Transfers Rumours

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Haffar, Seabrook and Logan all confirmed as leaving Saints

Logan to sale, heard you've signed Haffar and Seabrook. Sorry to lose Haffar although he's great in the loose but not what saints need as a second choice 1.

Seabrook is our 5th choice wing, can be great but can also be poor. Maybe that's due to lack game time though.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Mate of mine was playing with him at Hinckley and said he wasn't a standout player unfortunately. Had big hopes but he's not what saints need right now. I'm sure he'll have a big future if he lives up to potential.

20s stats are pretty decent. Doesn't always translate tbf

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I'm happy with both Haffar and Seabrook
We need more props who can carry and bring I pact off the bench

Smith, Haffar, Cronin

Seabrook decent replacement for Bassett I feel

He's playing with men in the real world though but he's still young so will get bigger (he needs to).

Was not meant to be negative on him, just the reports we get back meant he wasn't ready for a bench spot even when the saints were missing some back rowers. He'll probably be ready in a year or so but saints need a big 8 right now so I can see him wanting to move for game time.

I rate Hafarr, he's going to be a good pickup for Tigers
Be interesting to know Saints tried to keep him - I read on Twitter they didn't offer Logan a deal, not sure if that's true or just some salty Saints fan trying to make out he's not good enough

Could just be the move didn't work out for either of them - neither started out at Saints, and both signed for them after their childhood club went under

I heard we offered Haffar a normal wage for a second choice LH, apparently tigers offered him an internationals wage. Had some great cameos though but we need an old grizzled LH to cover 17, he was wasted with us on the bench so I get him moving but he needs to be starting for tigers.

I also heard from a couple of different sources that we didn't offer Logan a contract. Also heard that he never saw saints as a home and was always looking elsewhere. Either way I'm not bothered he's gone.

Rieko Ioane just announced as joining Leinster next year by him and the Auckland Blues

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

**** signing

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Had to check the date, then

 

[big ginger 8]

Bizarre. Will he play wing more now?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Such a monkey's paw signing. We need an international class winger so we get one who hasn't played there in years, is hated by the entire fanbase and will likely phone it in and joke about milking the club after.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Honestly since Munster got Kelly it makes sense

Someone needs to hide Sexton as it could get messy

Shows that Leinster really agreed with Reiko and Sexton must be getting seizures. Only last week Ioane was cutting down Irish Rugby. This is all the signs of a lad coming for a pure payday. Barrett to be fair has bought in and been a star on and off the field for Leinster. This could be the other side of the coin.

He said he is a 13 and is coming to play there. Ringrose to the wing maybe ????? Hensaw to the 23 permanently??? Osborne to the Frawley role???

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Froma non Leinster supporting POV this is great I was worried they might get Dmac or Willemse

Ioane is world class, but Leinster don't need outside backs like that

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

He's not a better 13 than Ringrose and is definitely a better wing. Can't see him playing bug games at 13. Can absolutely see him being **** for us and not caring. Head in the clouds signing.

 

[mikebrownsauce1512]

cant wait to see this **** unfold

Leinster have announced him as a utility back.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Leinster have announced him as a utility back.

That's a very generous way to describe someone who plays 2 positions.

 

[munstermuffin]

Leinster have announced him as a utility back.

Oh I do presume he will be used on wing. Might be he wants to be a 13 which could lead to issues too but he isn't a winger. It is a strange signing.
From what I have seen of him and read about him I think @Leonormous Boozer is right and this is a payday 6 month holiday.
History and record would say this could be a messy 6 months.
