He was never the best scrummager but he’d be an improvement over Sarries’ current options.

FFS we were linked to him before, hope that doesn't turn out to be true - WGJ would be way cheaper and is a competent rugby player

Falcons have signed centre Sammy Arnold from Brive.
We've signed some size and power in the backs now...and whilst we might lack the quality of some of the sides above us, we're going to be a FAR more physical team than previous seasons....

Yeah that would be crazy. He was starting over Joe Hawkins when fit; he’s still a proper talent.I know he has injury problems but seems very young to be at that stage?Ex-England centre Ollie Devoto to play National League 2 rugby

Must be by choice, surely?
Maybe has a post rugby career lined up in the area and doesn't want to move?

According to LinkedIn Guy Porter has retired due to injury
Formally announced. That’s got to be all our signings done now unless we are looking for injury cover for Burger O.
Falcons have brought in Alan Dickens as Attack and Backs coach.....
Could be another good move by Diamond...

Hopefully goes better than at tigers
Well from the story I'm hearing there was a big situation and he felt the tigers let him down....so left.
The short period he was actually coaching in the PRC the attack was apparently looking decent
So I'll watch with interest.
Pretty sure he and Dimes played together and then Dimes coached him, back in the day
I mean the RFU was investigating him how did he expect tigers to allow him to continue coaching whilst that was ongoing??
TBF the attack was looking decent granted against championship level teams (one we lost) against Sale it look pretty poor.
I think he would’ve done alright job though.
He was a interesting appointment to begin with considering though, given his background in coaching.

Don't know the full story that went on between tigers and him...but yes there was an investigation by the RFU...
Clearly Dickens wasn't happy with his support.
Anyway...it's a different tact by thw falcons bringing in an experienced coach rather than a total novice that has been our policy recently...

Leigh Halfpenny to Quins
Not sure why, weird move hahah

I thought he'd retired!
Mad move, unless you're moving him into coaching - said when he joined Crusaders it was a massive waste of a signing and he ended up playing 43mins for them

Injury cover, which doesn't actually make it any less weird.
I'd imagine it's Murley as he's had setbacks to his recovery. Imagine we'll start the year with a Green-Halfpenny-David back 3
