Plan for the most, hope for the best, but expect another unwanted holiday at some point.

The Daily Telegraph reporting that Manu Tuilagi is set to sign for Sale Sharks.
Exclusive: Manu Tuilagi to sign for Sale Sharks
Tuilagi had attracted interest from French clubs, but was determined to remain in the Premiership to remain eligible for England selection

@sparky Rob Baxter has said that Exeter Chiefs will shortly announce a new signing “that will have everyone licking their lips”. Tuilagi is the speculation. He’s already signed Facunda Cordero, Santiago’s little brother.
-
@sparky You were right. Now confirmed, Manu to Sale Sharks. Really has me wondering about the new mouth watering Exeter signing.

@sparky said in NH club rugby:
Both Owen Farrell and Maro Itoje have signed long-term deals with Saracens.
Not mentioned anywhere, but there is no salary cap in the Championship. Thus these guys can take ( for ex) a 3 year deal, with the majority of the money paid in the championship year. Thus after they inevitability get promoted next season, Saracens will be basically well above the reduced cap. Easy winning there, from the cheating bastards, with their 3 undeserved titles

Not quite. To be promoted to the Premiership you have to operate within the salary cap the season prior.

@Catogrande oh I didn't realise, my conspiracy theory out the window. They're still cheating bastards who should be striped of titles to!
