Transfers rumours

Anthony Watson confirmed to be leaving Bath at the end of the season according to the Telegraph, mentions Sarries as potential suitors and Top 14 teams.
 
Being honest isn't that big a loss for Bath.

Sarries would make no sense, should go to Sale IMO
Agreed. As much as I rate him, he hasn't played more than 10 Premiership games for Bath since the 2015/16 season and has only scored 1 or 2 tries in a lot of those seasons. Ultimately, whether it's injury or international duty, he's just not a good return on investment at club level.

I genuinely think he's a top, top player, but if he were offered to Quins, I wouldn't want him. I'd rather sign two good players we'd keep in the test windows.

I can't see how Saracens can sign him after extending both the Vunipolas, Lozowski and Lewington? If they do, surely they're fiddling the books again …

That's only because they played him at 15, if he was playing wing (his natural position) he'd have scored at least 50 trys.

In all seriousness, really think sarries need another investigation unless they start to lose players as they still have too much in their squad compared to others.
 
Nadolo is 34 this year wonder how many more years he has in the tank granted playing his best rugby in a while.

11. Potter
14. Watson
15. Steward
Would be a interesting back 3

Wonder what his image rights are like mmmm
 
Wasps apparently front runners to sign Watson atm,

Why they'd want to sign someone so injury prone, considering their record, is anyone's guess!
He'd fit in very nicely on our injury list tbf.

Suppose the facilities are top notch and he likes the look of the Jack Willis Sauna (yes this is a thing).

Oghre/Marcus and Stooke are all there currently so suppose he's getting good feedback. May be coming in to replace Minozzi potentially and with Odogwu transitioning to Centre to replace Fekitoa.
 
Be awkward if Wasps release Marcus and sign Anthony
Would be slightly funny though haha.

Depends on what we need... Minozzi is more likely to be heading out i reckon.

Wheres the source out of interest?
 
Just on twitter,
and I think Lovell Rugby are saying it? Not sure how in the know they are, though

They're referencing other media outlets tho?

Can't remember specifics but I've seen them post random crap like that in the past - would take it with a major grain of salt if it's just them
 
For me personally I take rumours outside the mainstream jounros with a big pinch of salt at least the likes of Jones (Mail), Lowe (Times), Schofield (Telegraph) etc will tend to get two sources to confirm something.

SA and Argentine media have pretty good track record with their players (well ones who are based i. Their countries)
