Stade Toulousain: Pierre-Louis Barassi towards Toulon?
Teddy Thomas (31 years old) hired from next summer, Santiago Chocobars (25 years) about to extend, Paul Costes (21 years old) and Pita Ahki (32 years old) under contract, the future of Pierre-Louis Barassi (26 years old) Toulouse Stadium seems more and more uncertain. Monday, on the airwaves of South Radio, Yoann Hugetformer player of the Haut-Garonnais club, almost spilled the beans, saying that the international center could bounce back Toulon.
At the end of the lease next June, the former Lyonnais was courted by the French Stadium for several months. A departure a year before the end of his contract had even been mentioned. In recent weeks, it has been RC Toulon who held the rope. A trend which would be confirmed according to the latest rumors in the corridor. The announced retirement of Jeremy Sinzelle (34 years old) could speed things up. To be continued.
Dicodusport's review : Obviously, the arrival of Teddy Thomas, combined with the very probable extension of Santiago Chocobares, should cause a collateral victim. Announced in the departure rumors for several months, Barassi should be the one who will pack up.
Bayonne: Maxime Machenaud courted
One day, a new club on the ranks of Maxime Machenaud. While the extension of the 35-year-old scrum half was almost confirmed on the side of Bayonnethe two parties have not yet managed to agree on the duration of the new lease. The player wants a two-season contract, when the Bayonne board offers him only one year.
Therefore, rumors have been flying in recent days. Once mentioned, the idea of a return to the UBB has, it seems, fallen through. But in recent hours, the CA Brive and the Stade Rochelais have, in turn, shown an interest in the former international. According to the Olympic Middaythe Corrèze club would offer him a two-season lease. Nevertheless, Machenaud enjoys the Basque coast. In short, the future of the former player Racing 92 will continue to be talked about over the next few days.
Dicodusport's review : Bayonne, Brive, La Rochelle or another? The future of Maxime Machenaud is at the heart of the discussions in the corridors of Jean-Dauger, but not only that. Outcome expected in the coming days.
RC Toulon: Jérémy Sinzelle will hang up his crampons
Jeremy Sinzelle will retire at the end of this 2024-2025 season. THE Olympic Midday says the 34-year-old center will end his professional career. Trained to Toulonthen passed through the French Stadium and the Stade Rochelais, Sinzelle returned to the harbor in 2022, just to complete the loop.
A sporting retirement, yes, but unsurprisingly, the native of Nice will keep both feet in rugby and at Mayol, since he will join the staff of Pierre Mignoni starting next season. It remains to be seen in which area he will bring his skills.
Dicodusport's review : Logical choice by Jérémy Sinzelle. If he remains up to par on the pitch, the next generation is there and the possible arrival of Pierre-Louis Barassi has given the former center of Stade Français and La Rochelle pause. Above all, the prospect of transmitting by training ended up convincing the main person concerned.
