Ep106 - Disappointing defeats to Gloucester and Northampton, contract woes and Sale preview
Episode description
Not a great week for the Bears with disappointing loss against Gloucester in the Premiership Cup quickly followed by a league defeat away at Northampton. Hear our thoughts on the player performances, tactics and where it all went wrong... again.
To make a bad week on the field worse, news broke of Bristolian Dave Attwood's departure at the end of the season to join Bath. Then the Daily Telegraph's revelation that a contract mess up means six players who were due to leave the club have been given one year extensions, due to a missed deadline, leaving a reported £400k gap in our salary budget for next season.
We discuss the how the gap may be filled and what big names might be on their way out to balance the books.
Plus our preview of the European game away at Sale with our friends from The Shark Tank podcast.
All this and more on this week's show.
