Munster Transfers

Hi, any news on new transfers for the Munster Centers?

There's 29 pages of speculation on MunsterFans if you want to check it out. There is still nothing but rumours circling.

And by rumours circling, I mean that we are definitely - 100% - signing Conrad Smith or another centre.

We need backrowers more than centres, imo.

We can cobble something out of Mafi, Murphy x2, Barnes, Earls, Hanrahan etc.

Possibly, but we are going after centres, not backrowers. Management obviously have confidence in POM, TOD, BOH, Butler (Ronan :rolleyes:) and co.

Is Barry Murphy not leaving? Or is their a third Murphy I'm missing out on?

The rumours surrounding Barry Murphy have ranged from him going to France to him being offered a pay-as-you-play deal next year. Nobody seems to know what is happening with him next year.

Jean de Villiers, Jaque Fourie, Juan de Jongh

All Stormers and I would take any of them.

Don't want JdV back. Want a decent No. 8, a center and a new front row. Give the coach until Christmas, chances are we'll get a tough draw and not get out of the group again In other words don't think we'll see him in 2012. It's sucks being this pessimistic

Unless he drops down to a smaller team I can't see him getting anything other then a pay as you play offer.

Have you seen him playing for the Stormers this year? He's been superb, been creating and scoring tries. Himself and Fourie are a brilliant partnership. I'd have him back in a heartbeat tbh.

Form 12 in the world. He would be a brilliant signing but I doubt we'll get him back for whatever reasons.

As I've stated other times, I think our back play is down to more than just personnel.

i think Munster need to concentrate on having a solid scrum (botha signing should sort that out) and a back rower who can carry the ball.

Too much chopping and changing in the backs this season.
