Transfers rumours

[ratsapprentice]

So have Leicester.

Sorry don't buy the argument England have overused Cole. International rugby is the pinnacle of the sport and club needs shouldn't overrun it. An international player should always be in the best reasonable shape when playing for his country. If a player needs a rest his club should be resting him not England.

Only answer is central contracts like Cricket where players contracted rest periods are completely dictated to by country coaches (with reasonable compensation).

You say all that but in the case of Cole hes the one being singled out the most by so many people as being below-par, knackered or past it.

I personally think he should bring the beard back. 2011 World cup style.

 

[ratsapprentice]

He should definitely bring back the beard.

100%

John Hardie to either Newcastle Falcons, Bristol or Worcester.

 

[BPM]

Hardie's a good signing. Personally, I wouldn't mind him at Quins. We need another openside.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

He won't, we don't buy looseheads we just play Ross Harrison for 80mins a week every single week until one day he'll drop down dead.

Also Sale signing a prop that costs more than £50 and a pack of crisps a week LOL

Would want him at Saints if we can't get Haskell

Find me a prop that is happy with a single pack of crisps a week.

We pay our props £15 a week but also give them a Greggs expense card.

Would be great, but then what was the point in bringing in Brussouw...

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Owen Williams --------> Dragons

 

[FalconA28]

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Yep
Mean Joe Cokasigna -----> Bath (Done)
Johnny williams ----------> Bath (expected to be announced once Irish go down)
Gaston cortes ------------> Tigers
Andy Symons -------------> Saints trying to get him from under Falcons nose
Cuthbert ------------------> Exeter (Done) with Nowell going to Wing or Full back potentially. (Eddie apprently vieiwng him as a 13)
Lemi ----------------------> RC Chalon (Coached by Richard Hill)

 

[Which Tyler]

Yep
Mean Joe Cokasigna -----> Bath (Done)
Johnny williams ----------> Bath (expected to be announced once Irish go down)

These two make me very happy.
When do we start talking to TBC? We need a backup FH, though we won't be able to modern him the starting shirt just yet, our existing FHs aren't exactly setting then world on fire, so he'd have a good chance at overtaking them, let Al be out-lasting them at contract renewal (I think both are up this time next year)

You have Preistland and Burns both on massive money.

Saying that if you can't get a good 10 between those two why would TBC be the answer?

I for one defo wouldn't... That back row is bloated anyway with Clifford, robshaw, bothma, Luamanu, chisholm, Wallace and white coming through... Also I can't believe he is back in his national team set up 3 months after cocaine...
