That is not a chimp, it's a macaque - who mainly play for
Gibraltar, which would explain the top.

Chris Jones on the bbc pod suggested that Furbank is basically a
done deal. Agree with the sentiment that he’ll be in to cover 10
& 15 which I reckon means Jev will be off which is fine with
Benson really coming of age this season.
People suggesting Porter can be upgraded on by Quirke need to
give their head a wobble. Porter is a class act and is one of
the league’s top scrum halves. Him coupled with with Friday
should leave us sorted for a fair few years with Townsend being
a solid 3 choice

Saints fans seem to think that Furbank's injuries don't suggest
a particular long term problem either, which is a little
reassuring.
Not sure I agree about Porter... he's let us down a few times
this calendar year and I think at best he is a steady eddie with
the occasional flash of class, which is no bad thing. He isn't
the guy to turn a game around for us in the way that Mitchell or
Spencer or JVP or Tomos Williams might. He's definitely been an
excellent signing but I think his ceiling is much lower than
those guys. Quirke is unreliable but his talent is undeniable.
Friday... I'm really looking forward to seeing him play more
often. Really think the kid's got everything he needs to succeed
at the highest level.

Porter is a solid player and probably comparable to Gus Warr for
doing the basics and being fairly dependable without setting the
world alight.

We also have Jake Murray who has shown himself to be more than
capable, probably a lower ceiling than Lucas but still a tidy
player.

For me, if we're going to get a new 9 in then it needs to be of
the level of a Tomos Williams or a Spencer, i.e..clearly better
than Porter.
I'm not on the Quirke hype-train. When he broke through his
sniping was a real differentiator. I'm just not convinced his
game management and decision making are at the level required.
There's only so long you can dine out on potential.
Tomos Williams departure from Gloucester has been announced
today..... seems Sarries bound sadly! He's a top player.
