Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2020-21

Are the Pacific Island teams starting next season. If so I can see the likes of Kapeli with Tongan background going to one of them.

Otere Black came out a few weeks back and said he was open to a move abroad. Especially with Barrett coming back to take the starting 10 spot at the Blues...

Don’t get my hopes up!

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Black is not that far down the pecking order for the ABs, probably far enough down he needs an injury or two to get a shot but high enough up if he came to the UK he'd be a marquee player. I highly doubt he'd get less than £400k even in the reduced wages post Covid. There's a lot of sides who could do with a flyhalf, Montpellier for instance have Pollard coming out of contract in summer 2022 and saw Lozowski and Goosen leave this summer. Tolouse have been linked with Biggar but Black would be even more ideal, I presume they could go back to Ntamack at 12 and Black wouldn't be called up unlike Biggar.

Re Kapeli, the PI teams might be starting up but what budget have they got? At 28 he's not had any significant moves in his career. A few years with us might be the difference between not having a mortgage and having to work post retirement or just having to work. Salaries aren't big down in NZ.

Bristol departures.Not the most popular Club in these parts right now but certainly have to give credit for what is a highly cohesive and stable environment.... (if on occasions a little injury prone)

With Batty retiring that leaves Bath short at hooker. They'll have to sign a couple.

Walker never quite lived up his age grade billing. Maybe he can kick on again.

Or Agent's leaking 'scoops' to subtly stir the pot for early contract (re)negotiations.

Often wonder in Ben curry might wanna step out his brothers shadow and move to another club . He’s very similar to Tom and would be a big player at most premiership teams

Crickey how long is it since he left Coronation Street, he must be even older than Wigglesworth.

I think it would help B. Curry massively to move to another club, okay it works for the du Preez twins but that’s because Jean-Luc is primarily a lock and Dan is a Number 8 whereas both Currys are opensides.
