[Feicarsinn]

Isaia Toeava could be off to the Canon Blues and London Irish have apparently signed Michael Worrincy from London Skolars.

That's been confirmed. Canon Eagles not Blues by the way.

Sorry, was only half paying attention.

Callum Bruce plays for them too! I love that guy.

Poor decision by him, although the Scarlets are a better side than the Dragons or London Welsh, I feel he would be guaranteed more game time at Dragons or London Welsh and both those sides would need him more. I couldn't see him starting at least not in the big Heineken Cup matches with the Scarlets, he would most likely be a utility back reserve bench player, which won't get him anywhere.

Yeah, we don't need any injury-prone players, but it's the thought that counts.

Reading on PR that Stewart Maguire may have left Connacht and re-signed for Newport Gwent Dragons.

Oh great, a prop that couldn't even make it in Connaught.
He is massive, I really don't see how one can be an effective prop at that height unless your hooker and other prop as equally as huge.

Tony Buckley 2.0 except he's rather timid in comparison.

And then to the NRL with the roosters from all accounts. Bit of a shame considering he was just realizing his potential in rugby. His management are obviously great at maximising his income, whilst at the same time not doing a lot for his reputation or perception. Good luck to him, sad to see him go but I'm excited to see him playing league again.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

True true.
Fair play to him for taking the money while he can, and at the end of the day he started out in league so it'd make sense for to play that again, does seem a shame for him to leave Union after such a short time though.

It baffles me when we consider how easy it will be for him out in Japan (no offense to the Japanese league, but it is no Super 15).

LOL Sonny Bill can become the Japanese Rugby version of Bob Sapp

I guess money talks, $1.7 mill NZD is pretty hard to turn down. Plus a lucrative NRL contract with the alleged ability to have a couple more boxing fights over in Oz. Should be a huge couple of years money wise for him. Official announcement below:

Nonu is the biggest benefactor in all of this, now he is automatic first choice.

No he speaks his mind. The rest is up to everyone else what they want to do with it. And he just relayed what the people in Samoa thinks.
