TRANSFER RUMOURS!!

[cjp]

Possibly a good thing, instead of all this rumours, fans get excited and then they don't sign.

Been posted by a taff on 606 that David Lyons of Scarlets is heading our way

[pip14]

he's on a 4 year deal there from 2008

[Ardglass2]

Then again whats a contract worth in Wales these days

The taff in question has said he has a get our clause after 2 years - which is now

He may have a 4 year deal but as he has a get out clause. Here is the story from Wales Online.

Lyons is a great player and I think he is on a par with Rush. The Scarlets work him really hard as there is no-one else to share the ball carrying duties - he's a great player.

Let's wait for an official announcement - but if he comes, I for one think he will be a good signing

Lyons apparently has a clause in his contract which could see him leave Parc y Scarlets.

Irish province Ulster are believed to be interested with their deal to take Blues star Xavier Rush to Belfast on the point of collapse.

Powerful ball-carrier Lyons, who has been capped 44 times by the Wallabies and has two years left on Scarlets deal, is also understood to be on the wanted list of several French clubs.

I think he is on power with Rush.

not sure he rates in the gym - anyone have any comparable stats on bench-pressing?
On the field though I'd say he'd be on a par...

Story also appearing on this website however they may just be copying the story on Fails Online...

It has also emerged that there is still uncertainty surrounding the future of Australian No. 8 David Lyons, who is understood to be still mulling over a possible move away from Parc y Scarlets.

Lyons is contracted for another two years, although it appears there are still issues to be resolved.

I fixed that one for me!

Thanks Welder

I have it on good authority that we made a move for George Smith before he signed up with the Frenchies, guess we couldnt match the money

[browner]

Agree with the comments about Lyons...he could do with shedding a few pounds though.

Agree with the comments about Lyons...he could do with shedding a few pounds though.

yip, I advised a few Scarlet fans that a fat Aussie at no8 isn't perfect - they agreed but we also agreed he is a damned good player. Would prefer Rush but a pretty good replacement IF it happens.

[scrum5]

as has already been said Lyons is a mighty fine player and was probably the Scarletts best player last season, a big abrasive ball carrying 8 with over 40 international caps to his name, some may think he is overweight but he certainly gets around the pitch and makes plenty of hard yards..... would be a good signing if we could get him......

[Off the Top]

Maybe "The Hill" at pre-season training will help him with his weight!

[thewaterboy]

Now that the Rush deal is dead in the water, McMillan is apparently in talks with Ulster re a possible return to Ravenhill...
