Confirmed Transfers

Jordan Williams signs for the dragons from Bristol.

Still one of the most devastating open field runners I've seen. If they can get the best out of him, they've got a real gem there.

if Tyrese Johnson-Fisher commits himself to football he'll have a shot of making the pros

nate ebner played rugby until college and we've even had guys play basketball all the way through college and then switch to football

it's not exactly the hardest sport to pick up in play if you have the work ethic to keep your physical prowess

Mallinder sacked.

Dammit

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wouldn't be surprised to see him end up at Sale, reunite the diamond/mallinder dream team

 

[Bluemoon]

Olly Robinson signs for Cardiff for next season after a really good loan spell.

With him, Ellis Jenkins and the occasional game from Sam, that should ensure Cardiff have an out and out fast 7 for the majority of the season.

Wasps bring in Dai Youngs future replacement when he takes the Wales job after 2019.

Hibbard to Dragons for next season.


Jackman starting to build a squad all right.

Have Dragons had any investment or is this all down to the Union?

Think the JustEat guy is investing some money as well. probably helps that Hazel wiped all their dept when he left as well, so unlike a lot of other regions/clubs, they're not currently in dept.

In fact the WRU have stated that they aren't giving any extra money to the Dragons, if they did they'd have to match the same for all the regions.

If they can secure a prop or two + a second row, they'll be looking really strong for next season. The likes of North and Faletau would be bonuses on top.

Dammit - I believe Bath were sniffing around; and I was quite hopeful that we'd get him.

Looking at it Practice squad players can make a minimum of $7,200 a week with the regular season at 17 weeks + 6/7 weeks preseason = $165,600 or £122,742.72 which is a lot of money for just practice work.

NFL could be a serious lure if they start actively poaching players that are not in the International level. Even just 1 season making a go would be worth it.

Just to add in there is a special treatment on roster for these type of project guys too. The NFL exempt them from the cap too and offer incentives to make them commit to 3 years at least. But they do a bit longer training as in the offseason they do the camps etc that some college guys attend etc

After several years of speculation Lewington to Saracens is finally official

 

[ratsapprentice]

Earle to Quins soon then I’d imagine.

 

[Which Tyler]

Isn't Earles rumoured to be getting plenty of interest? not just Quins

Imagine Wasps would be in for him with losing Bassett.

Yeh, but Quins has the most rumours and the strongest links.

Ben Betts confirmed leaving Tigers.
