Two England internationals among 16 players exiting Newcastle Falcons
By Kim Ekin
Newcastle Falcons have confirmed the 16 players that will exit the club ahead of the 2022-23 Gallagher Premiership season.
The list includes former England international Mike Brown and Luther Burrell.
Two-time Premiership title-winning full-back Mike Brown made 16 appearances for the Tynside club, scoring two tries and is currently in the market for a new team.
32-year-old centre Burrell is also weighing up his options after he was released by the club.
Gone too is Italian secondrow Marco Fuser, with no current destination listed in the release.
There is also no room for former England and Great Britain Sevens international Ollie Lindsay-Hague. He joined the Falcons last summer on an initial short-term loan deal, making two appearances and scoring one try.
Against this, Newcastle have so far made six senior signings for next season in Leicester’s Argentina centre Matias Moroni, Ospreys fly-half Josh Thomas, Bath fly-half Tian Schoeman, Coventry scrum-half Josh Barton, Doncaster lock Josh Peters and Austin Gilgronis lock Sebastian de Chaves.
Head coach Dave Walder said: “It is the time of year where players move on and things take shape for the season ahead, and it is only right that we recognise the contribution of the guys who will be leaving us.
“We thank them and wish them well for whatever they go on to do, and we hope they will all take positive experiences with them from their time at Newcastle Falcons.”

“bring in a double bonus point instead” I don't think this is a great idea. We need the premiership to be a breeding ground for test match players. If we try to turn it into a defense optional try fest, we're going to come unstuck. It's not like teams really need an incentive to score more tries once they get to 4 tries.
England will no doubt benefit from more highly skilled attacking players (assuming they allow them to play with some autonomy) but test matches are rarely high scoring affairs. It's good that our players are becoming more skilled, we've long played second fiddle in those stakes to the SH (and still do) but the players also need to learn how to grind out gnarly wins. The Premiership is already a very high scoring league, we don't need to push it any further.
