Transfers Rumours

Tom Voyce ---> London Welsh

Beeb mentioned and likely done deal

Beeb mentioned and likely done deal

Did the bbc mention it first though? I've broken rumours in L'equipe and the Times, I reckon I had it first.

Two words. Mike Brewer

And also Bourgoin? Of all the French clubs to join... Bourgoin?

Short memory...he was captain (after Gaskell got injured) and first choice hooker with Brewer in charge. It's with Dimes/Hanks that he dropped down the pecking order.

I see nothing wrong with Bourgoin, solid Pro D2 side in a nice part of France - considering he moved mid season he could've done worse.te

Nick Runciman ----> London Welsh

Glaws to Welsh to Glaws to Welsh.
Might as well call him Yo-yo.

Is this a likely deal Duck?

Leo Auva -> London Welsh

That's not even funny. Stop that now.

You know what I told you ...

Leo Auva -> London Welsh

Wow if that's true that would be a huge signing for Welsh. Although if the reason why they can't sign Barry Davies is because they have too many foreign players, i don't see how they can sign Auva...

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Oh dear ...

Not sure, the linked site is hit and miss with transfers. Gets some right but also gets rumours of people like lucky number 7 as well.

The player in question has an official site run by that website so maybe there is some truth. If it is true then Kingsley Jones would be almost certainly a factor in it.

Turks still trying to sign Patric Cilliers, based on what some have said.
Seems like the Kings/SARU/Lions debacle is the primary stumbling block.

 

[welshglory]

A player like that is really going to help them achieve European rugby greatness :lol:

Sweet Lord the WP needs a good tighthead prop. In two seasons I have yet to see Cilliers take a backwards step or even looks slightly pressured come to think on it; he doesn't really put his opposition under any sort of pressure but he seems immune to pressure himself.. at least to my admittedly untrained eye. To bad our selectors/administrators are fully incompetent. We let Brian Mujati and WP Nel go just as they were approaching the mark. Surely we can make a good offer for a class 3? Please, WPRU?

Cilliers also makes a ton of tackles for a prop... well I guess at the Lions you are always going to be called on to make some tackles but still.

Not Northern Hemisphere but still a transfer rumour.

Ben Franks is seeking release from his Crusaders contract so he can focus on tighthead prop. Highlanders is one of the rumoured destinations but Jamie Joseph (coach) has said that they haven't contacted him.

 

[Draggs]

Olly Barkley to Racing Metro as an injury joker for Jonathan Wisniewski.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Can't imagine Bath allowing that, especially with Heathcote and Donald out injured.
