Could be any number of scenarios with Bennett – the Newcastle link could be real, could be agent chat to aid negotiations with SRU/GW/ER.
If he has been told Glasgow would rather have Jones he may be a bit unhappy with the SRU machine and look outside of it. However he could also be looking at Matt Scott and seeing he has moved south is in top form but not getting into the Scotland match day squad.
If he is not getting a new deal at GW he has a big decision to make, would love to see him at ER but would not blame him for not wanting to move to us.
Mermoz is an injury joker. Or he was going to be, not sure if he actually signed!
I guess with Bennett he has done the living abroad thing, so he simply be wanting to stay closer to home unless he gets a really good offer. If Newcastle are the best offer he has away from Scotland then it would make sense to stay up here.
With Scott, one or a combination of VC, O'Halloran or Taylor must have real reservations about him.
