Leicester Tigers

Interestingly the Daily Mail piece referencing Hill and Skinners probable Exeter exit mention that we are keeping an eye on the Hill situation.

Can’t see that myself. Big wage. Another we’d lose to England duty etc

Very good point!!

Think he’ll end up at Bristol eventually. Maybe not under Lam, after the way he handled himself when Genge was last out of contract. Would be surprised if he were to leave now, having just taken the captaincy and looks to have local business interests here, but suppose with the cap coming down, it c...

Does beg the question, as the likes of Kelly, Steward etc come to re-neg time, what gives? Feels like we must be close to capacity cap wise. Moroni? Nadolo? You'd think that we may lose one of these guys to make room for improved contract negotiations.

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but IF Pollard does join, and with Ford leaving, would he be able to be classified as marquee?

1 marquee slot available, with Pollard (?), Genge, Montoya to fit in sounds snug.

Not sure the cap works etc, but for me I’d be happy if the cost saved by losing Ford is used to secure the long term future of our ‘new’ stars… Wiese, Steward, Martin, MvS, Hanro, Kelly, JvP etc. With the cap reducing, and players having already taken cuts, lock down the cornerstone of the club. We’...

Given the recruitment success in SA, wonder if Wilks etc would look to the likes of Curwin Bosch, Boeta Chamberlain or Jordan Hendrikse as potential replacements.

Can we use any money saved from Ford on Ollie Hassell-Collins, please? Not a 10, but don’t care!

If it was France, I’d 100% ‘get it’ from Ford’s perspective. But can’t see why you’d leave Tigers for Sale based on current trajectory. Money talks I guess

Had heard to expect David Williams to return from Nottingham full time. Not sure if that’s this season or next…

Hegarty HIA is not what we want to hear.

Had heard an - unconfirmed - rumour that Henderson has blown his knee. Which would add to his non selection here.

Agbongbon is a big lad, based on his reels he can shift too, certainly interested to see where he plays!! Looks like U18s he started at 8.

Borthwick: “The team to play Sale on Saturday…

No.10… George Ford”

Pretty disrespectful for Sanderson to be talking so openly about another team's player. That said, he sounds confident of getting it done which is ominous Fully with this comment. Can you imagine Borthwick talking up another player at another club, currently under contract? Me neither. Now, I don’t...
