2015/16 Squad/Contracts/Rumours and Transfers Thread Part 5

[The Boy Dave]

i don't remember Crane getting turnover often as well.

Selective memory.
To be fair to everyone ball retention is not something the Tigers have been that good at as a collective in recent years.

There's talk in the French press that Steffon Armitage is close to signing for Lyons...

I have heard a rumour that JDV will be signing for us, wouldn't it be great to see him in a tigers shirt.

Looking at that squad posted above, still look fractionally light of depth at
2nd Row, 13, and back 3.
Are we expecting any further additions???

Back row, you could argue it could do with another body, but the recent emergence of Evans may just resolve that.

Fissler reporting Sean Maitland had a medical at Saracens yesterday and will be announced after the final...

Good signing for them imo

Snarling and gnashing of teeth while blindly ranting about the salary cap in 5...4...3...

Nothing against the guy but can anyone explain the point of such signings that hardly ever play a first team game and then leave after 1 or 2 years? There's been a few others that's done that in recent years. I'm struggling to see what Tigers get for the money?

People wouldn't be silly enough (bar Noddy) to insinuate they were over this year..imo they used to be a perhaps a Strettle over and subsequently he left and wasn't replaced..

The amount of academy products they have is pretty impressive but in a couple of years time for them to be able to keep everyone they have doesn't seem feasible and to still have depth..Like Quins with their international contingent..but I think Sarries will somehow manage
