Confirmed Transfers

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Pa Campbell ---> Ealing Trailfinders

It wasn't until I heard about Pa Flood that I knew Pa was a Irish first name

 

[Which Tyler]

Will Parry as well (academy centre released by Bath) IMO he's premiership quality if given a chance

Young Bath Rugby centre adds to list of departing players

Will Parry scored two tries in eight senior appearances for Bath Rugby

Sarries have confirmed that Farrell is returning.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Joe Ford confirmed as Sale attack coach,

Cautiously optimistic, did well at Doncaster (4 seasons as backs coach, one as head coach)

 

[Which Tyler]

Finn Russell confirmed at Bath until 2028

This is the precise opposite of the news that Leicester are getting Castore shit kit

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Gives us less competition for Fin Smith! So great news

 

[Which Tyler]

Joe Ford confirmed as Sale attack coach,

Most valuable coach in the league is surely Lee Dickson at Newcastle - as (I think) his brother recuses himself from their matches.

Believe me, we have discussed this greatly on our forum

Didn't realise Seabrook and Rogerson had joined Worcester,
They've also nabbed one of Saints S&C coaches - their S&C team worked miracles with their players, especially the backs. The difference in their back play pre and post bulk up was crazy

Really are building a decent side


Trailfinders have signed Josh Caulfield, from Bristol, and Harry Thompson (released from our academy) as well - Champ should be fun next season, just hope more of it is actually available to watch

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Yeah Tigers also signed one of Saints senior S&C coaches in Chris Kemp guys last off season and feel it's helped

 

[Geordie]

Jack Metcalf joins Leeds rhinos on a trial.

The rate we're going i better get my boots out the attic

Mad,
Might see that more with that salary cap loophole they introduced (if the player has never played League before they're exempt from the cap, then it scales over the following seasons - can't remember the numbers but it's like 33% in the next season, 66% the one after etc.)

Interesting.
Hes a squad player at best, but the fact we're dropping players for fun now...its getting concerning the total silence from KP...

No amount of money would get Fin to leave his mates and the best pitch in the uk to play on that narrow sandy mess with a load of backs who can just about pass under pressure.

Just not going to happen.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

You say that, but Tigers will be bumping up that wage of his a nice amount

Could prob offer him 500k

 

[stus768]

Surely saints would prioritise keeping him and being able to have him as a marquee gives them the advantage?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Just biding his time until he can return to Worcester

Are you joking or do you genuinely think you might sign him? Not sure if it's a windup or not.

Assuming it's not, there just no way I can see him going to Tigers of all places.

Saints can offer him the marquee shot, whereas tigers can't.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I mean he's not from Northampton/didn't come through their academy - I doubt the animosity is there off the pitch
