Transfers rumours

[TRF_Olyy]

I want him back at Sale

Think the most we'd be able to offer him is a short term deal until Christmas, though, and I'd rather see him land a permanent deal somewhere

Do tigers really need a 6, though?

Kinda
Martin and Chessum now viewed as locks
Wiese and Reffell with internationals

Very attritional position

 

[Which Tyler]

Rumours of JJ to Agen - dunno how strong the rumour.

ETA: Looks like the rumour is strong
Hopefully, this move would explain why the Arundell => Racing rumour has gone quiet.

As a Bath fan, and despite loving JJ, swapping him for Arundell would be good business to me

ETA2: And now Bath's twitter are getting excited about something


Hoping this does double duty as an announcement teaser as well as just a Rocky montage

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Looks like Tom Collins is going to Ealing - they've signed one of LI's hookers as well

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Sounds like tigers got at least too announce
Wilkinson from Sale
Rogerson from Irish
Watson re-signing

Wilkinson from Sale
Rogerson from Irish

tryna be us so bad

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Sounds like Akker is moving back to South Africa and LCD is joining Sale, to be announced tomorrow

Increasingly more annoyed that we fumbled the Langdon situation so monumentally - never should have put so much faith into Ashman after he got capped by Scotland, it was an inevitability he was going to leave and his presence saw us not-re-sign Langdon and then not sign him when he moved back to England

Edit: now sounds like it's gonna be Creevy announced tomorrow (with an eye on him transitioning into a coaching role), with an LCD deal still being hashed out
Always been a fan of Creevy, even at 37/38 I'd be delighted to see him join

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Won't really help in the short term given he will also be away during internationals
But LCD and Creevy on the bench are great options to have once they come back.

Rather funny you think Sale had Dolly, Langdon and Ashman all around the same time through their academy and now all have left.

I'd rather not think about that, tbh

He's down the pecking order for Argentina now so should be ok - if he goes to the RWC he'll still be back in time for the start of the Prem and will likely be fresh
Prem Cup will be interesting though

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Sounds like Leicester have signed Mike Williams on a short term contract potentially to cover the RWC

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Biarritz to sign Joseph from Bath, Rhys Webb, Tyler Morgan, Rory Sutherland and Zach Kibirige as well as chasing rhys Patchell

 

[Saintjay]

Lee Radford confirmed as Saints new defence coach. Good league background. Could be good for Saints as D isn't a strong point putting it mildly

 

[TRF_Olyy]

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Honestly I don't think a team that attacks like Northampton can have a good defence

Not with the size of pack they have at least

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Joe Powell training with Tigers today apparently
Wilkinson, Rogerson, Williams all spotted also

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Would love to be a fly on the wall when this union virgin starts telling Lawes and Ludlam that their positioning is off and technique is all wrong.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Apparently tigers have signed a NH international loosehead

Will believe when I see it though

When it's vague always expect the worst

"We've signed the biggest international in the world" turns out to be Tony Buckley

I'm hoping for maybe someone like Morozov

 

[BPM]

Yeah Fisichetti is the best available, but Morozov would be a good low key signing.
