Not Mulipola....he needs to stay

Cilliers wiki page already has him coming to us. Yes I know wiki isn't wholly reliable, but gives some weight to the rumour! Looks good. Injuries though?

Leicester Tigers have agreed a move for Sale Sharks wing Tom Brady for next season.

The 25-year-old Brady has made more than 100 appearances in six seasons with the Sharks since making a try-scoring debut against Newcastle Falcons in September 2010.

Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill said: "Tom has a lot of ability in the wide channels and has a decent try-scoring record. We think he can kick on again at Leicester and look forward to welcoming him during the summer.”

Tigers have also confirmed the addition of Australia international Matt Toomua and South African World Cup winner JP Pietersen to the backline ahead of the 2016/17 season, while Jono Kitto, George Catchpole and Jack Roberts have today agreed new contracts.

Brady said: "As a local lad, playing for Sale Sharks has been a dream come true, I have loved my time at the club. However, the opportunity to play for one of the biggest clubs in Europe doesn't come along every day and I'm massively excited at the prospect of joining Leicester Tigers next season. The quality of squad they are assembling and the drive for trophies is something I'm looking forward to being part of."

Any idea on said complications RB?

I have to say that the signing of Brady is a bit of a strange one for me, although that seems to signal that Goneva is definitely off. After his cameo yesterday, I'm not surprised mind!

Pearce is definitely off 100% unfortunately as for Logo hopefully we can keep him...

[RagingBull]

Pat cilliers confirmed

[Suz]

Some good signings today
I just hope Cockers comment here mentioning Mulipola isn't just smoke and mirrors

At 29, he is coming into his prime as a prop and we look forward to seeing him getting down to work here in preparation for next season alongside guys like Marcos Ayerza, Dan Cole, Tom Youngs, Logovi'i Mulipola and Fraser Balmain

[RagingBull]

If we can have a front row coming into next season of

1) Ayerza, Logo, Cilliers, Genge
2) Youngs, McGuigan, Thacker, Bateman
3) Cole, Cilliers, Balmain, Logo

I would be very happy.

Could finally be the castro replacement.

Not my place to say really, If what i have heard is correct.

But there is complications, from what I gather.

[fleabane]

Any prospect of a new forwards coach? Someone who knows the dark arts, and that scrums should go forwards, (hence the name of the people in scrums), and not backwards, and only down when it looks as though the opposition are to blame? Someone who knows about hooking?

Chutes? Jon Smit?
