Would love to see Tyrer or Nanyn back in the centres. Class players at this level.

Nanyn is now a second rower! They have still not found his heart though!

So in summary, you are at the limit of salary cap and dont reside in France/Wales, due to that money being spent badly your ambitions are greater than your capabilities. In order to redress the balance you are looking to offload some contracted underperformers and replace with fresh blood.
The question is how? The underperformers will not give up their contracts and I am sure if they did some huge questions will be asked.

Tyrer's defence is absolute gash, just as bad as Hartley's but they are both they good attacking players although Hartley is far too injury prone. I would still have a fit Tim Hartley over Ste Tyrer though.

Are you kidding? Both are great kickers and admittidly not brilliant in defence but Tyrer is twice as dangerous in attack and alot quicker also!

In reply to IET, the thread on the TIW board about Tyrer was started by The Horses Mouth, who has been right on these things before, so it may not be a case of putting 2 + 2 together.

Tyrer is still only 20 so I don't think he would count on the salary cap.

As for the Korkidas rumour I know he was at the ground on Monday morning so something must be afoot.

Paying half of his wages on a loan deal would mean around £30K, needed to be freed up.

TKL not getting on with Cullen anyone?

I think Hartly has to go, still getting paid while on the sidelines, would'nt bother me if we saw Tyrer back here

ditto at least tyrer would play instead of hartley being on the sidelines just a waste of a squad place at the moment.

I'm not a big fan of Korkidas. He's just the same as Doran (in his current form) He's a penalty machine with no heart, but we know that Doran can be better than that. I'm not too sure Korkidas can.

At least Cullen is trying to do something about our lightweight, inexperienced, pack. I'm just not too sure that Korkidas is the answer, but I guess he's all that's available that would keep us within the cap.

I think Tyrer would be a good option, if we are looking for a decent Centre/Kicker, but I'd prefer to bring Nanyn back.

I'm not sure how they could bring in both Korkidas and Tyrer, without paying only a fraction of their wages on a loan deal?

Unless a couple of our senior players are being off-loaded?

Toa? Doran?

Webster?

Always thought Korkidas is a beast and if the lad comes to us it will be a great boost .
