Transfers rumours

[Draggs]

Keegan Daniel, Sharks -> Ulster sounds like a done deal.

 

[Peat]

Eamonn Sheridan might be a very good piece of business based on what I've seen of him.

Lots of people Daniel is all but done.

A good move. I always like him as centre. He played against us before and was handful. A big strong ball carrier.
Grenoble will have nice Irish connections all over now

 

[Peat]

Hope it works for him, slightly annoying but possibly best for everyone. Daresay it wouldn't be happening if the injury gods had been kinder

Further rumours from the UAFC

Wiehan Herbst to come in from Sharks
Macklin & MacAllister also heading for the door

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

****. Rumour that Launchbury is leaving. Possibility that Bradley Davies is a replacement for him rather than Tom Palmer.

Herbst is now being followed on twitter by a physio at Ulster rugby. Is he a tighthead or a loosehead?

I can understand Adam Macklin wanting to move. He's nearly 25 and behind Ricky Lutton, Declan Fitzpatrick and possibly Wiehahn Herbst on the depth chart. He needs game time to improve his scrummaging.

Paddy McAllister has had awful luck with injuries. He definitely has the talent to go further.

I presume Nick Williams career is up for question too.
They'll have free NIQ spots too with Payne becoming "Irish" and Muller on way out

Saracens?
Would be really sh*t if true.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Yep as a replacement for Borthwick.

Don't quite believe it but stranger things have happened.

 

[Patchey]

Launchbury isn't exactly a like for like replacement for Borthwick though. Would seem a bit of an odd move on Sarries part.

 

[ratsapprentice]

There's been a "rumour" that they've been after him for ages... is there anything new about this?

As in: is this a rumour about Sarries being after him, or about him actually going?

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Sorry, should have specified earlier:

What we're hearing is that Launchbury is going to an English club which is NOT SARRACENS.
No source, sorry: word of mouth at the club.

Leicester? but why would Leicester need him??

but seriously i'm guessing Quins.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Could be Bath...

Attwood + Launchbury =

Highly doubt it though... in fact I find it hard to believe he's leaving Wasps at all.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Do Bath even have a salary cap anymore disgraceful.

 

[Patchey]

:O

 

[ratsapprentice]

Not sure whether that's a joke or not.

I'm a tigers fan I never joke.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Straight swap for Gaskell?
I guess I could accept that....
