Transfers rumours

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Fearns is apparently moving on from Bath.

I heard to the Falcons, but with Mark Wilson playing extremely well, I can't see it - unless they see his future as a flanker rather than 8.
I'd gladly have him back at Sale, and transition Josh Beaumont into being a full time lock.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Quins could be a good fit.

They will strengthen Bristol's front row and back three with three or four signings this month, including Perpignan's Italy centre/wing Tommaso Benvenuti, with more internationals to follow next season.

Fearns to us?? Not heard that one yet.

However, he's a player I would love to see aside from he is injury prone, and we also have a lot of quality in the back row. Aly Hogg is aging though so maybe a replacement for him.

Mark Wilson is top class. Should be a Saxons this season.

Pretty sure Fearns leaving us is pure speculation on the part of the Quins board isn't it?

Swear there's been a load of nonsense rumours going around recently, mostly regarding players who may or may not (probably not) be coming to Tiggers.

haha. I mean generally, rugby paper etc, rugbynetwork.net... not just you ;D A recent classic being Ben Morgan going to Tiggers before his Gloucester contract extension was announced the very next day!

Wouldn't surprise me, but the only rumour regarding him was that he's in talks with Falcons.
It'd make sense with Houston signing on and Burgess moving to backrow soon

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

If we didn't have Smashley I've be massively keen for Fearns. Saints ?

Pretty sure that was me aswell .

TBH from what I gather we are after a big 8 and possibly a back 3 (If tait or Morris goes).

Also a 7 if Salvi leaves but that is obvious.

So apparently Vermeulen is edging towards Toulon, so Bath are after Kaino instead.

Please Leicester were linked to Kanio before Bath were.

TBH I bet Kanio gets linked to every top club in the AP (Bar glous), until it is announced where he is actually going.

 

[Saint2014]

Bristol to announce the signing of an international centre in one hour...

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Jamie Roberts

 

[ratsapprentice]

Olly Barkley

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

They shouldn't build up expectations like that unless they can definitely be met.

i remember when Wasps announced that we were signing "a capped All-Black..."
...it turned out to be someone who most of us hadn't heard of who simply couldn't buy a game for the Crusaders

 

[SelimNiai]

As I posted earlier it's most likley Tommaso Benvenuti.

Happy with that, centre is arguably our weakest position
