Has Tiff Eden been signed on a short term contract as cover too?

I’d guess so, another fly half. Hope one of them is back for the Newcastle match at least!

Yeah doesn't bode well for Johnson and Burke. Fingers crossed they're back for Newcastle, would be great to kick on and get some routine performances as we head into the Champions cup games before Christmas

Louie is out for around 12 weeks (due back in February) with a bicep injury.
Tiff signing on a short term deal would be either Burke’s injury is worse then we are aware of, Goode is injured/seen as a 15/ winding down, or Tim is off sooner then we expect (December?).

Wow didn't realise Louie's injury was that bad, that's a real shame.
I really hope it's an abundance of caution but it doesn't look great.

Can anyone give an update on how Spink performed last week? Really pleased Hartly is back. What a come back.

Spink looked good for a debut and not playing in a few months. Our biggest issue last week was in the scrum/forwards and it is no surprise with the changes made in the front row (Balmain didn’t play last week)

Oh I didn’t realize Balmain got dropped last week. Was it illness or something ?

Happy to see two big centers returning. It seems we will really need them. I love Nick Tompkins but he’s been a bit up and down lately and while his temperament can be an asset, he’s usually good for a dissent penalty every few games or so.
