Transfers rumours

[TheSaffycen]

Rene Ranger has been granted early release and will join Blues later this year. Could make the RWC squad if he plays like he did before leaving.

Can so see it happening

Can so see it happening

Great because defensively he is sh- it-e!

 

[TheSaffycen]

He wasn't for the Blues though. Before he left I genuinely thought he was the best outside back in the world form wise. He had everything, great running threat, monster defence and was incredible over the ball. If he gets back to that form he will get the All Blacks squad possibly the 23 shirt.

My agent and I have been informed by various fans who attended the 'Fans Forum' on Wednesday 4 March that it was confirmed at the 'Fans Forum' by Richard Cockerill that a 'best and final' offer from Leicester Tigers is presently on the table to me. One fan quoted Richard Cockerill as saying ''we hope he will sign it and stay but as things stand he's leaving''.

It seems both my agent and I were mistakenly under the impression that the offer of employment from Leicester Tigers had been withdrawn.

I hereby accept the offer of employment that is on the table and I look forward to furthering my career at the Leicester Tigers. #tigersfamily @leicestertigers

Interdasting.

Peter Betham --> Leicester

What is he like?

The Salvi thing is leaving a bad taste in my mouth ATM.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Journeyman SR from what I've seen of him - so decent enough.
Hard to tell with those sorts of players though, they seem to go quite variably up here.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

He certainly has some size about him will prob be a Thompstone or Scully replacement

 

[ratsapprentice]

His apparent size is quite surprising to me - I wouldn't be expecting a power player by any means... not even in the same way Thompstone or Benjamin are.

 

[welshglory]

Salvi doesn't have to take cockerills ****e. He's one of the best 7's in European rugby and should be given the utmost respect.

 

[Irishkid]

Patrick Osbourne --> Irish.

Please God let this be true.

 

[TheSaffycen]

Saracens to announce a new signing at 12 tomorrow

 

[ratsapprentice]

Roberts?

 

[TheSaffycen]

They have a blackout line of the guy. He doesn't look like Roberts at all, looks slight so is probably a fly half.

****.... read your first comment quickly as "signing a 12 tomorrow".

Michael Rhodes according to the Sarries forum.

 

[TheSaffycen]

Ha, nah we aren't that smart probably. We need a guy who can cover 10 and 12 really well, like Frans Steyn.

The photo matches the silhouette perfectly... and y'know... it was taken at Allianz.

Pretty sure it's him.

 

[TheSaffycen]

Yep just went on the Saracens forum and this was up there. Well I guess he is an alright signing, 6 ft 6 and 115kg so he is a big unit. Kind of like the one we made in Itoje.......

 

[saryboy86]

But more importantly is he any good?

 

[Irishkid]

Yes if you keep him happy.
