Transfers 2015/16

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Mele he is leaving apparently Toulouse.

ATM we have Youngs and Harrison.

So Kitto (if fit will) most likely play a lot start of season and 6N's. Which should be a fair amount of game time.

Mele is coming to Toulouse! I've not heard that and I live close to Toulouse! How long has the rumour been circulating?

Just read this : http://www.francebleu.fr/infos/stade-toulousain/top-14-david-mele-toulouse-oui-mais-2291823
So it's official. Currently, there are 3 scrum halves, Bézy (who's playing well and is often partnered with Toby Flood), Doussain(equally at home at fly half) and the saffer Vermaak(not sure if he's staying).
I always thought Mele was good so for me, a good signing for Toulouse.

The SA media has been saying Vermaak is coming to us (WP/Stormers). I havn't heard it as 100% confirmed though (acknowledged by the player and club).

In fairness a lot was finalised weeks ago. Not a huge clear out as there's few more to come in. Like out of all departures only Paulies was decided in last 6 weeks.

Luke O'Dea deal is pending a few things and is linked to IRFU 7s deal.

Guinazu deal is linked to a new man coming on. We will sign Guinazu for another 6 or 12 months if we don't get other target.

I see it looks like Leicester have signed Dom Barrow from us. Mixed feelings on that one. He has the potential to be a very good player...but he's been wrecked with injuries that have halted his progress.

If Leicester can sort that out...they'll have one hell of a player on their hands. And huge guy.

Ironically despite losing him, lock is one of our strongest postions and our academy lads from last year are very good players.

London Wasps sign James Johnston from Saracens.
Good signing?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Depends which Johnston they get Quins or Sarries.

Considering they are alright in the TH department not sure.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah, he needs to be first choice.
Really poor without lots of regular gametime, but good with it.

Well, he's up against Cittadini, Jake Cooper-Woolley and Phil Swainston, so regular game time might be a struggle.

 

[munstermuffin]

Probably known but I think Paulies 2 year deal with Toulon will be official tonight

Aye been confirmed by word of mouth from Mourad Boudjellal apparently.

Was rumours he failed a medical but that was known to be BS around here. Paul's in better shape now than he was in any of past 3 seasons.

 

[nickdnz]

Hosea Gear to Clermont. Was criminally underused by the Chiefs this year, will be very good for Clermont. Hopefully it means they drop trying to get Naholo.
