Seems a realistic move, they have two quota spots available and suits the mould of props they tend to go for.

Lets get it right, he has had an average year so far, but should this deal go through it is again a travesty that we lose our best prop whilst certain individuals remain cosy in their undeserved place in the side. I would like to think we have a significant replacement should this prove to be true

Wonder if this would be to get AJ Wallace in

The problem is though who in their right minds would take off our hands the players that ideally need to go before the likes of Satae? No one is really going to come in for the likes of Houghton, Taylor, Evans etc.
As you say you'd think we'd have a player lined up before allowing a player like Satae to leave.
Maybe this is the start of the cull and major changes for 2024 , though it could also be a load of old b0ll0x

Wallace is a SR though isn't he? We'd need to add some size upfront if we we're to move Satae on

He is. Just a name that's been mentioned a lot in the past. Our 2nd row is also short on size/ability so it does improve us there.
Doesn't make up for the size of Satae but potentially thinking of promoting Staveley to full time 1st team.

I only mentioned Wallace because of previous links to him. Not based on anything I've heard.

Hopefully this isn't the 2023 equivalent of us letting Watts go mid season

Equally it could all be a load of balls

Re: Satae to Catalans after the derby : Mon Apr 03, 2023 10:54 am  

Ill be honest I couldnt care less who it is or if we have a replacement lined up. Get em out and get players in who want to be here.

Having a replacement is irrelevant, theyve done nothing for two years. Remember that.

If true I can't see any sense in this, why would we look to trade one of our only players who makes any ground, there's a lot of players I'd be looking to ship out before Satae. Unless he's asked to leave of course.

If we are swapping on a 1in 1 out basis, we'll end up swapping a half decent player.

Who wants to swap a decent player for a rubbish one
