Tait and Flood leave Falcons ..

[stimmers]

Mathew Tait has signed for Sale Sharks
Toby Flood has signed for Leciester Tigers

Cracking deal for Sale, as a Tigers fan, must say i don't rate Flood at all and think he's an average player. We have Mauger at 12 and Goode is a better 10 than Flood. Guess this might end the specualtion that Hernandez is coming to Tigers - which is crap news !!!

To be honest, I don't blame them. The Newcastle backline should be one of the most effective in the league with the names they have, but it simply isn't.
Maybe it's their forwards that are the problem, not giving them the ball they need, but whatever it is, the team doesn't work.

I think Newcastle could be in real trouble next season.

I agree. The other sad thing is that its pretty obvious Necastle will raid the Super 14 for overseas players to fill the void. Newcastle are doing a 'Northampton'

Yep - bloody stupid. Take 2 young English talents and farm them out because they will be missing during international weeks. Well done Newcastle. Great message for the game in the England. I certainly hope they do 'do' a Northampton.

Exactly what the premiership needs is another couple of ANZ's looking for a pension. It is looking more and more like the football premiership every season.
