2023-2024 transfers

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Sarries have signed balmain from Gloucester. Thats either a great move by Gloucester or another nail in their coffin.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Dan Lancaster signing isn't going down well in Paris

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Honesty the Tigers bod should be going to clown school

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Confirmed

 

[JG-21]

You'd like to imagine the collective future direction is up the table.

Maybe they had differing opinions on Saudi investment?

Sounds like senior players said they wouldn't re-sign a new contract unless changes was made

Interesting, we'll see what changes they wanted by who they hire I suppose

Any idea on the type of changes? Different style of rugby? Different training week? All very odd

Players I think just didn't buy his vision. He got the season and game tactics wrong is the general believe. With a desire to play more open from the players.


I think Dickens not staying as attack hurt McKellar and he was able to think on the spot to develop the attack plan.

Rob Webber: Saracens recruit ex-England hooker to coaching staff

Former England hooker Rob Webber is to join Saracens' coaching staff after a spell in the United States.

Good pickup by Saracens, by all accounts he's taken to coaching like a duck to water

 

[duncanb]

Sam Matavasi to leave saints to play abroad.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Got anyone coming in? That's two senior hookers gone, and Matavesi got a fair whack of time last season, not like he was just a squad player

 

[duncanb]

Langdon, and Smith guess as 1 and 2 3rd choice is England 20 s hooker Wright so looking a tad thin now in pack.
Waller x2
Courts,
Ludds
Moon
Hill
A huge chunk of experience gone.
looks a forwards rebuilding project for us.

Clermont have confirmed Slimani to Leinster.

 

[munstermuffin]

Clermont have confirmed Slimani to Leinster.

Crazy money reported. Can't comment if it true but must have some truth been that he is sacrificing coaching gig for it.

Regardless on playing ability I suppose it a smart deal for that 18 shirt

 

[Flankers' paradise]

The league as a whole looks a bit thin on hookers at the min. Saints have 3 and bris/glaws/falcons have 4

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

If we (saints) want to keep Robbie smith, he has to be 2nd and not third choice. Then if we want to keep Wright (the very promising under 20s hooker), we need him to get some game time and that's at third choice.

So in theory we are looking to sign an older experienced hooker at 4th choice who may not even get a game outside the prem cup.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Can't remember if I said before but I just remembered I heard that you're signing Curtis Langdon's younger brother (also a hooker) - I'll be raging if that's true and we waste all our money on Dweba
