Leicester Tigers

Dave Ewers would be a great addition to our squad. Anyone who says otherwise needs their heads checking!

Id be intrigued to see a full squad list of are players earnings.

What cap? Theres not a cats chance in hell Sarries stick to the cap given their recent renewals.

Gotta be some seriously overpaid guys in our squad then if we are paying up to the cap and not going as high as Wasps or Sarries with our marquee's.

In my book that makes Tuilagi our highest paid player?

£600k!? Holy God!

As a matter of interest, I wonder what Owen Farrel is on.

More than Ford.

Judging by Rizzo's instagram story, they were drinking! Cant blame them to be fair.

So whats the actual ceiling then? £7million base salary with 2 marquees not included? Does this include bonuses? How much is allowed for academy players/graduates?

Wasps will probably have Carr, Hughes and Shields next season while we still have nobody capable of breaking the line at 8.

Its pathetic recruitment from us.

Bang on. Add on the fact our recruitment has been below average and coaching sub-standard for a while now and there we have it!

From the Irish Examiner: "Cordero’s name is one of several being circulated by agents looking for prospective contract offers from European clubs but it is understood Munster have no interest in making a bid." Apparently he is definitely not coming to Tigers due to us dragging our feet, a...
