Transfers Rumours

[munstermuffin]

Milne, Grobbelaar, Dillane and Burns all apparently as good as done for Munster. Deegan also maybe coming?

Grobbelaar isn't done yet as of this morning

Milne at closing stages and Dillane at a good spot too.

You've got enough centres

Stu McCloskey and Frank Saili being rumored to Bayonne

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

If I was a pro coming to the end of my career and not fully in the international picture, I’d want to play for Bayonne. Looks incredible scenes.

And Ulster are low on funds.

I’d take McCloskey to replace Esterhuizen if he’s giving up on Ireland.

To be fair I think it a case if he unfortunate. An excellent player but has 3 World Class centres ahead of him and we'll his province is in a poor way. It a case of does he try make a good earning for his later years.
Has been brilliant when he has played but it is hard break ahead of 3 in front

Has a soon to be world class centre coming around the corner too.

Would be sad to see him go, his improvement at international level since Faz came in has been great to watch but maybe one of those calls where the IRFU’s hands are genuinely tied.

100%. He’s also 31 so a bit of a stretch to think he’d make it to 2027.

Well that is it. There is competition galore and well if you are World Class or top tier you do want to maximize earnings.
I would guess going to France would double his wage at a minimum.

It is crazy like noone ever tried him in emergency on wing like happened last Saturday. McCloskey, Aki and Henshaw in same back line last Saturday was 3 big hitters in a backline.

But the sounds from Belfast and colleagues I know within Ulster is not good. I think Richie Murphy will be put in place and it will be a case of rebuild from the floor up.

Don't be surprised to see likes of Henderson depart and other big names. I'd also expect to see a few Leinster guys go up and basically start again with mentality of a few years pain to develop a new culture etc.

Aki, Henshaw and McCloskey would also have the pace of a lorry doing a three point turn on a one way street.

In fairness that is pretty unfair to the lorry.

But yeah going forward they a big unit. But seemingly Ulster are encouraging him to leave as well as others. Steven Kitschoff should take a year break now and dial it in up in Belfast as he won't be getting any trophies.

 

[Arcturus]

Well poo

 

[IT157]

Well poo

Some context....

Or just needed to let people know about your bowel movements?

 

[Reiser99]

Think Farrell has made it official he's leaving.

Yeah, I saw that on BBC

Time feels right to leave Saracens - Farrell

Saracens captain Owen Farrell says the time feels right to move to Racing 92 but hopes to finish this season on a high.

But no big surprise.
