Transfers rumours

Aseali Tikorituma is set to be announced as Irish latest signing tomorrow.
 
I've said it before, but it bears repeating... Roberts to Quins is as perfect a signing as they could make.
 
Yeah we were linked with him alright. I'd love to see Furlong come, but it would be a screw over to Leinster if it were Nucifora backed. You're right he'll get decent game time next year. I'd love to see us bag one of Ulster's centres maybe. Something in the water up there.

I swear I think I seen Nucifora last weekend in Eddie Rocket's talking to this man...

According to the coaches at the Sale fans night thing last night we're signing an ex All Black lock/backrow (I'm imaging an ageing one cap wonder, no idea who) and also an "experienced international 9" on a 1 yr deal: Stringer?

In fairness ye could do a lot worst than sign Stringer. Still has that majestic pass.
 
Apparently Alberto Di Marchi has signed a pre-agreement with Treviso to return next season.
 
I reckon it would be fun to start a random transfer rumour like Victor Vito to Ulster, post it on a few comment sections and fan sites and see how long it would take to be quoted as "a source close to Ulster rugby" in the Independant.
I got L'equippe with one saying Sean Cox to the Leicster Tigers back a few years ago
 
I know the Faletau to Bath rumour's been around for a while, but he's now passed the deadline to sign a dual contract which would seem to suggest he's moving abroad at the end of his current contract - and all the papers seem to be referring to him as "Bath target Taulupe Faletau". Personally I think we'd be better off looking for a world class second row, woudn't sniff at him though
 
Sounds like Leicester cannot afford to pay a marquee type player now with the stadium development going which is costing £8 million.

Sounds like Leicester might have to start looking for a owner.

Bath don't really need an 8, or is Houston leaving? Anyway, I thought Ford wanted to try Burgess there?

Houston's not leaving as far as I know, although we have been "linked" with Vermeulen and Morgan at different times - either Mike Ford or The Meeja seem to think Bath are looking for a marquee at 8. Burgess has been talked about there (I personally thought that would be his best position early in his development), but I think (early days though it is) his performances at 6 seem to strongly suggest that's his long-term position.
