Transfers Rumours

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

If Northampton have come in for Nagle with a decent offer, it'll be tough for him to turn down. He'd go in as 3rd choice lock but would start a lot when Lawes is at the World Cup and 6 Nations. At Munster he'd have a fight on his hands to make the team even while the World Cup is on. I'd expect him to stay if he's offered a deal of 2 or more years but Munster mustn't be complacent.

I'd say a two or three year contract for Nagle at Northampton makes a hell of a lot of sense. Quite possibly more than staying at Munster unless he's got some promises over gametime.

Agree with this but well it seems from training Nagle is going to be put right up the pecking order. I would agree if he isn't he should consider the Saints but I think him and Dave Foley are 2 guys we have to push up the que now

Bullitt, Nagle is one of the few rugby related things Munster have to be optimistic about Always a standout player and often MoM, including against the likes of Australia and Ulster in Ravenhill. He isn't ginger, and he is from Cork, so definitely genetically superior to POC

I hope to god he stays, but only if he is staying because he wants to force his way into the team not just because Munster have offered him an improved contract.

Multiple sources are saying Toulon and Bayonne are duking it out to sign Matt Giteau.

He would be a fool to go Toulon. Wilkinson and Contepomi both have over 2 more years at the club. Toulon would play Giteau at scrumhalf.

Bayonne have plenty of room for him!

Upon resigning Wilkinson and Fernández Lobbe both spoke wonders of Toulon in comparison to Newcastle and Sale. The Salary Cap really factors in here.

Jamie Hagan hasn't put pen to paper on a new Connacht contract as he was reported to have done last week. An unnamed English club are interested in him.

My bet is Harlequins given how much Conor O'Shea raves about him on TV.

 

[munstermuffin]

He's welcome down in Limerick

That is very true. Toulon do not need him, and he does not need Toulon. I did read somewhere online that Munster might be interested in him, does anyone know if that is true? If Warwick does leave he would be a good replacement, playing him at 12 and moving Earls to 15.

Munster signing Giteau would be an expensive way of papering over some very big cracks. Not a shrewd signing.

France beckons IMO.

 

[munstermuffin]

Munster aren't interested in Giteau.
Can say that 100% certain. We have enough options and well I don't think he'd fit in to the Munster style.

No rumours to be found on the web but two real possibilities are Toulouse and Stade Français.

- Toulouse want another flyhalf. They were interested in Dan Carter but that didn´t work out. Now they are going after Lionel Beauxis. Toulouse are also in need of a 12 as Jauzion is retiring from test rugby fter the RWC and should stop alltogether soon afterwards. Giteau looms as ideal.

- SF have gotten Warwick and should Beauxis stay or go to Toulouse they could reallly use Giteau as they have no other 10. Warwick looms as a 10 not a 15 for SF.

I still think Bayonne would offer more though.

 

[munstermuffin]

Snoop the thing about Munster is strangely we've lost alot less this year than in recent years.
Just think Giteau wouldn't suit our style.

And SF haven't got Warwick yet Melhor

From the website which broke news of Johann Muller signing for Ulster when no other news outlet caught wind if it:

Fionn Carr turns down Leinster in favour of Ulster.
Ryan Caldwell to Bath.
Brian McLaughlin possibly out as coach.

do we really need carr though?? seems like an dd buy for ulster

so grewcock retiring so they want caldwell to give away penalty's for them fair jews

He's better than Simon Danielli and helps to build a bigger squad. Carr, Danielli, Trimble and Gilroy is a good rotation of wingers.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Looking forward to seeing how Carr goes in a stronger team,
Will be interesting to see if the Ireland selectors take notice of him (also to see whether he outshines Trimble )
