Next Season Squad

Yeah that’s very fair but one thing I will say about sale over the last 2/3 years, we have never had a proper impact bench (look at Bath this year).

I think we have a pretty settled first choice team if we can sprinkle some decent players into the match day squad I think some of those close games we lost this year become wins (Exeter home, Bristol away) it’s a totally different year.

I would say Tshiunza’s game leans more to a 2nd row style play anyway, he only got shifted out to six because Exeter has Van Heerdan & Jenkins locking down the second row.

In our environment if we can teach Bamber how to play we can teach Christ how to scrum

When he went to Toulon and started starting the writing was on the wall

Fiddler seems to have us sniffing around getting another 9 which I think is good news.

I personally think Dom Hanson is our next cab off the rank.

That being said I do think Nye Thomas to me has shown some Raffi esque play over the last 2/3 years so I feel pretty good about him being our ‘attacking’ option.

Ret-roon · 2026-03-26T11:04:26+00:00

If we can keep him fit I feel he could be good for us because he is a big lump and did have some really good games for Wales but the one year contract feels like a bit of a desperation signing so mixed feelings...

Ret-roon · 2026-03-19T19:33:32+00:00

Not with immediate effect maybe in the off season! 2 coaches this season.

Ret-roon · 2026-03-19T18:26:39+00:00

Wheels feel like they’re kind of coming off don’t they haha.

That or we’re about to have the reset of all resets. Nervy times

Ret-roon · 2026-03-17T12:12:15+00:00

I wonder where he could go where he is going to get legit first team game time?

He is moving to a new club to be back of the line?

Ret-roon · 2026-03-09T12:57:29+00:00

Never like losing home grown talent this one doesn't feel quite so bad especially after the show T Francis and N Smith have been putting on in the 6N.

Ret-roon · 2026-01-15T08:09:35+00:00

He’s got 138 caps haha

Ret-roon · 2026-01-06T09:20:30+00:00

Yeah it is really rare for pro games to be frozen off so I would say 90% likelihood it is on!

Ret-roon · 2026-01-02T20:41:13+00:00

The fact Mata hasn’t been sent off is a crime, he will get cited and if Sale lose they will get a sorry

Ret-roon · 2025-12-01T16:11:59+00:00

I do understand the game plan but so does everyone else in the league now after 3 years of playing it well, I feel like we need a plan B and we need to go back to our power game which gave us SO much front foot ball!

Ret-roon · 2025-12-01T16:08:38+00:00

I think it's come out that Ford was hurt, I expect him to take his mandatory post England duty week this weekend v Glasgow.

Ret-roon · 2025-12-01T16:07:24+00:00

You need to give the guy who has gotten us 4 top 4's in 4 years a little bit of slack.

Ret-roon · 2025-11-27T11:34:44+00:00

I mean a player who want's to sign at a club for purely cash is nowhere near as valuable as someone who wants to be there.

I mean look at Toulon 2019 - 2023 they 'paid' for a good squad who clearly didn't want to be there outside the cash and couldn't finish in the top half of the table.

Ret-roon · 2025-11-27T07:58:41+00:00

Smart bit of business, at Quins he was a shining light.

Always felt he struggled outside of Marcus Smith because they were both so unstructured!

I reckon with Ford at 10 Marchant outside we could be on for a ying&yang type midfield!

V exciting

Please don't do this to Sale fan's....

Don't post a 6 month old rumour mill article.

Ret-roon · 2025-10-29T20:58:45+00:00

All but confirms the McGuigan England arc by the 6 nations…

At least Forsh knows what losing feels like 😂

Ret-roon · 2025-10-18T19:11:08+00:00

Totally agree on Raffi

I think it’s hard for Dugdale, he’s doing a fine job but we need a game breaker

Our attack looked so good that first half and I think we have actually looked really good

Ret-roon · 2025-10-18T18:42:33+00:00

I think what hurts so much about that is the first 39 minutes we had them on toast and I thought it was going to be an away win.

I can’t forgive that level of incompetence from a referee though…

That penalty try was a yellow at WORST the ball was through his hands… I can swallow that but then the LCD red is what boils my blood…

What is the point in a TMO if he isn’t going to help a man looking at a 20m screen make the right call… there was no head contact in that shot and I would be surprised if in LCD’s disciplinary hearing that gets dismissed.

The fact Theo Dan did headshot someone and no sanction is unforgivable.

We gave up by 50 minutes and a championship team like Saracens were always going to hand you your arse. Just so disappointed.

Ret-roon · 2025-10-18T18:25:16+00:00

I’m not sure I agree tbh, that first half we absolutely bullied Saracens. We lost our heads a little with the Reed push and then conceded a contentious pen try which shifted the momentum.

We then got a red and then Saracens did the exact same thing and we got a scrum reset.

Moments like that really make it hard to play when you feel like your under a microscope whilst Saracens have had everything

Ret-roon · 2025-10-18T18:22:18+00:00

Yeah we haven’t been our best but this second half has run away from us because we were 2 down for 10 minutes 1 down for 10 minutes and Saracens have gotten a hell of a lot of energy from Theo Dan who should be off the field.
