You said Creevy was a dead cert.

I don't trust you.

Joke

Wonder what Munster are offering Irish clubs are going after some talented attacking NZers.

 

[Groundhog]

Saili is confirmed now. Burden looks likely and I'll take MM's word on that one. Two very handy signings, but it's time to focus on a Tighthead. Ideally a top international and a decent backup.

 

[Jaguares]

Brad Thorn>>> QLD reds.

Really??

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Really??

Player coach apparently.

Makes sense Brisbane is where it all started for him pretty much.

It looks bad for Sherry that they're trying to sign another hooker. I'm expecting him to be the next retirement.

No he will be ok but next season he needs to work his way back.

Regards Creevy Tigs. He was pressured as captain of Argentina to sign for their franchise.

Well here's full update.

Saili - Signed
Burden - Negotiations are at a very strong area and well if not him I do expect an NIQ hooker.

Now here's additional information some may like
David Nucifora is doing all in his power to force Furlong to Munster and Nathan White also on our hitlist. So we will be getting a new tighthead it seems.
Robbie Henshaw representatives have had talks with IRFU and Munster top men. I will presume similar talks have been had with other provinces and it seems very realistic he leaves.
Deal to us involves Dineen, GVDH, possibly Conway and Jerry Holland along with Shane Buckley all going there. (not sure if all tied in or separate deals)
And I worked with Tyler Bleyendaal this morning. He was tackling and has a medical Friday. If he passes that you may see him play before end of season all going well.

1. Keep your dirty hands of Furlong, we'll need him during and post RWC
2. Surly Henshaw should stay in the only province with a competent coach atm.

Furlong will develop into a top quality operator. He's the heir to the 3 shirt IMO
Henshaw needs a team with players of a higher caliber around him if he wants to improve/develop bonds and regular links for international performances.

IMO put henshaw where the long term 12 or 13 option for Ireland is going to be. There's a reason BOD and D'arcy were so ****ing perfect and that's because they played hundreds of games together not just their talent as individuals.

 

[munstermuffin]

Furlong will probably stay but needs to be a starter. I agree it'll be a strange move but he does have a few Wexford mates here I've been told.

Henshaw needs to probably play top rugby in Europe and I think Connacht may have missed top chance

 

[munstermuffin]

Seems Leinster will finally confirm Mick Kearney and Isa Nacewa tomorrow.

Aye what wexicans have you guys got on the books?

No not rugby players. Few that work in Shannon Aerospace and that I've heard. Some childhood mates. But Robin Copeland a Wexford lad too and I know the O'Mahony brothers spent a lot of childhood summers in Wexford.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

MM any truth in the rumours he is on 1 Million Euros over 2 years (500,000 Euros a season)

 

[Shaggy]

Possibly Colin Slade to Pau http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/...-report?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

A move for Slade is on the cards, as he hasn't been in a hurry to re-sign with the NZRU ... I'm pretty sure he'll go if he doesn't make the AB squad for the RWC this year

Wouldn't know exact figures but it's only around â'¬300k per year. Definitely nowhere near â'¬1m.

Prob an Ulster fan trying to make it seem like they didn't overspend.

But Ulster is already inundated with centres!

Well... we could give Connacht Payne in exchange for Henshaw. That's completely fair, right?


Personally, if I was the Leinster management, and someone was trying to tempt Furlong away, I would have men position ready with orders to shoot on sight should the fellow be seen. Fob them off with Mike Ross.
