Transfers rumours

[ratsapprentice]

Guess he was behind Odogwu and Yawayawa it seems judging from our a league games

He's seemed to be ahead of Yawayawa for England, and Odogwu is in the u20's not u18's.

He's seemed to be ahead of Yawayawa for England, and Odogwu is in the u20's not u18's.

Well Yawayawa has started 2 A league games this season and 1 on the bench compared to Davis 0. So Tigers obvs rate him more and prob think he is more physically ready.

I mention Odogwu as i can't see us bringing up 3 wingers at the same time in the LV cup and A league.

Plus side is that Tigers academy seems back in full swing with like 10/11 Academy players representing England U20, U19 and U18.

That sounds like some incredibly optimistic thinking from Reds fans.

In the case of Matt Giteau I have some more cementing information but due to client solicitor confidentiality at the lawfirm I work at I can't give the reasons why this is the highest probability of all the transfers I listed.

Can't see Giteau leaving Toulon.
Just because he's bought property in Aus doesn't mean he's moving back there to play - could just be an investment for the future, he's certainly on decent enough wedge in France to get some property.
He also said, before, when he re-signed for them that he'll see out his career at Toulon.

I've heard Worcester Warriors are after Berrick Barnes, as well.

I can almost certainly assure you he's bought the property to live in. But again I can't go into details.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Probably retiring, then.
He did say he would at the end of this contract, and I can't see him signing for pittance in Australia when he could still demand such a high salary in France (the contract he was offered by Racing Metro was about what they pay Dan Carter, I heard).

The Reds do have cash to burn seeing as right now their star is Liam Gill and he's bailing at the end of the season.
The majority of their players are on less than $130k right now

Who's Dardis?

Who's Dardis?

Academy guy. Was hugely hyped in schools. Not very big but only 21 and quite talented.

 

[munstermuffin]

Rassie Erasmus is signing for Munster as effectively a new Head Coach and DoR.
He look's et to have already sealed defense coach Jacques Nienaber is signed up.
Foley is in a meeting tomorrow to clarify his position. However Rassie has said if Axel is staying on he will be listening to Rassie and he's the only 1 staying. The rest of backroom staff are out.
Also some Le Roux guy is being linked with us Can play 15 I hear. We have to buy out a contract though

Pretty solid signing. Rassie played a pivotal role in fixing things up at the Stormers and then took up a role at SARU, most likely hoping to get the Bok job. After what just happened, I am guessing he is just over it. Reports are saying he is over South African rugby. Neinaber is also responsible for making Stormers defense what it is today. The best defense coach in the SH.

 

[profitius]

What type of rugby do his teams play? Defensive or attacking?

Gee, its been so long since he was actually the coach that I can't exactly remember. I reviewed the seasons on wikipedia though and seems like it may be more attacking then what I remember. Quite a few games of around 30 points for us, and then one or two games a season where we struggled to score a try. The thing that makes it difficult to say is that when AC came in, the team went more defensive.

With him coming in it generally means this though, he will let whoever is coaching do their thing, and he is going to do a really good job bringing in the best support staff and players that he can. When he came in he brought in Bryan Habana and Jacques Fourie which made a huge difference to our backline, and both ended up being in the top try scorers column in 2010.

That was all over the place, but I hope you got something out of it.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Yeh I would def say he is more of a DoR rather than a HC IMO.

 

[munstermuffin]

He's DoR by ***le but will be very active on field training etc too.

Heard today that Toby Flood will be staying with Toulouse thus quashing the rumour of a move back to the Premership.
