Transfers rumours

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

When is Sam James out of contract.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Next year, I think.
This is his first season out of the academy, and usual contract length is 2.

 

[Irish boy]

Know how you feel we've got are next batch of acdemy youngsters coming through only now since the mass exodus to Bath anyway those Sale lads are decent id definatly take one

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Delon Armitage being linked to Bath.

I'm Bath LI.

 

[Jakedood]

Kieran Treadwell confirmed to Ulster. What's he like?

Big. He's a slab of a boy. Decent turn of pace. Should have good hands as he's from Quins. Didn't look out of place for England U20 and was reckoned a decent prospect for Quins (who produce decent young locks at one hell of a pace at the moment).

I'm pleased as punch tbh.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

TRP has
Craig Willis (to Tigers)
Flood (to Sale and Bristol)
Pearce (to Sale)
Andy Symons (to London Irish)

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I'd bloody love Flood (especially if we managed to keep Cipriani).
Have heard that Worcester are in the race for him as well.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

He still in contract at Toulouse but looks like he will be released most likely.

According to TRP

He also says Cips is off.

 

[Irish boy]

Sorry who Is Andy Symons

Wuss Centre brother to Matt.

Aye, seems almost inevitable.
However Egg Chasers Podcast (who are far more accurate in their rumours than Fissler) are saying it's not as nailed on/a done deal as many are making it out to be.

I still think he'll go, but I've got my fingers and toes crossed.

Keith Earls ---> Sarries

Not going to make Safacens any more popular in Ireland.

Being honest no one here will blame him if he goes. Keith is a good friend and well if he goes it will be nothing to do with money. It's a fabulous offer on the table. He also has 1 on table from France. But I must stress it isn't as much done as people reporting. Keith has let his agent explore the avenues.

:huh:

Nothing with money. Length and other issues are the bigger problem. And Nucifora could be off to awful run across all provinces by end of season it's been said

If I was him, I'd go. Munster are a disaster, whats the point being a top winger if you never see the ball except when its shovelled along?


Although, if they actually were for getting Conor O'Shea in, you'd imagine word would come down from the top and Keith Earls would wait and see...

[Which may lend further credence to O'Shea's real destination being Italy]

Could you have another go at that please? Don't quite understand.

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

Saracens are much closer to contending for silverware every year than Munster appear to be right now. Perhaps he's moving for that reason.

At top this has nothing to do with Munster. We aren't allowed be involved as its a central contract. Earls wants to stay but wants 3 years. IRFU want to be 2 year max central contracts due to uncertainty of Pro12 and their finances as a union.

I say Nucifora could be off to bad start as he's failed with Moore and Madigan. Having tough time with Earls and Zebo. Screwing up Henshaw deal too if rumours are believed and still has more guys to go through.

Also Earls has been on the ball more than many this year. And again it has 0 to do with Munster. And again it's like a 5% chance O'Shea was ever coming.

No. It's to do with length and over areas of image rights etc. It's his last big contract so who can blame him.
