there was a link on a scarlets forum to a local rag in Clemont saying they signed him, they are all up in arms thats this has come out on the morning of there biggest game for a fair few years,

mind you he is 30 maybe one last big payday before going back to NZ to put his feet up, couldn't blame him

On December 2nd, nothing has been confirmed since, the article had nothing reliable in it, it was picked up by sites like Planet Rugby all saying the same thing as the article in French. Until official word comes out then I don't believe it. The same occurred in 2008 regarding King and Clermont, so I would approach with caution.
 
God help us if Stoddart plays 15, he's a winger, his defense is suspect. Nothing is 100% confirmed with him and King leaving, the latest news is that King might stay with Scarlets. Charlie Faumuina looks a decent player, playing some decent rugby, but then again so did Filise and well ... looked where that got us.
Hey, Filise is a legend. Just look into his eyes and I'm sure you'll be convinced. I'm not even sure he can speak.

I hear Nicky Robinson's on his way back. I hope Parks is off. He doesn't suit the Blues. I can't see Priestland leaving the Scarlets, at least not until he's into the Welsh side.

I hope Robbo goes back to Cardiff. He has a year left though, doesn't he?

Didnt expect Faumuina to leave, he had alot of promise and is still very young. Hes already three times the player Fillise was.

He's out of contract at the end of this season.

Andy Powell is apparently becoming a free agent between the end of the season and a few days after the start of the World Cup, then his new contract with Wasps kicks in, meaning he's free for all the World Cup warm-up games and build-up to the tournemnt itself. Novel idea.

Also, Henson is looking to leave Sarries. Hopefully the Ospreys can get him back in for Hook.
 
Will be interesting to see if he does, as he did make a point of wanting to stick in/around London, but really: Noone needs him (with the exception of maybe Irish, who've stopped playing Ryan Lamb for some reason)

That is a good idea by Powell (or more likely - Shaun Edwards) - 'handshake agreement' that they'll sign him after the WC, so they release him before the warmups
 
Hmm. Despite it being reported Brookes has signed for Leicester (confirmed by none of Brookes, Leicester or Newcastle mind), its now being whispered Ulster have got him...
 
He's a good player. If he goes to Ulster it would mean that all four provinces would have Irish qualified tightheads playing for them, and 3 of them wouldn't be awful. Things are looking better at TH.
 
It also potentially means for Ulster being able to turn McAllister and Brookes into a long term partnership... 22 and 21 respectively. Good for Ulster (and Ireland). Apparently his mum's from Ulster too.

Still... only forum talk so far. But fingers crossed.
 
Nooo! You gots me all excited about him. :p

Well we'll see... but you can't hog all the good young tightheads!

I'm certain hes signed for Leicester. I'd be shocked if all the sites were wrong.

Wouldn't be the first time sites got it wrong or contracts got cancelled. But its all speculation at this stage.

edit: speculation the rumour started himself has now cast doubt on... ah well.

It happened with Tonga'huia last season
 
Re Tonga'uiha: Not quite. That wasn't a contract, more a pre-signinging signing. So while compensation had to be paid, there was a get out clause. Same with Warwick & London Irish.

I never knew there was a get out clause, but anyway, it doesn't matter now. I've also heard this rumour that either the Sarries or Leicester are going to sign a hooker from Edinburgh
