[psychic duck]

Samson Lee to Gloucester. That would be a surprise.

That would be a huge loss. For a 20y/o I thought Samson did amazingly well in his first full season. The Scarlets desperately need to keep a player like him, who could be an answer to their scrummaging woes given a little more development time.

Doubt this one. You don't sign Barclay then get rid of Samson because of financial difficulty when he still has 4 years of contract left...

Rumours gathering pace that Fetu'u Vainikolo is leaving Connacht for Sale.

Might as well post this here. Another fine try from him tonight real attacking threat.

Vainikolo is one of the most exciting attackers in rugby at the moment, dont think ive ever seen him kick the ball away when he has it! Marmions pass behind his back here was beautiful to, and its a what really opened up the Treviso defenders.

Jordan Davies: Sale Sharks ---> Salford City Reds.

Would be the third Sale player in two seasons to switch to league (though Thornley was in Wigan's academy before ours, so he probably doesn't count as a convert).

 

[pd rugby]

Matt o'connor ------> Leinster.
Daryl gibson -------> Leicester Tigers.

 

[thomond2006]

Fetu'u Vainikolo

Connacht ---> Munster

 

[thomond2006]

Brian Hayes (lock)
Scott Deasy (utility back)

Munster ---> Aurillac

 

[Tony Manx]

Dane Haylett-Petty, the Aussie who has been tremendous for Biarritz but injured for most of this current season, is to be released from his contract two years early....Apparently it is for "family reasons" but would be a shame if he was one of those who is being chopped because there a number of others who should feel it before him!

 

[Draggs]

Leigh Halfpenny is a target of Clermont's to replace Lee Byrne.
Wonder what that would do for Buttin. Nalaga, Sivivatu, Halfpenny... WOW!

 

[lucky number 7]

Is there any more chat on Digby coming over here?

 

[Croket66]

He signs for Stade Français

****...he'd have been a ringer for Leinster.


Instead we get Zane ****ing Kirchner..

Seriously , why take a man who is quite frankly one of the most ineffective and useless men to play international rugby..

"There have been approaches from teams in Europe," said Isles who remained tight lipped on his future. "My agent is working on it so there will be an announcement that I'm heading to 15s or staying at 7s soon. I don't want to say it all right now until it's done but I really want to be one of the best wingers at 15s. I'm going to work my tail off to show people that I still have my speed but I've got skill too. I want to prove a lot of people wrong. I'll play 15s for sure."

Carlin Isles to 15s....

Wasps?

Him and Wade would be lethal, and they already have Varndel. However like most high profile converts/players if he dose he'll end up in France.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Probably, I reckon that would be a bad move tbh though, French teams are a bit more concerned with what players can do for them, not so much how they can develop players than UK based teams, I feel.

 

[lynam1104]

I see where your coming from it would be best for the club, but I think some of these millionaire owners would just see him as a new exciting toy and throw lots of money his way.

 

[ratsapprentice]

They would, but they're also just as likely to throw him away if he doesn't instantly reward them, and from what I've seen the guy will need a lot of development.
Being around Varndell, who was for a long time considered just a sprinter playing rugby and Wade, who obviously has similar assets, would be beneficial to him.

 

[lynam1104]

I agree he would be much better off in the Prem, i'd much rather see him there but thats up to him to make the right decision.
