This year has gone fairly well for the Saints so far. We won the LV Cup. The only english team through to the quarter finals of the Heinekan Cup. Sitting second in the Guiness Premiership. There was a cloud however. Tiny (Soane Tonga'uiha as his real name, you can see why we opt for Tiny) had signed for the Saracens for next season. Now the Saints had taken Tiny from Bedford as a slow and overweight prop. Now he is a prop with a desire to be a wing! Well, OK, that's an exagerration but his intercept and break during the LV Cup final was incredible, he ran almost the whole length of the pitch. The point is that he is now up there as one of the best in the premiership and we were going to miss him.
Somehow something that started as a rumour, that Tiny had changed his mind and wanted to stay, has got more and more momentum. It's looking as though he is doing his best, but it is annoying the Sarries quite a bit. It's exciting news and I believe that the input from the fans, with threads on the Saints forum and even a petition on Facebook, has had a big impact on his decision. Unfortunately it is likely to get ugly before it gets pretty. I hope it doesn't distract the players for the rest of the season.
