Transfers 2015/16

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Poor excuse @Peat, we've got Devoto as our ten backup and we're playoff contenders...

And how many games have you won with Devoto @ 10?

 

[ratsapprentice]

There's Olver and Mallinder at Saints too.

 

[Every Time Ref]

And how many games have you won with Devoto @ 10?

Hardly any? I think you're missing my point - having a crap backup ten is no excuse for not being in contention, ours isn't even a ten and were in contention.

Just joshin', like

 

[Patchey]

Fair point, just didn't cross my
Mind to think of Quins as pushing for playoffs

How very dare you! You cad!

Remind me, when was the last time Bath won anything?

 

[SelimNiai]

How very dare you! You cad!

Oh snap

 

[Every Time Ref]

When's the next time Quins are going to win anything?

 

[Patchey]

When's the next time Quins are going to win anything?

James Horwil and an ageing Adam Jones are coming to save us. Cower.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Yeah? Well EVERY SINGLE FOREIGN PLAYER THAT NON-RUGBY FAMS HAVE HEARD OF has been linked with us, so suck it

 

[ratsapprentice]

Just on Heem going to Wuss.... could he have it written in to his contract that he can play for NZ 7's?

It's just conjecture on my part, but there are a couple of Worcester players who are doing just that for England 7s.

Mentioned elsewhere but should be noted here too. Second Row Mick Kearney from Connacht to Leinster.

His decision to move to Connacht in 2011 when it appeared he was going nowhere with Leinster helped his career enormously. He was called up to the Ireland squad during November. Unlikely to be a star player but should provide good cover in the second row where he enters a rotation with Devin Toner, Kane Douglas, Mike McCarthy and Tom Denton.

He wouldn't be selected regardless. NZ 7s would retain the same policy as the All Blacks, in that they won't select anyone not contracted to the NZRU.

Heem is good, but in reality we could have some pretty devastating players playing on the wing for them come 7s. Potentially a Hosea Gear, Patrick Osbourne,. Julian Savea etc.

This is a good signing. The second row is definitely the weakest area of the pack, but with Toner, McCarthy, Douglas and now Kearney we have some very serviceable depth. Also, you can never have enough Kearnage in a Leinster side.

Please tell me you didn't just say that

Javiah Pohe (Leicester) ----> US Cassonne (French pro 2)

[TRF_Olyy]

Is Pohe that guy that was meant to be "the next big thing"?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Is Pohe that guy that was meant to be "the next big thing"?

Probably he is certainly a big player in terms of size.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Don't think he was ever regard that highly... just a bit of a unit.

 

[Peat]

Don't think he was ever regard that highly... just a bit of a unit.

I saw a wee bit of expectation about him that around the U18 level but that's about it.

Ultimately, if they're at Tigers, they're probably not the next big thing.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Definitely not while they're at the Tigers, anyway...

Pohe let himself down he was very unfit in preseason IMO and he didn't impress when they was a time he could of actually had a chance.

Ollie Bryant is IMO a better prospect than him and Charlie Thacker is another one who is currently in the academy with more potential.

We are looking for another starter type 12 and I could see him being behind:

New player, Allen, Bai, Roberts, Bryant, Thacker
