Barely 6 figures it says - so probs a smidge over 100k - plus match fees.

Plus a bonus if he behaves himself. I hope.

Fuck that's sad.

Fuck that's sad.

also smart and what almost everyone on this forum would expect.

Absolutely.

I'm commenting on the fact a grown man has such issues. Hope he can sort it out.

 

[Froggy]

With luck he'll only cost us one match!

Until he f*cks up, i will hope for a good redemption story

Horton to Leicester

Horton to Leicester

Think this will be good for him. The strong emphasis on set piece should strengthen his game, that's his main weakness at the moment.

Doesn't seem big enough to develop anymore tbh. Same issue as Hugh Roach.

Good club to get to but he's also going to be sitting behind some class Hookers there. Not sure if any of these guys are leaving but they have Julian Montoya (75 Arg caps), Nic Dolly (1 Eng cap, born in Sydney.....) and Charlie Clare (played almost every game last year) Youngs retired but time on the field might be limited for him at the Tigers.

Leicester to fill hooker gap with short-term Super Rugby signing

Premiership champions Leicester have reportedly signed NSW Waratahs hooker Tom Horton ahead of the September start of their title defence.

Premiership starts 9 Sept. According to article, injury cover. Nic Dolly suffered bad injury.

Montoya has the rugby championship on and Dolly is injured, they've picked him up as injury cover. The articles are calling it a "short term deal" so it sounds like a single season and maybe he's still signed with the tahs.

I doubt we have him, I think having 4 hookers on the roster is very rare. We have Porecki, Latu and Vailanu.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Hopefully for him he has some good game time for the Tigers and picks up another contract over there.

Be at the SD Legion otherwise

And there is always Ed Craig.

More athletic though. May suit as a NH 7? And although I don’t disagree, DR like Lonergan at the Brumbies and he’s hardly Andre the Giant.

Jokes aside, that was a nice moment for him last year.

New ground looks nice:

The first sneak peek at the new Allianz Stadium

Despite all the challenges, from a political backlash to Sydney’s torrential rain, the new Allianz Stadium has been completed. Here’s a first look inside.

If it is anything like Parra it will be great

It is going to be interesting, they have apparently cut out parking on the Moore Park fields, so the light rail will be smashed, I think there will be a lot of walking down to central
