Billy Burns has signed a 2 year deal with Ulster, he’s looking to play for Ireland, as he’s Irish qualified apparently, I can’t blame him for leaving Gloucester after they signed Cipriani it was always going to limit his game time.
Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2018-19
^^ Just goes to show that there are still deals to be done, or yet to be announced.

Am I the only one who doesn’t rate Billy Burns at all, he’s so much more flakey than his brother yet without the flair.

Bit harsh kept Owen Williams out last season and big boots to fill in Ulster. Guess we’ll see soon enoughLeicestertinytiger wrote: ↑Mon Jul 09, 2018 7:27 pm Am I the only one who doesn’t rate Billy Burns at all, he’s so much more flakey than his brother yet without the flair.

To win is not as important as playing with style!

Utterly not in Ackermans favour, same as Moriarty, though not sure it is national prejudice.

Shame we can't tempt him back or be able to afford him, suggest he might go back over the"bridge" soon.
Always rated him better than Burns Snr.

Personally think having him back would immeasurably strengthen the squad, as a solid 10/12 with a proper boot.

He be too expensive though, look at the amount that Gloucester paid him!
Formerly of Burbaaage (not Inkleh), now up north at uni
Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2018-19
He'd go elsewhere, especially Tigers, for less.

I assume this includes all the DPP staff etc, as 24 coaches just in the main coaching clock seems pretty unnecessary.
Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2018-19
All teams have lots of extra FT staff e.g. community, academy etc. Chiefs do have the SW sewn up though, with a uncle/nephew relationship with Pirates.Rugbyflanker wrote: ↑Sun Jul 15, 2018 11:09 am Just read that Chiefs have 24 full time staff just in their academy set up!!
