.co.uk/italy-hooker-hame-faiva-heads-north).
       Not sure what his contract at Gloucester was but he complained
       when he left that the money wasn't there in Union.

       Wade chasing the coin - can't say I blame him. He's nearing the
       end of his career so good luck to him.
       Nick David - quality runner with a beautifully balanced style.
       Not the glorious try scorer that we'd love, but seems to
       regularly make good yards and is a very reliable player to have
       in the squad.
