Top quality signings

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Fitzgerald would have been a good signing for Quins aggressive lock who also plays 6.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Ed Griffiths (Sarries' Chief WUM) is leaving them at the end of the season... let's all keep our fingers crossed that he's leaving the game.

I said this was a good signing for Tah's and got into a bizarre conversation with Ben Darwin who pretty much said it wasn't (guessing they didn't use his company to broker the deal).

Brilliant signing for Edinburgh but i don't know why we keep buying players who play in the backrow when we have so much but is a good player. While for Glasgow another poor signing as they are selling they're best players, But Kieran Low is a good player but Glasgow can seriously do better.

 

[Irishkid]

Low is alright but has been struggling recently and isn't sure where is best position is. Also explains the Trayfoot signing.

Blaine Scully
Leicester Tigers --------> Cardiff Blues

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/32030485

Rumoured a little while ago, so no huge surprise. However, I am concerned this means one/both of the Cardiff Argentinian internationals have been lured away to the new super Rugby franchise. They have been a glimmer of light in what has turned out to be a difficult season.

Nasi Manu - To Edinburgh from Highlanders

Edinburgh Rugby announce the signing of back row Nasi Manu, on a two-year-contract, expected to be effective from the end of the current Super XV season (summer 2015).
After making a fast-track debut for the Crusaders in 2008, where he held the distinction of playing first-class rugby before even playing club rugby, Manu moved to the Highlanders in 2010, where he is in his second year of co-captaining the side.
A keen Canterbury man, Manu has played Provincial level for Canterbury since 2007 â€" with whom he has won six ***les â€" making a try-scoring debut against Counties Manukau.
