Alex Sanderson confirms interest in bringing Luke Cowan-Dickie to Sale Sharks
Sale Sharks head coach Alex Sanderson has confirmed his interest in bringing England hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie to the club. Cowan-Dickie, currently a hot prospect in betting online circles for his performance, is contracted to Exeter Chiefs, but his deal is due to expire at the end of the season. Sanderson, keeping an eye on the odds and keen on improving the club’s standing for those betting online, is looking to strengthen his squad ahead of the 2023-24 season and believes that Cowan-Dickie would be a valuable addition.
“Luke is a world-class hooker and would be a great addition to our squad,” said Sanderson. “He is a great leader and would bring a lot of experience to our group. We are still in talks with Exeter, but we are hopeful that we can get a deal done.”
Cowan-Dickie is a highly-rated hooker who has won 44 caps for England. He was part of the England squad that won the 2019 Rugby World Cup. He is also a regular starter for Exeter Chiefs, who have won the Premiership title four times in the last six seasons.
If Sale Sharks are able to sign Cowan-Dickie, it would be a major coup for the club. He would be a key player in their bid to win the Premiership title for the first time since 2006.
Manu Tuilagi signs new contract with Sale Sharks
England center Manu Tuilagi has signed a new contract with Sale Sharks. The deal will keep Tuilagi at the club until 2025.
Tuilagi has been in excellent form for Sale Sharks this season. He has scored 10 tries in 13 appearances. He was also named in the England squad for the 2023 Six Nations Championship.
“I am really happy to have signed a new contract with Sale Sharks,” said Tuilagi. “I have really enjoyed my time here and I am looking forward to the future. I want to help Sale Sharks win trophies and I believe that we have the potential to do that.”
Tuilagi’s signing is a major boost for Sale Sharks. He is one of the most talented players in the world and he will be a key player in their bid to win silverware in the coming years.
Ford says Sale need ‘finals mindset’ in bid to end 17-year title wait
Sale Sharks fly-half George Ford has said that the club need to have a “finals mindset” if they are to end their 17-year wait for a Premiership title. Sale have reached the Premiership final twice in the last four seasons, but they have lost on both occasions.
“We need to have a final mindset,” said Ford. “We have been there twice in the last four years and we have come up short. We need to learn from those experiences and make sure that we are ready when the opportunity comes again.”
Sale Sharks have a good chance of winning the Premiership title this season. They are currently in second place in the table, just two points behind leaders Leicester Tigers. They have a tough run-in, but they have the talent to challenge for the title.
If Sale Sharks are to win the Premiership title, they will need to have a strong mental game. They will need to be able to handle the pressure of the big games and they will need to be able to perform when it matters most.
Conclusion
Sale Sharks are a team on the rise. They have a talented squad and they are well-coached by Alex Sanderson. If they can continue to improve, they will be a force to be reckoned with in the Premiership for years to come.
