    <p>Your game will suffer Crucial. You'll become muscle bound and will lose the ability to see space. :)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>But good luck!</p>

    <p>No big loss, that guy was a journeyman anyway. Him leaving will open the door for a more talented youngster to come through.</p>

    There's no substitute for experience. <br>
    At least I timed the trip over during the week off.

    <p>I see Macilai is declaring at present for NZ.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Now that the enormous stumbling block to his aspirations that is Jonny McNicholl is leaving, he might get a chance to show more of his wares next season.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Savea, NMS, Naholo...</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>He has a bit of a battle on his hands.</p>

    He has always said that, but was named in the Fijian RWC WTG last year, so I suspect he will play for them if they come knocking. He certainly needs a huge 2017 and a bit of luck if he was to force his way into AB reckoning.<br><br>
    Blackadder just seems reluctant to play him, even when EFABJM wasn't in the rich form he is in.

    <p>He was in the WTG for the June Series as well ...</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I guess it depends in part on whether Julian Savea can deliver this year & maintain his fitness/weight/motivation, and whether Naholo and NMS stay healthy. I think there's certainly an opportunity for another wing, but there are other contenders for that 4th spot on the wing. </p>

    <p>No contract period mentioned, but he will be missing the NPC to play as the Japan top league season starts early September</p>

    <p>I always thought MacDonald was a bit under-used.  Decent enough hooker the times I saw him play.</p>

    No. Hansen won't cut off his nice to spite his face. His job is to beat the lions not hand out punishments to players who sign to move overseas.

    <p>The Midi Olympique doesn't always get it right. I'd wait for an official announcement. Until then, this is just a rumour IMO.</p>
