From his IG is seemingly back in California (including buying a car) maybe in advance of rejoining a MLR team for the imminent start of their season
I can understand if he does move but would be a shame, although I don’t see him as a starter in our current squad there is no better wrecking ball to create havoc in the last 20.
It would be a shame to lose him. Before Andre arrived, he was frequently the difference between winning and losing. But I can't begrudge him a move that would probably help with his international career, and with Andre, Jones and Anyanwu we are quite well stocked with 12s at the moment.
When did he last play for us?

Early last year - from memory had a nasty Achilles tear that needed an operation
It'd be a shame if he went but, as others say, we're fairly well stocked, and we are going to have to lose some players to get under the cap. While I doubt he's on big money, his wage might be used to give increases to the academy guys who've re-signed recently.
I see his wife is expecting twins in April too, so maybe time to move home and be closer to family
YeH, would have loved to have seen him and Andre for the last 30 minutes against a Sarries or Sale, would be absolute carnage. Still, as referenced above, he needs game time. Maybe loan him to the MLR with an option to bring him back?

I wonder if there is any possibility of some sort of dual registration? Retain his services on a pay per play basis possibly.

v Manu and RJvR? It'd be like Godzilla v Kong ... twice
we have some great youngsters coming through and we have to tighten the salaries we are going to have to lose a couple of players I would expect and those on the fringe like PL would be the ones I would expect to go. It's a shame as when fit I thought he was really good impact player but club have got to make some savings somewhere and I would imagine easier to lose a couple of fringe players and promote from academy to save some pennies, it is very difficult to get players to reduce their salaries.

According to the Quins site it was Wasps at home on the 9th May 2021. The 48-46 win when Mike Brown was sent off.
as good a signing as Geo Kronje
That's harsh!
PL has been good for us in several games over the years. He has had quite a few injuries, but he's played a vital role at times. Geo never played, but then apparently never cost is anything so not that disastrous (other than leaving a hole in the squad for the perennially requested baby eating lock)
