Confirmed Transfers

[Welsh Exile]

Bit harsh

Was tongue in cheek hence the lol. Having said that I don’t really care if he does well or not to be honest. If it’s a dream of his fair enough I suppose but it’s a **** sport and he’s leaving us so whatever. See ya later.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Realistically he can go do 2/3 years and come back 3 years before his prime and probably faster, stronger and more athletic, if slightly rusty on the rugby front

 

[big ginger 8]

He’s only 22, don’t expect him to make a real squad but stranger things have happened.

His speed will keep teams interested. Could easily do 3 years of **** all and come back with loads of money in the bank. Can’t really blame him.

Hopefully we're the best rugby nation in the world at that point, stocked to the rafters with wingers and we tell him thanks but no thanks.

Yeh if Wade can come back from having two major injuries during his NFL time and still get a contract with Racing in his 30's. LRZ will be fine.

Where do people think LRZ will play? Obvious choice is WR or perhaps RB but any chance he goes as a CB? Already knows how to tackle (mostly).

Probably too tall for cornerback but could probably play safety. Will be gaining a lot of weight before fall. Running routes is really hard but I think he could probably play defense.

What's the league minimum for practice squad players? I thought it was less than an international player / Lion could expect to earn.

 

[Groundhog]

LRZ won't go near the defensive side of the ball realistically. For a guy with no football background offense will be a better fit. He is obviously rapid with decent size for a receiver.

That and returning kicks will be his natural spot

 

[IT157]

LRZ and the NFL

Quite the news to wake up to this morning!

And I thought he was going to France.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

He's gonna come back in time for the next world cup with 15kg more lean mass, running a 9.5s 100m and with massive receding hairline and bacne

A couple years out of the wada environment will be great for him.

nfl actually pops a lot of guys compared to other sports it’s just that the punishment is a 4 game suspension and then you can come back.

Basically a slap on the wrist for not following team’s orders.

FTFY

Oh god he’s dating a YouTuber. I hope his visa gets rejected.

Henry Thomas --> Castres until the end of the season

Another welsh legend moving

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I’m really excited to see what LRZ can do tbh.

First time we have seen an actual international player move and he’s not even in his prime yet. Realistically he could spend 3 years being a kick returner and learn the game in practice session and still not be in his prime.


Personally outside the kick return option he might get viewed as a Slot receiver

Jamie George has extended at Saracens for "a few more years" - not heard any rumours of him leaving, but good to see him sticking around

Hopefully starts to fill more of a Schalk Brits role over the next couple seasons as Dan develops.
