Feb 6th is National Give Kids a Smile Day... or alternatively International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation (which would wipe the smile off of anybody's face!)

Not quickly enough if you are a team manager, Glasgow picked Hodder who in their view has more potential, Oxford picked Wood and Ritchings who had points to play with so could easily have picked Perry, most teams could have had him, maybe get a team place later in the year for someone.

If Northampton don't have a No.1 and end up being the 2025 Oxford Spires then the higher ups will have a lot to answer for imo. Even I won't defend them in any way on this one.

Maybe it's the date Brady met his partner?

Have to say it makes it less likely, and if it does happen more likely to be 2027, otherwise 2026 could be financial folly especially with no time to do pre-season marketing and promotion. At least it probably means Ipswich has gone from 99% to 99.9%

I'm not concerned when it comes to Jenkins, If it wasn't for injuries then I think his GSA would be even higher tbh. Jenkins and Edwards will be the 3 & 4 Pairing for Redcar this season and more than likely the 6 & 7 pairing for Ipswich so that can only be a benefit to both Clubs. Danny King will be the worry (If signed) because Mayfield will be signing him on a GSA attained mostly @ No.2 and depending on Team Building, Danny could very well end up riding as a Heat Leader this season. A lot better options on similar GSA's like Tobi Musielak and Nicolai Klindt to name a couple.
