Transfers Rumours

[Teh Mite]

The Myler to Wasps rumour has been going around for a while (thanks most to The Sun) since Cipriani signed for Melbourne. It's ******** as he only signed a new contract 4 weeks ago.

And to annoy Eddie Griffiths, that's a contract, not a Heads of Agreement!!!

Noah Cato on his way to Bath perhaps, with Stephen Jones to Leicester, replacing Flood, who is off to Wasps or Bath. Myler could be on his way to Wycombe too.

I can see Cato moving, with Sarries signing Strettle and all, but Flood moving away from Leicester after they've been doing so well in the GP? I can't think that Tigers would want him to go, so...

don't see why any of those moves would happen. Cato, Myler and Flood are all starting regularly for clubs at the top of the league who are wealthy enough to pay them well - why would they move to worse performing and poorer clubs?

Stephen Jones apparently offered a contract worth £350,000 to move to the Tigers!!!

Where the bloody hell are they getting the money for that if they can't afford Tuqiri?

 

[Cymro]

Dunno but its a strong rumour at the moment round the Llanelli area, and it does not matter what he has said in the past money does talk.

 

[Teh Mite]

Creative accounting from Leicester Tigers perhaps?

Nah, would never dream of the idea... *cough*

Nooooooo! Williams won't be anything like Filo. They call him The Legend for a reason, you know. Filo Tiatia is the greatest player to ever come from somewhere that isn't Wales or wherever in Ireland Tommy Bowe was born. He's kept going until he's 39, surely he can go a few more seasons?

And I see no reason why Tom Smith can't go on to develop into something decent, or this Newport youngster they've also just signed?

EDIT: Erm, this is in reply to the posts on the previous page about Nick Williams. I doubt Stephen Jones will go to Leicster, as he's repeatedly saying he plays to stay at the Scarlets for the rest of his career.

Same thing happened before he moved to Clermont Auvergne

I imagine Moody, Mauger, Vesty, Johne Murphy and Tuqiri leaving would free up a lot of money.

Heard yesterday that Stephen Jones is DEFINATELY en route to Leicester, for Europe next year. He asked for Peel to be brought to Llanelli but that couldn't be done. Will be confirmed on Thursday. That's what I heard anyway.

Let's get Toby Flood signed, sealed and delivered to Bath then!

Clinton Schifcofske possibly leaving Ulster to return to rugby league with the Crusaders.

Horacio Agulla to Leicester Tigers from Brive.

Ye apparently Scarlets may lose one or two more. Lyons is a possible move to France as is Shane Williams to Toloun!

 

[DuncTheDoodle]

Could he please go to any club but Leicester? I hate the Tigers with all of my heart for a variety of reasons, despite having been born just outside of Leicester myself. Stephen, you will lose my support the moment you go, and we all know that's all a player strives for.

James, Barkley, (Davis?), Vesty AND Flood? Do Bath really need 5 Fly-halves?

 

[Teh Mite]

What is this revelation? DunctheDoodle is English? And a Leicesterfarian no less?

My whole sense of perspective has been put into question!

 

[mohamed_ali12]

James - i'm presuming the worst, and that's that he's of too the Bulls in the summer. It's been too long without news for my liking.
Barkley - has said publicly that he wants to play centre and not at stand-off.
Davis - contract up in the summer.

Obviously if James stays we won't need him.

 

[Teh Mite]

So if Barkley plays 12, what happens to the supposed saviour [sic] of English rugby, Shontayne "oh what an English sounding name" Hape?
