French newspapers reporting Charlie Faumuina - Toulouse is a done deal .....

 

[JJFlash]

If true, then good news, cos the Toulouse front row of recent years hasn't been as strong as it should have been.
However, there are some excellent younger front row forwards coming through who will undoubtedly benefit from Faumuina's presence.

Joe Schmidt to Crusaders is resurfacing again.

Source is Midi Olympique - so take with a Fissler sized grain of salt; but Maxime Mermoz to Bath

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Didn't Mermoz reject Bordeaux to stay at Toulon?

Mind MO make fissler look like a soothsayer. They where the ones who said Toomua had signed for Wasps a day before Tigers announced him

 

[FrenchFan]

Some good signings for Toulouse recently, Charles Faumuina, Richie Gray, Sofiane Guitoune more to come...

 

[acnewcastle]

George Smith has signed a two year deal with Queensland Reds

 

[JJFlash]

Didn't Mermoz reject Bordeaux to stay at Toulon?

Apparently so.

Although Faumuina isn't due until June 2017.

Eastmond to Sale, and rumours they're announcing a new owner today.

Devoto and Eastmond leaving Bath... Does that mean Priestland at 12? Or Banahan there with Watson wing and Homer FB?

Seems a bit odd Eastmond would go to Sale with Leota and Tuitupou there as 12s and Haley at FB. Can't see him getting a lot of game time. Would've thought he'd do quite well at Wasps, in between Cips and Daly. That would be just about the most electric mid field the Prem's ever seen.

There's rumours that Sammy T is out until the new year with an injury, and also he's likely to retire at the end of the year as well.

Maybe he should rotate around premiership clubs, seeing how many 10s and 13s he could get selected for England.

Eastmond to Leicester bring back the
9) Youngs
10) Burns
12) Eastmond
13) Manu

dream team.

I still don't think that Bath will be releasing any more players without having a replacement already lined up.
If Mermoz comes, then Kyle leaving becomes possible.
I don't see how Ford or Priestland could be released early - far better to have an unhappy player than no player - especially if that unhappy player feels they have a point to prove (such as someone else to offer them a contract, or an international coach to offer them caps.

It's not ideal, and I'd generally rather not keep players who don't want to be there; but you still need a 10 and a 12 on the pitch.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Depends what clauses etc Agents have put in contracts.

Wait, what's this? Does Ford want to leave Bath?

it's all speculation at this point people putting 2+2 together in the hope it makes 5.

I mean it could be true but nothing concrete.

People want him to because his dad was fired. Pure speculation, stoked a little by dad trying to talk to him through the press because GF isn't taking his calls.
