Good luck to him, I wish him well.

Sorry to see him leave though.

Yet another rumour regarding a specific player leaving proves to be correct.

That's a shame, I thought he was developing into a great player.

Good Luck all the same.

dailywaffle....not sure re the yet another bit as most, if not 99 per cent of the rumours are wrong.

We'll regret letting him go - a Leicester-born lad too.

Damn shame! All the best though Luke...

A real shame - young,local, and he looked to be developing into a very useful player. Along with Moody, we've missed him this year.
Maybe should have seen it coming with that hair - obviously a Chabal fan!!
Good luck, Luke

Makes the touted arrival of Ben Woods all the more necessary.

For God sake why did we let him go? He's such a brilliant player, I'd have him over Newby any day of the week and twice on a Saturday.

Good luck to you Luke

Classic short sightedness.

Look at the whole Will Skinner departure for a classic example.

Good luck, Luke.

Sale now have a Seabass lookalike as well as the real thing

completely agree with you adamv6!!! why let two great talents in skinner and now abraham leave?? obviously it isnt always possible, but i strongly feel the club should be doing everything in their power to try to keep young quality players at the club and continue their development!

Will Skinner was replaced by a certain Shane Jennings and there's no doubt he had a much greater impact than Skinner did at Welford Road.

Sure, Skinner is a good, hard-working player, but he's not world class and is unlikely to become so - much like Abrahams.

I don't think Luke's good enough to get ahead of Moody or Herring in the pecking order for the seven shirt anytime soon, so I can see why Tigers were willing to let him move and why he fancied a change.

Good luck to him in the future, but this is by no means a major blow for the club.

Who's to say we didn't? Maybe he just wanted a change.

Sad to see him go though, was developing into a great player. Still, lets hope the expected arrival of Woods and/or Newby, the return to fitness of Moody and the continuing form of Herring will soften that particular blow.

i realised that half way through my rant!!!!!!!!!! still very disappointing to see another young and very good academy product leave to club! i hope this is not going to be something that will happen too often!
