Itoje

There’s a reference in the article below to us having interest
in signing Itoje who is out of contract at Sarries at the end of
the season. I assume that most clubs would have an interest, but
anyone know if ours has any serious intent or likelihood?

His history under Gussie maybe gives this a tinge of realism?

Could we afford him? Must be after close to £1m - maybe £800k.
Perhaps if Horwill is calling it a day. Would rather pay a bit
less and have someone who will be available more often.

I'd rather sign someone who won't be away half the season too,
cracking good player though he is. Is Horwill in contract past
the end of this season? It really hurts us when we lose too many
during internatinal windows. Although I think that Robshaw may
well be around more going forward, if he does go to RWC next
year I can't see him doing much beyond it.

I think we can file this one under unlikely. Not a snowball in
hells chance this will happen unless something is about to go
horribly wrong at Sarries and I really don't see that happening
either.

Itoje has played 7 games for Sarries so far this season, and
played 14 in each of the past two seasons. For comparison,
Horwill played 15 in 16-17, 12 last year.

I think someone like Lood de Jager is a better option and will
be available more throughout the season.

Given how he's building the side, I can't see that Itoje works
for us -- as others say, he's guaranteed not to be around and we
need second rows already let alone needing one to cover him once
he's here.
