Confirmed Transfers

[ratsapprentice]

Brookes leaving Saints at the end of the season, destination unknown.

Maybe this might reinvigorate him to become the player he once threatened to be.

Doubt it.

Hill on the other hand...

.....hasn't remotely made the impact a lot of people were expecting.

Wasn't he supposed to be off somewhere as well?

 

[mkersyshull]

Getting no game time and currently fit, so I wouldn't be suprised

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Saints rumoured to be bringing in a hurricane TH so don't hold your breath on that.

I hope so, he's really good.

Is that a description, or is he from Wellington?

With the departure of Faumaina his chances of regularly making the AB 23 are quite high so I'd have thought he'll take a larger contract then expected.

It's Rugby Inside Line, so needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. Not a lot of what's been said makes that much sense to me - it he's on the verge of the AB squad, why wouldn't he require a large contract in order to be tempted north. The account also says that the fact that he's 27 is a factor in the possible move, but surely that's before a THP's peak.

Having done a bit of Googleing, it looks like Ofa Tu'ungafasi is in the frame to take the 18 shirt from Faumaina, but if Toomaga-Allan is next in line, he's only be an injury away from adding to his tally of 3 caps. Saying that, Kiwis seem to have an almost innate (although not always 100% accurate) sense of when international rugby has passed them by, so maybe he knows something we don't.

TBF he is good with the saints rumours. (Being a saints fan he mostly has an actual in somewhere in the club.

Hope you're right. Still a lot to prove though.

He's obviously got plenty of time, but you'd probably have to say he's now moving from promising young pup to slightly unfulfilled talent. Lots of hoary old clichés about props maturing with age (like all clichés there's an element of truth), but he's just about to turn 23, the age at which Vickery and Cole cemented themselves into the 3 shirt. Light years away from that at the moment and its not exactly like world class THs have been queueing up behind Cole. He needs to be first choice somewhere - he needs a break, but he also needs to make it happen through performance. If Saints are bringing in an expensive AB, the odds are its not for bench duty.

Solomona has signed a 4 year contract with us.

Obviously contracts don't mean a whole lot with Denny P) but I'm really happy with that, I expected him to move on - there were a few clubs interested, and he's recently split with his fiancee who apparently played a part in convincing him to sign with us, over Wasps/Gloucester, initially cause she lives in Manc

A Warriors fan on the Rugby Rebels forum reckons Josh Adams to Dragons is as good as confirmed.

He proposed knowing (I'm assuming) that she's been slangin with multiple professional rugby players... he's not the brightest.

Had heard similar although wouldn't be the first or last time that kind of **** happens.

Let's face it with his track record, she was prob worried Steve Diamond would marry him a year into her and Denny's marriage.

One of them being Yarde....must have made the first training session a bit awkward

TBH looking at Yarde's finishing rate Denny didn't have to be worried.c

Seeing him in an Irish shirt singing the anthems will be vile. Strange kid.
