Transfers rumours

[stus768]

Yeah I expect Devoto will leave but I can't see Dollman going anywhere else. If he's out it'll be retirement.

I could also see Woodburn leaving. He's good enough to be a Bath starter now and he seems to be closer with his old teammates than with his current ones. That, with what would also likely be a pretty hefty contract would be a dream scenario for him.

Isn't it more likely for campagnaro to leave? Not done much with injuries etc.

Idk Devoto, like Woodburn, still seems a lot closer with his Bath teammates than his Exeter ones. Campaganrao on the other hand seems very close to the likes of Slade and Nowell. If one was going to leave my money would be on Devoto over Campagnaro. Could well be both though.

Not much to report from Glaws, but hoping to sign:

Marx
Kwagga Smith
Van Rensburg
Kriel

Would be a good bit of business!

LOL no way Marx would leave yet.

Van Rensburg and Kriel are likely. Can't see Smith going esp if Kriel goes where would he fit and why take some much of the cap in the back row when Polledri and Ludlow have proven to be excellent this season.

Have you noticed that this season's Lions SR kit is strikingly similar to our cherry and white hooped number?

Not until you just mentioned it now... I see what you mean!

Ludlow's been ace for us, but rumours are that a few clubs are after him (Pests mentioned).

Thank God that he did sign that agreement

Still won't stop clubs being interested - nature of the beast I guess.

Juan Pablo Socino to Edinburgh and George McGuigan coming back to us Falcons.

I'm surprised Socino turned down Bath for Edinburgh (if true), but McGuigan back to Falcons is a good move for both parties.

I think he's a good young hooker and he has a good chance of being first choice at Falcons.

 

[will311293]

would Ewers leave out of interest? Seems to always pick up injuries and may want a fresh start? I mean I assume that with Waldrom leaving and Salvi probably edging closer to retirement, there's more starting options for him but i'd be amazed that Chiefs won't replace.

Moreover, after yesterday i'd be really surprised if someone doesn't come for Chudley, especially as he's not starting over White and got strong competition from Maunder and Townsend (to an extent) ? Maybe a return to Newcastle or Northampton as their starting 9 ?

Plus after getting caught on BT Sport whilst having a pint at the game during an injury, I've never seen someone look so embarrassed at being caught haha. Probably as he knows M O'C is going to murder him

 

[will311293]

Tragedy if true.

Can say that again... Poor bloke, so close to that England cap and snatched away. I'd be happy if he came into our coaching set up as James Cannon has done. Breed some young coaches with Wasps at heart.

JP Soccino is a centre. His brother is the hooker who has been doing well, from what I've seen in his cameos for Newcastle.

Sam Jones is definitely retired now... Sad

I thought the same about Ewers TBH. His contract is up at the end of the season and he doesn't look anywhere near as good as he did before his injury. I wouldn't be massively surprised if his contract isn't renewed given all of the other expensive renewals they have.

The rumour is that Chudley is off to Bath.

I know the difference between the two Socinos. It's been rumoured that Santiago is off to Wasps, which may explain the McGuigan link.

I'm surprised Juan Pablo didn't take up the offer from Bath as he'd have had a good chance of getting in to the starting XV.

I agree Santiago has looked good though.

Given that JP had been mentioned in the post above and then in the first sentence of your post, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that the pronoun was referring to JP, not to his brother who hadn't been mentioned on the page!
