Rumour on the LU forum that Rocco Berry might switch to rugby apparently

 

[CWC]

Watch the mid segment of 360, a bit of discussion about the debate -

Everyone’s happy for Tanah.

White suit guy who apparently broke the clarification story said it’s not confrontational, tried to say it’s calm

Anasta thinks it’s strange and a bit premature. White suit went speechless for 5 seconds Anasta insists the Boyd/Metcalf combo will work

Brent Read mumbles he won’t be there next year, Anasta shocked, “they will let him walk?” Read says he wants 7, they’ll be fine, convince CHT and they have Jett and youngsters coming through. Anasta shaking head with subtle wtf expression

White suit says ok maybe signing Tanah is a way of telling Luke to either play 6 and toll the line or look elsewhere

Gordie was silent the whole time Did congrats Boyd for the hard work

Anasta not sold at all

It’s a similar bemusement when he sees Sexton moved to hooker and Mahoney benched.

They do all think Mets will be snapped up instantly
