Just read an article about how the rebels and force are fighting it out to remain in Super rugby if either of these teams do go there is a lot of talent in them that be of interest to a team like us:
Sefanaia Naivalu Dane Haylett-Petty
Marika Koroibete Luke Morahan
Lopeti Timani Curtis Rona
Jack Debreczeni Tatafu Polota-Nau
Nic Stirzaker
Colby Fainga'a
Sean McMahon

Noddy, I appreciate you are excited about the new signings but I think it probable that Manu Tuilagi will be selected at 13 ahead of Holmes who is a winger or fullback, back up centres are Tait, Smith and Owen who looks impressive (he can also play at 15), George Catchpole at wing or centre if he can maintain fitness could push for a place. Our back line and the supporting cast is looking stronger than I remember seeing since the Cusworth, Dodge , Woodward era, I correct myself we are now stronger! The forwards are looking pretty good too, this looks like being a super season, maybe not like 2001but we could be approaching that level.

I can think of worse problems to have than arguing over whether we are better off with Burns or Ford.

The Brumbies tighthead prop sim very good ball-carrier wonder if he is available, Alaatoa I think his name is.

Is that the same Eddie who plays Haskell who has played 3 awesome games in 70 caps or the same Eddie who plays Hartley who offers close to all for just over 40 minutes lol.

According to TRP MOC states we haven't spoken to DMAC but he is a fantastic player and he is happy with our recruitment in the pack. It would appear that the only player incoming will be May.
Re: Leicester Tigers 2017/18 Squad/Transfers/Contract thread!
I wouldn't rule it out just yet.
If Tigers and MacKenzie's club have not 100% agreed a buy out fee yet then we wouldn't be allowed to talk to the player, so in theory, we won't have spoken to him directly. However, his agent may have told Tigers that he is willing to join if the two clubs can agree on a fee.

I watched an interview on Youtube with McKenzie about Leicester and his response was definitely not a no, if he is coming it won't be till 2018/19 I believe.

Well, Tigers twitter is implying that we're in for a magic Monday of announcements, so I suspect that anything and everything that's left will be confirmed today.
On a side note, DMAC is in limbo with the AB squad. Not selected in the main squad as either a full back or a 10, but listed as a replacement (with an eye on Ben Smith's sabbatical). Bit of a p*ss take in my view - not sure what the means for us!
