Leicester Tigers

Good!

Don't think the absence list is too much to worry about at this stage. The only long term are Cole, Camacho, Matera and possibly Ed Slater.
Agree with others that there is just a more dynamic look, particularly on bench - looking forward to the drive up - God I have missed this lark!!!

Thanks for the update - assume no.1 is Bristow.

So assume Wells is now back - is this part of the Mafi departure? Answers on a postcard!

Having now read the report on Planet Rugby, it reads that he is already back in Australia. Need Tigers to clarify the situation.

Find this one hard to believe - lock is one of our strongest areas and Louis Deacon already provides the old head.

I suspect he has signed a pre-contract agreement as I am sure he is contracted to us for one more year - I reckon he will be off next spring - certainly hope its not til then.

Don't forget we can add Loamanu to our back row resources if we need to - played there a lot for Treviso!

Have received an email from Euro Rugby confirming next Tuesday at noon as the date for fixtures - and will reveal the final venue. At long last!!

Marcos now included in Argentina squad for the Rugby Championship - shame for us but hardly a surprise.

Are we still awaiting official confirmation of Michele Rizzo?

This might be more suitable for the Transfer rumours thread but I understand that a defence coach is on the way - no name but has international experience.
Sorry its a bit vague.
Feeling better today, yesterday was a struggle, Wood scored right in front of me!

Er any chance of getting back to Transfer rumours as per the title?
Props mostly now maybe.
No more essays please!!

Yes very sad to lose Perpignan - two cracking trips there in recent years - although we lost both!!

Also tripe Darc (IMO)!

Love the look of that line-up - and it gives us two strong front threes that we have missed this season.
Scully for me over Benjamin, certainly away from home.

So we must still be in the market for a prop or two.
