Transfers rumours

[Leonormous Boozer]

Muff, saw on your the other thread that Henshaw is likely staying at Connacht? If that's true I'd be incredibly ****** off at letting Te'o go, especially a year out from becoming IQ. Looks like Leinster are going into next season with three adequate centres and one out half along with a few guys who might get good enough. Leinster need to get some business going.

Saw somewhere that Rory Scholes is being looked at by Tigers and Sarries.

Going somewhere. Can't blame him but still a little bit gutted as he's been Ulster's form winger this season.

Saracens seems more likely to me given his respective chances of cracking the two back lines (that and I've only seen Sarries mentioned on Ulster message boards).

Seeing some mentions of Cathal Marsh to Ulster to backup Paddy Jackson.

Yea rumour is he's signed a new 1 year deal and it'll be next year when he gets a central contract. Te'o supposedly went to England as he is already qualified for them.

That'd be madness in that surely he'd benefit from Madigans departure.

Presumably Leinster mean to go straight to Ross Byrne as back-up when that happens. 3rd place in Leinster vs possible 2nd place in Ulster - not a hard call for him.

True but I didn't think he'd go to 3rd choice at Leinster. He's been ok this season.

How's Dardis going for Leinster. Have heard murmurs he may move.

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

A move would do Billy Dardis good. He's talented but a long way down the depth chart.

Ross Byrne has a similar style to Jonny Sexton. It makes sense to bump him up. I do like Marsh though.

Is Dardis still at full back Snoop? I was huge fan of him in schools game. He reminds me of a Kurtley Beale at times.

I thought Marsh was progressing well myself and the experience of this season would really benefit Leinster.

According to Rugbyrama, Jean-Marc Doussain the Toulouse & France scrum-half / fly half has been linked with Leicester and Lyon.
Seems strange - Leicester seem to have enough 9s and 10s already?

Why would he want to leave ST (especially for Lyon) especially as his stay there has seen the club on a downward spiral that is now being stopped?

Now that is the question! I read the rumour on the Rugbyrama website earlier today.
Lyon will surely be promoted to the Top14 and will be spending loads on new players and presumably Doussain would be well paid - any better than at ST, who knows?
ST could win the Brennus and will play in the European Champions Cup and Lyon would be in the Challenge Cup.
Doussain should think carefully before making any rash decisions!

[JJFlash]

Ahh yes! Filthy lucre - why didn't I think of that!!

 

[gaston le gaff]

if i was to put my 2 penneth in, i would think more than other, Game Time, his main reason for leaving unless Toulouse are just willing to let him go??? plus of course Lyon will more than likely be Pro 2D champions and there is no shortage of money at Lyon and probably an increase in budget once they return o the TOP 14.

JMD has been linked with Tigers since Novemberish.

Do Tigers need a fly half with Burns and Williams? A scrum half with Youngs and Harrison?
Maybe one or two of these are off?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Burns and Williams seem to take it in turns being injured, with Bell off at the end of the season another 10 could make sense.
9 is well stocked though, even with Youngs missing at international time

All I contract next season.

It's prob agent talk.

We have next season
Youngs, Harrison, Kitto
Williams, Burns, Toomua
