Leicester Tigers

... Pain in the :censored: to play against I would imagine because he always gives up a full shift. Great news. Not sure that I can ever forgive him for pushing our weak scrum back and sideways, he was at right angles to the tunnel, at the Stoop a few years back. JPDoyle awarded a penalty try, one ...

Yes this thread is for wildly optimistic transfer rumours that the entire NZ backline is moving to Welford Road

‘IS moving’ to WR?

HAS moved to WR surely but awaiting quarantine expiry and visas before the announcements are made.

Well let’s hope that with ‘Topps Tiles’ on our boys’ shirts they don’t get laid by tools like Stains!

...Interestingly Steve Diamond is hoping to get "15 or 16" games out of Manu which is approximately every other game of 1 1/2 seasons. Guess that's how he "looks after players" That’s more than we’ve got out of him recently, isn’t it? It would make an interesting mitigation poin...

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/2020/07/14/emphasis-player-welfare-convinced-manu-tuilagi-join-sale-sharks/ So Tigers haven’t looked after Manu? “The former Leicester centre has signed a year-long deal, set to take in 1½ Premiership seasons and understood to be worth about £300k.” “ Tuilagi,...

The cynic in me reads that as a bit of PR.

A lower salary from Exeter and a top up from a contractual claim against Tigers might be enough.

That frees up significant levels of cap space in order to find replacements.

Would any compensation levied by the courts come within the salary cap?

I don’t want other club’s supporters and the media to sympathise with Tigers...I want them to fear us again.

My guess is that Cole, Clare, Kerr, Youngs, Green, Simmons, Coghlan, McPhillips are contracted to end of next season 2020/21 Heyes, Lewis, Lavanini, Hardwick, are contracted to the season after. 2021/22 The 13 senior re-signings split between ending 2022/23 and 2023/24 Genge rumoured to be 2022/23 ...

....Suddenly the French/Japanese pay check is hugely attractive even without England cash. Which is likely to be less than currently. “ The agreement over match fees for England players, which currently amount to £25,000 a game, has also come to an end.

Not confirmed.................

Béziers? Strange choice for a player who usually runs in straight lines.

You throwing a curve ball there?

Rugby Pass are linking Manu with Sale, Toulouse, Racing 92, Beziers, Japan, Bristol and Leicester Tigers. They've also said it might depend on what Eddie Jones thinks. Or Gatland. Or both. Or neither. I think we can assume they haven't got a clue where he's going to end up. Yup, and I’m with sapajo...

Guessing really , but based on various statements that The Club will spend upto the Salary Cap there will probably be further recruitment at some stage as a large amount of finance has just become available.Also , without question, players and options will be on the market. Is that ‘large amount of...

Montoya is the sort of hooker that can help make props look good. Add him to Genge and Leatigaga and it could get messy. Scrum, maul, carrying, pressure, pressure and more pressure. Brute force, that can also play a bit. Did that not used to be our forte? My memory isn't that good, help me out.
