Transfers rumours

[munstermuffin]

Stuart Lancaster to extend stay with Leinster.
Great for them and Ireland if true. Has been great asset I think and I really rate him as a coach

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Thank fuk was worried he might actually be a target for Tigers

Seems he's signing until 2019.

are you not interested in culture?

The only culture you'll find in Leicester is the type you grow in a petri dish

Coming from a sale fan? Living near Lichfield of all places. Wouldn't know culture if it sign for you before moving to wasps

We invented the dictionary and have an excellent cathedral, you wash your gosh darn mouth out.

Why did you take away his capital letters? Smallest slight ever!

Delighted if the Lancaster rumours are true, he's really improved everything in the club and has helped Cullen hugely in removing Matt O'Connor's stench...

You got today's TRP, Tigs?

If so... you know what to do.

Yep
Nott --> Falcons
Matavesi -> Falcons
Lancaster -> Leinster
Cockerill --> Edinburgh
Kalamafoni-> Leicester
Ian Vass (Saracens academy) -> Monte
Luatua on 650k at Bristol.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

650k to play semi pro sides, not a bad gig if you can get it!

Apparently the Nott thing is more that he's out of contract and Newcastle are potentially interested. Get the impression that he's getting more game time the last few weeks to see whether he's ready for a senior contract, and I'd be surprised if we didn't offer him one now.

Cockers to Edinburgh seems like a smart move. Can see that going well.

I'm sure a few clubs would be interested if Nott is available. Whether he stays or goes, I'd like to see him at 6. I just think he's too small to play lock and it's a bit of a waste of his pace.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Nott is pretty similar to Croft in terms of style of play 6 is def his position long term IMO.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aye,
To play 2nd row he'd need to bulk up a lot but I think it'd take away from his talents.
Like when England made Mat Tait put on several stone and he lost his speed and agility for a few years and was pretty meh.

 

[munstermuffin]

Rumours Ian Madigan has offers on table from English clubs. He wants out of Bordeaux due to not being their preferred 10 and they seem open to letting him leave

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Saints
Sale
Quins
Prob likely destinations

Maybe Worcs or Bristol.

 

[munstermuffin]

Biggest issue is he's a very good rugby player but will never be the 10 he thinks he is. Would suit a running rugby team. Always thought he'd be a great Super Rugby player

 

[Groundhog]

Yeah I could see it being one of those above teams. Don't think the guy has that much ambition. Actually Bristol I could definitely believe. He'd probably be on even more than at Bordeaux.
