TRANSFER RUMOURS!!

[Eggs]

If we had played Gloucester I would have expected us to play Afoa! (obviously on the off chance he was in the right hemisphere!!)

[HoneyBadger]

Can't see the point in the signing either. Surely even if Jared was leaving a signing from one of the sh sides.
Cost less in wages.
Won't be hindered during 6 nations.
And will qualify for Ireland, doesn't have to be a project player per se offer a 2 year contract and then maybe an extra extension (like nacewa) or an initial 3 year if the irfu permit.

Anyone who thinks Hogg would be a bad signing is deluded, still can't see it happening!

I'm not saying he's a bad player. I just don't understand why Ulster would sign him.

Crossing everything that Jared doesn't leave.

[breakdown]

I'm not really sure why we'd be signing him unless Jared does leave. If Ludik has officially signed already we cant bring him in anyway

With Jared we have a top class full back, and good cover, we have options at centre and at 10 we have Jackson and Humphreys providing cover so theres no position Hogg plays that we arent sorted for

[ruckover]

Payne ain't leaving, Hogg ain't coming.

I wonder how many times people will have to be told that Jared isn't leaving before they realise it's true

[damianmcr]

Who is in the photo ruck?

[Snipe Watson]

Wiehahn Herbst is in Belfast this week. That could be the back of his head. This is him and Franco.

You have to shoot some of them first then implant the thought in their brains

I think if you shoot one, any of the Sammy's will do, the rest will quickly come to the realisation that Jared isn't signing for Leinster.

[Cornerfleg]

Jared played sax on Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street.

Fact!

[Cornerfleg]

Jared can tell it's not butter

[Cornerfleg]

Feel free to start any more Jared urban myths... I'm getting tired of the Leinster one now!

[LegsLikeSausages]

Jared once made a makeshift chess board with 16 carefully arranged slices of Battenberg cake.

[Starsky]

Well the fact is I saw 4 people together at a table at lunchtime today. Three of whom were instantly recognisable to me once I saw their faces. I have no idea whether Hogg will ultimately be signed, but he is a great player. I was actually a little shocked when I saw him as I was expecting to hear a South African accent in the discussion. But it was Stuart Hogg, with a guy who bears a resemblance to Hogg's agent and they were sitting with UR's coach and DoR. The photo is crap, my eyesight is not.
