Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2020-21

[TigerFeetSteve]

Have Worcester had a lot of outgoings? They seem to be making quite a few signings including a few I can't see being cheap.

None confirmed yet, but I believe they may have a big turnover this year

I've heard similar from a good source.

Whilst it's a bit more nerve wracking as we haven't seen any official arrivals yet I prefer our way of doing it, announcing most depatures first and then hopefully announcing the incoming players, it'll mean we finish on the positive arrivals rather than negatives of losing good players.

Weir to Scotland (Glasgow)
Hougaard apparently off
Schonert allegedly off to Chiefs
David off to Quins

Those are the rumours I've heard

How could I forget the Weir one! My bad!
Hougaard apparently wants to stay in the Uk to get citizenship but with Heinz and Chudley can see him leaving. Hadn’t heard the Schonert one, that and David is interesting. David has looked good for Warriors this season.

Will be interesting to see it play out.

I did read on one website today (apologies, can't remember which one) that Kieran Brookes is upping and moving to Toulon (apologies if this has been mentioned on here already)

Worcester also apprently signing Amanaki Mafi

A signing 5 years ago I would've really wanted us to make.
But since then I have zero desire for him at tigers even without Wiese

I too would have loved him at Welford a few seasons ago but since then he has been in some extremely questionable incidents. Worcester are spending big but are they spending wisely? Not sure Heinz and van der Merwe are exactly smart aquisitions and I see them as panic signings actually.

Nottingham sign Ben Betts (Prop), Luke Frost (Second Row) and Ben Sugars (Hooker) ahead of next season.
Betts former Tigers and Munster coming out of retirement.

Betts was rated highly with us if I remember rightly, moved on for more game time? Good to see him back.

Kyle Eastmond signed to Leeds rhinos on a 2 year deal

Betts former Tigers and Munster coming out of retirement.

I'm happy that Ben has reversed his retirement decision. Injuries and Mark Tampin (a good player IMO) stalled his progress at Ealing but he's a talented player.

Dimen, Betts, Aniseko Sio, Owen Hills and Jake Farnworth adds a very Tigers feel to the Notts front row.

I was really happy to see that Charlie Thacker has another senior contract as well having joined Notts.

Any ideas where Harry Mahoney ended up after leaving the academy RB?

Last I heard Scotland for Highland RFC

[RagingBull]

Kyle Eastmond has signed for Leeds Rhinos so that's all the players who refused a pay cut signed elsewhere
