Transfers rumours

[Saint2014]

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

Happy with that, centre is arguably our weakest position

You were right!

 

[AFalcon20]

Fearns would be a good signing for us Falcons but we aren't really short of back row options unless Hogg is going who knows.

 

[j'nuh]

Apparently Fissler's linking Glos with Jeremy Thrush in TRP.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Does anyone actually sub to TRP?

 

[j'nuh]

I don't, I got it from Shedweb.

Pretty hesitant on believing the rumour. It makes logical sense and I can certainly believe that we'd be interested, but I don't put too much trust in TRP.

 

[Geordie]

We have signed Argentinian Prop Juan Pablo Orlandi from Bath

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I'm going to say one of my own rumours here and Croft to france.

 

[SelimNiai]

RP's move to Barf may trigger a triangle of moves Preistland -> Barf - Henson -> Bristol (uh-oh) - Nicky Robnson -> Scarlets

How has Nicky been for you? Good attacking, average to poor defence, terrible goal-kicking?

 

[SelimNiai]

Wouldnt say goal kicking was terrible, inconsistent perhaps. Took flak for the missed kicks in the home leg of the final but people forget his play up at Rotherham in the 2nd leg of that semi won us the game pretty much. Would be a shame to see him leave. 'Course, this is just a rumour at this point.

Or whoever will have him given his recent injuries real real shame massive fan of his.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Wasps fans were rent in twain over Nicky - he was literally like marmite. Some felt his ball playing skills made it worth the low percentages but stats don't lie and the number of matches we lost because of a 40% kicking success rate...

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Doesn't Liam Williams want to show his kicking skills, trying to add a extra bow etc...

The extra string he needs for his bow is a very different one.... it's informally known as the 'don't be such a d*ck string'

 

[big ginger 8]

Eamonn Sheridan (L.I.) --> Connacht
Robbie Henshaw (Connacht) --> Leinster
Mick Kearney (Connacht) --> Leinster (apparently almost done)
Will Addison (Sale) --> Munster

aw come on let henshaw and kearney stay out west
its hardly as if they are a bottom rung team anymore

if i was a westerner id be a bit peeved losing henshaw for sheridan. might even have griffin bck first

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Will Addison (Sale) --> Munster

Pretty sure there's nothing in that and was just some random guy on Planet Rugby spouting off.
Addison is heavily involved in his family's farm - much like SOB at Leinster, I couldn't see him leaving it.

I half think that maybe the rumour maker got mixed up between him and Mike Haley? Half of Haley's family is from Munster, and he grew up supporting Sale and Munster equally.
He recently signed an extension, though.

Mick Kearney is actually from Leinster in fairness. He's the only one I consider likely.

 

[Groundhog]

Henshaw going to Leinster would be an absolute farce, and the IRFU would not want the backlash. He's starting for them, and it's looking promising that he'll be playing top flight European rugby next year. Kearney has a bit more sense to it, especially as he was close to signing for the Leinster academy a few years back. Still, why sign a second row off Connacht when you're currently loaning them a decent second row in Roux.

ah fair enough didnt know that

just be a bit concerned if other provinces where plundering their homegrown ones, they really have come on leaps and bounds
