Transfers 2013/14

[munstermuffin]

Pat Lam really used his influence to get that Kiwi 7. A really good player from the reports and captained All Blacks 20s last year. In fact I surprised he's coming abroad so young

Jason Marshall (Prop). Aurilliac -----> La Rochelle

 

[psychic duck]

Campese Ma'afu ("Prop"): Cardiff Blues -> Nottingham RFC

Do the Nottingham coaches not watch rugby? Read their quotes on the official press release.

Head coach Martin Haag said: "Ma'afu is very physical, a great scrummager and is hungry to develop his game. He suits the way we want to play and has all the skills to complement the gameplan we have in place here."

[Draggs]

[nickdnz]

Where is Chavhanga off to?

 

[ratsapprentice]

I'm gonna guess that most of them are either moving to uk clubs in lower leagues or to France.

I sincerely doubt that. He's got mullered every time I've seen him play, even against Stephen Archer and conceded a penalty try against the Scarlets scrum.

 

[Draggs]

Where is Chavhanga off to?

Maybe back home?
If we had a solid pack, he is a player we could afford having.
Unfortunately his injuries and NWQ status make him somewhat of a frivolous squad member.

Won't forget his winning try v Blues last year, great stuff. All the best to Tonderai! (His son was born in Wales, see him in 16/17 years?)

 

[Croket66]

Tommaso Benvenuti confirmed to Perpignan but only if the club go to Heineken Cup (= if Leinster win Amlin Cup)

So, he will be in Perpignan next year because SF can't win against Leinster :lol:

what ever happened to wee jamie smith

Injured constantly. I cannot name one match that I recall him playing in. I know he did, just can't remember when.

Jamie Smith, Andy Tuilagi, Tonderai Chavhanga, Dan Lydiate, Dan Watchurst, Hywel Stoddart, Josh Tyler, Tom Brown are our confirmed departures as of right now.

Any takers?

 

[Draggs]

Any takers?

Maersk shipping, he has comparable handling to their container fleet.

 

[McTallshort]

Castro looking for a club, confirmed hes leaving Tigers and that the Toulon deal has fallen through would rather have him at Nottingham than Campese Ma'afu

 

[ratsapprentice]

Northampton? They are losing Soane (I know they have good back-up) and he would be in the midlands (he owns a restaurant, I believe).
Unlikely, and might be a step too far for a loyal Tiger...
