Transfers Rumours

[Draggs]

Luke Charteris to various clubs, the most recent being USAP.
Out of contract this summer.
As he has been with us since our inception and he is the captain, I hope that he will stay with us.

 

[DuncTheDoodle]

Luke Charteris has, in past, said that he plans to play for the Dragons for his entire career, as they gave him a chance when others (Including Bath and the Blues) turned him down.

Yeah, I'm fairly confident he is staying. He has been with us through some pretty poor times, so why would he leave when we have such a great future now?
We do need to develop some young second rows. Royce Cadman is our only 'young' lock and he has only appeared for us once.
None of the Welsh clubs really have any coming through, save perhaps Macauley Cook.

Apparently Bismarck Du Plessis is heading to the NH

Not for another two years at least.

Didn't think they liked hardworking SA hookers anyway.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I don't think so - We're more than set for backrowers. Think it's a case of: We've been signing a lot of people, and a fair few from Scotland. He's out of contract. 2+2=5.



However I have heard that Eifion Lewis-Roberts may be coming back to Sale next season

Who's only played twice for the Blues.I'm really disappointed he hasn't seen more gametime. Cook's an AWJ-like players. Works hard, hits hard, leads from the front. Poential Wales captain if he can be given the opportunity.

He's only 20 and he's already captain of Cardiff RFC! He'll surely get many chances in the near future, and I look forward to it, he looks awesome!

So Rory Lamont has left his club in France, and has said on his twitter he promises he won't go to another French team.

He is moving in search of game-time, do Bath, Sale or Gloucester need a 15/ wing?

 

[Teh Mite]

Gloucester don't, Steve Diamond doesn't like backs and Bath... Well, maybe. Biggs is a bag of ****.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Lamont was the biggest waste of money Sale ever had - only played about 30 seconds of rugby in all his time here

I reckon he'll go to Glasgow

 

[DuncTheDoodle]

Would be a good signing for Glasgow, or Edinburgh for that matter, although they're not in desperate need of any back-three players.. Is this from the end of the season or with immediate impact? Because I wouldn't mind having a genuine fullback at the Ospreys...

 

[welshglory]

Ospreys could use him!

 

[Teh Mite]

London Irish. They're already full of gobby morons who make careers from getting on the wrong side of the ref.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I reckon he'll retire and try and get involved in the Samoan Rugby union/grassroots game/something along those lines

He's already said this will be his last winter in the UK, so if he does continue to play it'll be elsewhere

Warriors are in the process of getting a new back row player who is aparently a big physical man due to injuries for kai and best

 

[Peat]

Whispers indicate that Bowe is looking at coming back to Ireland - but would prefer Leinster over the other provinces.

Yeah, I've heard that. He'd need to get out of his contract, which runs until the end of the 2012/13 season, I believe.
Would no doubt be a loss for the Ospreys, but when you look at young players like Walker, Prydie and possibly Luke Morgan, there are some potentially great replacements.

Ospreys would be better off playing him at 13 right now over Bishop. Could work out well for Ireland, with O'Driscoll out for a bit as well. He has been tried at 13 occasionally, but never long enough to adjust.
