Taione Vea London Welsh to Newcastle Falcons TRP.

I wouldn't be too excited, mate, he's pretty mediocre.

He's not mediocre, he's completely terrible

 

[AFalcon20]

Hope we don't get him then.

Kevin Locke: Marwan's Magicos --> Scotland?

:lol:

I'd have him back home at the warriors any day.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Why did he leave?

Off-field issues?

Sounds a goer to me, immediate too.

Request for rumours here, desperate to know if anyone knows anything about new coaching staff coming to Wasps? It was well publicised we're expanding the staff, we were hoping to make Goode skills coach, and there were heavy hints in a piece about Live Fast that we may have a Head Coach coming in, on top of that Stephen Jones is off!

Paul Hill: Yorkshire --> Northampton

Great signing for Saints, pretty depressing for Yorkshire fans... the reality seems to be that they are going to need to buy themselves a team in order to be able to keep their own players.

Mike Fitzgerald: Waikato Chiefs --> Leicester

The guilty is the NZ Rugby World magazine who uploaded the news 9 hours ago

Not blaming you, Conrad, but been in French papers before which is probably where this paper got it from!!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Scully --> Cardiff Blues Done deal.

I will miss him.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Quins apparently after Roberts or Visser.

Scully --> Cardiff Blues Done deal.

Bit of an odd move, that. Tigers gave him his first real chance at rugby, and he's been getting decent game time - with Tait off this would only increase too.
Unless Cardiff offered more money that Tigers? Or Tigers didn't want him because he's an international?

 

[Tony Manx]

Quins apparently after Roberts or Visser.

I reckon they need a fair few new people brought in if they are to get back to the top and one wonders where they are going at 10 because old Nick is getting on and not at the peak he was a couple of years ago....surely they are not going to pin their future on Botica?

 

[ratsapprentice]

I have a feeling they are going to go after Swiel.

Centre is definitely a big issue - as is physicality... so Roberts would be one of the best signings they could make IMO.

 

[Tony Manx]

Has he gone back to SA?

Centre is definitely a big issue - as is physicality... so Roberts would be one of the best signings they could make IMO.

And give him a chance to keep his scooter!!

 

[ratsapprentice]

Swiel's loan has ended, yes.
But he seemed to enjoy himself and unless he becomes a regular starter for the Sharks I wouldn't be surprised to see him sign for Quins at all.
