So is that right two clubs have now let him go with one, really not happy with him

Indeed, and the way the French salary system caps squad numbers will also make it difficult for him to find another Top 14 club, other than as a ‘medical joker’. To stay in France he may have to look at the Pro D2.

I would have him back, we are still short a back three player, more so if Earle leaves as rumoured. But only Gabriel and the Club know how things lie between them.

Earle extended his contract a year ago and I'd be surprised if it was only for one year, so I'll also be surprised if he leaves in the summer.

I’m pretty sure it was announced at the time that it was only a one year contract due to the horrific injury suffered which I guess was a safeguard for us if he didn’t get back to his previous levels

I miscounted; with Lynagh and Earle included we’d have 7 back three players next season, which is about right (albeit we always seem to be short of wingers!) So IF the reporting on Earle moving on isn’t true, then I’m not sure we’d have space to bring Gabs back (if that was on the cards).

Next season might be a little too soon.  But certainly with possible academy contracts for Cleaves and Slevin next year, and Oresanya the year after, we have a lot of talent coming through in the back three.

I liked him as a player and his defence could be worked on but would I take him back, probably not now. Undoubted ability but he would have been better off staying with us and working on his game IMO. He would have has several games this season  had and could have really developed but seems he wanted to take the money and run, which is his choice but maybe not the best long term move. He needs to be playing regularly now so would think he's better off joining a club where he'll get plenty of game time and work on his defensive game.
