Transfers rumours

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

McIntyre is a very competent loosehead, never worried when he replaces Mullan, and wouldn't panic if he started against a lot of opposition. Big ball carrier too.

Tommy Taylor would be a fantastic signing for Wasps, does begin to make it look like Sale is to Wasps what Irish is to Bath. I'd like to put in an order for Jennings if I can, may struggle for game time even more given the emergence of James, and I think he has a fantastic attitude, could help Wasps in the 12 shirt.

As Raggs says, Mcintyre pings around a lot and is helped in this by having some real wheels. Good carrier.
He's a decent scrummager but I often feel it could go either way with him. Whereas from Mullan I expect the advantage to be with him 70% of the time

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Has anyone else heard about Devoto and Wasps?

 

[Which Tyler]

I'm doing my best to pretend that I haven't. I also haven't seen anything that would back it up, and think that Bath are capable of keeping him happy; but can see how a pay rise and a good chance of becoming 1st choice in 1 position is a very attractive proposition. TBH, I'd be much less worried if it were any club other than Wasps.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Would be pretty funny to see Bath lose one of only two academy graduates from their 23 :lol:

Madigan --> Bristol for 500k a year.

If this happens, I don't understand the world any more.

Madigan being Ireland's highest earner or joining a potential Championship club?

 

[Irish boy]

Trinh-Duc to the prem he's confirmed he's leaving montpellier

Errr.. Bristol are already in the Championship - that's what people don't understand about it

 

[Peat]

Errr.. Bristol are already in the Championship - that's what people don't understand about it

They are only potentially in it next year though - both pedantic fact and a reflection of probability. Even they can't bottle it again... surely...

 

[Which Tyler]

At this stage I consider Bristol to be in the championship until proven otherwise.
This is the big chance for the likes of Leeds, Doncaster, Rotherham etc

Madigan being Ireland's highest earner or joining a potential Championship club?

Madigan being one of the highest paid players in the world.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wonder if it's Quins (Evans replacement) or Saracens (Hodgson).

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Madigan being one of the highest paid players in the world.

This. It makes no sense.

devoto to Wasps I could live with, though

Poor Brendan Mackey..

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Pretty sure Trinh-Duc is staying in France.

Toulon being touted.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Madigan being one of the highest paid players in the world.

I can only imagine that number is BS. Madigan pretty much ruled out the possibility of risking playing in the championship too, he had high praise for Quins and all but confirmed he was leaving Leinster. I'm going to miss him, he's one of my favourite players.

 

[yaboyjj]

I just hope players like Devoto and Lozowski get starting spots at a club before we start bringing in potentially lesser players from abroad.

 

[gaston le gaff]

Pretty sure Trinh-Duc is staying in France.

Toulon being touted.

At the moment it's prob between Toulouse and Toulon

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

You upset about it Gaston?

How do you feel about White ATM.

Should be noted that the 500k figure is in Euro so about 350k Sterling, about the same Gopperth's on at Wasps I think. Still a lot of money for a back up player.
