This is a rumour going round on a saints fans forum, and it bloody better not be true...

Dom Waldouck(London Wasps) > Northampton Saints

I wouldn't be too sad at that from a Wasps point of view. Waldouck seems to be nearly as injury prone as Mathew Tait. He is 24 and has had loads of serious injuries already. He is seen as a promising player, but has never gone beyond that due to his injuries.

Perhaps a better physio than the Wasps one could do him some good.

Patric Cilliers: Golden Lions -> Scarlets.

Barry Davies and Gareth Owen to London Welsh, having both been released by the Ospreys.

Another possible club for Owen
Who knew he was in such demand?

Sounds like London Welsh are taking recruitment tips from the Dragons ... recruiting from the other regions' discarded players.

Hah, we can't even afford to do that anymore, jokes on you!

Owen would be a good fit for London Welsh. Regular rugby may well do him some good.

Seems like Waldouck to Wasps (as mentioned previously in the thread) is pretty much done.

Like Duck said, I don't think this is a massive loss for Wasps. While he is a very classy player when fit and on form, he's injured so often you rarely get to see that.
12. Thomas
13. Bell
and then Daly pressuring for a spot too will be great for Wasps (and a Thomas/Bell partnership is going to smash a few attackers!).

I have mixed feeligns - gutted, but you're both right, Waldouck's played a handful of games in the last few seasons and never enough to string together some form. Sad to see him go, buit also quite excited to see him playing in a Saints backline - If he keeps fit, I think he'll do great and saints will get the best out of him.

The other thing is as you say Olly, he's arguably not first choice now.
Honestly I don't know what Thomas is like as a player?
Last season Bell looked good at 12, and that plus Daly at 13 could work well.

Henry,
Lee Thomas was a really solid physical player from what i remember, great defence. Sort of like a James Downey. I don't think he's improved in anyway since moving to Lyon, that place seems to be a graveyard for development. Plus he has a kicking game (goal kicking and out of hand) and decent distributing game due to his experience of playing at 10. I was calling for him to be in the Wales squad around 2007/08 when we basically had no centres, unfortunately he was banned for punching some guy in the jaw and he also missed out on selection due to injury.

Latest rumour is Gavin Henson to London Welsh/some French clubs/some English clubs

Thomas is a great player, I was really gutted when he left Sale.
Hit's like a freight train (in defence and ball in hand) and has good distribution and kicking as well (can slot in at 10 in an emergency).
Only downside to him was that he was often injured (would play one or two games and then miss next handful).



Edit: Just realised I typed out what welshglory did :lol:

How many Lyon matches have you watched this season?

So how can you say that? What other players were you thinking of as regressing there also?

Lee Thomas has just been suffering with injuries a lot this season at Lyon, I haven't read anybody on French forums say he's been especially poor on the pitch, the player who the Lyon fans seem to think is sh*t is Mark van Gisbergen he's really not impressed them.

Gavin Henson to somewhere.
