David Mele is leaving Toby Flood @ Toulouse and going to Grenoble. http://www.therugbyforum.com/threads/36 ... -2016-2017
I see Toulouse are releasing a reasonable #9 who's not got another club yet

I believe that Tobias Gerald Albert Lieven Flood was injured in the round 19 game v Clermont where he played at 12 and was picked to return in round 24 v Oynnax he was on the bench (21) but was pulled before the start. Looks like season over now for him.
According to the Rugbyrama site, in the game against Oyonnax (round 24) Toby came on from the subs bench in the 71st minute, replacing McAlister.
His previous game was against UBB (round 18) when he was in the starting XV.
Now he may have been injured, of course, and was unavailable for the next matches. That, I don't know.

Is it any surprise he was injured? I bet he put his back out with all that extra print on his shirt.
Love it BeeJ - When I saw his names printed on the Toulouse team sheet I could not resist repeating it !! Mind you there are a lot of "Flood warnings" in France at present. Where's my wet suit?
Has there been a definitive list of leavers yet?
On the club's Wikipedia page (yes I know it can be scratchy), the likes of Crane, Pasqualli etc, the more recent departures, have all been removed, but Brugnara, Sio and Loamanu remain on the list of players.
Also, any further ideas on who's staying, who's going, and who's getting promoted from the development/academy setup yet?

Do you mean Jean-Marc Doussain?
I don't know when J-M D's contract comes to an end, but I'd be surprised if he left Stade toulousain as I believe that with the departure of David Melé, the only other scrum half of note is Bézy.
