Transfers 2015/16

[TRF_Olyy]

Expected to be announced tomorrow (we've got an announcement planned and he's only back with us from England today).
Dan Braid has extended for a year and will join our coaching staff after.
Two great bits of news!

edit: drats, beaten. And by someone on a phone.

Good signing for Saints; they were getting light on second rows.

Quins update:

Matt Shields signs for Quins from Darlington Mowden Park, having been on loan from them this season.

Charlie Walker resigns a new contract.

Tim Sweil is now back with the Sharks after his loan expired I believe. Rumours we'd manage to keep him permanently were always sketchy. Might possibly come back next year though.

Simone Favaro Benetton Treviso to Glasgow Warriors

Simone Favaro Benetton Treviso to Glasgow Warriors

not a bad signing to be absolutely honest. just watch a tribute video off him, good tackler and a good rucker too.

 

[Andre8]

He's a really good player, on and off the ball! He has a lot of passion, excellent signing for Warriors!!

 

[Andre8]

After Favaro, Benetton Treviso looses Campagnaro. Lucky you, Exeter Chiefs fans!

[Irishkid]

That is a top signing if they could do a bit of work on his defence.

[SharksFan86]

Really pleased Cipriani has signed a new a deal, hopefully can keep his great form going and become a key player for England as well again.

Nathan Fowles has gone on loan from Sale to Edinburgh until the end of the season:

So long as he comes back the end of it (our loanees often have a habit of signing for who they're loaned to!) it's a good move. His return to fitness from a long term injury coincided with Cliff and Cusiter both hitting a fine vein of form, so he's not been getting many first team opportunities. With the A League over it's better he gets top level game time on loan somewhere than playing in the lower leagues.

 

[SharksFan86]

Agree it will be a good move for him and maybe he can force his way back into our plans for next season but like you say it is likely he joins them permanent at end of season.

He was named on the bench for the edinburgh squad for tonight's game. But never got on unfortunately

 

[rhyswesty]

Scarlets have signed DTH van der Merwe from Glasgow.

 

[SelimNiai]

Right. This is complex but

Tom Kessell - Pirates to Bristol (remainder of this season) and Pirates to Northampton for next season
Jamal Ford-Robinson - Pirates to Bristol. Loaned back to Pirates for remainder of this season, joins full time in summer.

Understand? Good.
