Transfers Rumours

[Reiser99]

Especially as Wasps have already missed deadlines before and from the sounds of it, messed the bondholders around and not kept them properly informed. You imagine they would need to be pretty convincing for people not to want their money back.

True, i think this is where discussions with HBSC are taking place... to try to pay off that then pay off the loan taken from the bank.

Yeh but if the bond holders want there money back now it might not be that simple

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Watson (Tigers) —-> Sarries
Radwan (Falcons) —-> Tigers

Rumored to be done for end of this season

Watson (Tigers) —-> Sarries

Reckon Goode is retiring?
Or maybe just moving out of contention for 15 as he gets older/slower

I'm surprised Watson is staying in country post world cup tbh (if this materialises, obv)

Is Watson’s contract with Tigers just a 1 year deal?

 

[Which Tyler]

Is Watson’s contract with Tigers just a 1 year deal?

Yup, and was always rumoured to be looking at being an interim club before moving back to London.

 

[Becca]

Wade has signed with Racing 92.

 

[Which Tyler]

Rampant speculation (AKA Fissler reports) that Bath are after the DuPreez twins from Sale.

Surely France is far more likely

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

My understanding is they want to be a package deal as in all 3 brothers together.

So it would have to be Rob as well


Alex Goode linked to Japan which feeds into what I heard about Watson and Radwan

 

[Which Tyler]

Given that we only have 1 specialist FH, I'd be happy enough to have Rob as well.
Though I'd be worried about the Saffication of the club (depending on who left to make room)

But it's still Fissler, so it still needs independent verification before being bumped up from "speculation" to "rumour"

For now, if there's anything in it, the most likely is agent-talk to boost Sale's offer

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Though I'd be worried about the Saffication of the club

Everyone goes through it eventually
Sarries, Gloucester, Tigers, Us - you're next!

I can't see it though, especially as a full package deal - the twins will be on big money as they're crazy good and won't be missing for internationals

 

[BPM]

It seems to fly under the radar a bit, but we have it at Quins too.

Esterhuizen, Green, Lewies, Louw and Herbst could all be considered starters, then we have Kerrod and Els too who will be regulars in the 23.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wade has signed with Racing 92.

Apparently considering signing him for XVs now (they initially signed him just for a 7s tournament), though the Wuss situation throwing a spanner in the works as Racing are now front runners to sign Duhan van der Merwe if the exodus start

Won't he be moving back home to Scotland? <blink>

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Fin Smith to Saints is basically done already apparently.

Been in the works for a while, but now expidited

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bit morbid to be discussing, really, but have seen this list of players floating around, who will be leaving (if pay doesn't materialise in 14 days):

T Hill,
Hatherell (unnamed French Club),
DVDM (Racing Metro),
F Smith (Northampton Saints),
Batley,
Kvesic

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

would have been certain wade went to toulon. Seems like his type of club

It's not like Racing have a problem with egos either

Wasps have re-signed Hougaard and Blackett announced recruitment freeze ended in press conference
Interesting read, about the challenges etc
wasps women also signed Spanish international Cris Blanco, Welsh dual code Eloise Hayward, a USA international Tess Feury and French International Lenaïg Corson.


Seems we are elevated slightly, we must have re-financed. I wonder if we would look at Wuss players as 100% under the cap

Wasps' recruitment freeze lifted as Blackett hints at recent breakthrough

Gallagher Premiership side Wasps lost the likes of Malakai Fekitoa and Jimmy Gopperth this summer

[TRF_Olyy]

Monty Ioane has left Benetton by mutual consent,
Apparently moving to Melbourne Rebels
Be interesting to see if he still makes himself available for Italy, that's a hell of a commute
