Seems to be the Gary Gold influences coming through...

Western Mail reporting this. They are normally right on transfers.

A shame for the Scarlets to lose him, I don't think this move will be ideal for his career.

Four new signings for Dragons: http://www.rabodirectpro12.com/news/16292.php

Kris Burton (flyhalf) from Treviso
Netani Talei (backrow) from Edinburgh
Martin Muller (lock) from Cheetahs
Francisco Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro (prop) from Stade Francais

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Mike Blair ---> Newcastle

 

[psychic duck]

Kris Burton (flyhalf) from Treviso

Aged 33. Hardly the future, and hardly that great either. Decent goal kicker, and tackler. But stands far too deep.

Netani Talei (backrow) from Edinburgh

Faletau leaving is he?

Martin Muller (lock) from Cheetahs

South African journeyman Vodacom/Currie Cup lock. Hardly played much Super Rugby for the Cheetahs, not a single minute for two seasons in fact, more a signing from the Griquas than Cheetahs. Reminiscent of the kind of signing the Scarlets to "add grunt".

Francisco Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro (prop) from Stade Francais

Much like signing a South African lock, another signing probably more based on the stereotype of nationality rather than anything seen by the player. After all he has played a mere 32 minutes for Stade this season all in the Amlin Challenge Cup, but he is an Argentine prop so must be good.

 

[BRSTLDRGN]

James Hall from Newcastle to Bristol

Great Signing.

There were strong rumours down my way, I heard it from someone who is often close to the nail regarding Bristol, that we offered him a deal on the proviso we went up. If that was true then I guess the risk was too great.

 

[Feicarsinn]

Interesting. By all accounts Strings has been very impressive at Bath, but I would have thought that he's leaving it mighty fine with the whole tax back thing now.


On the other hand I do know that he's supposed to be mad for just playing, which is cool.
