Leicester Tigers 2017/18 Squad/Transfers/Contract thread!

I've got Sky Sports for one last year until BT get full European coverage so am going to watch Edinburgh V Cardiff on BBC Wales Friday night

TRP saying that John Plumtree (Hurricanes forwards coach and Former Sharls Head coach) is looking for a stint in the prem.
IF true i would hope the board are doing everything to be getting him here.

Maybe he could bring newly EQP Shields with him to add some punch in attack and defence (He isn't the big ball carrying 8 we are desperate for but he is a aggressive beast?
Granted would need to be this season so might cost £££££ but something needs to be done IMO.

It might be early doors but the forwards have been playing like this for 2/3 years now.

Yes please. We definitely need a forwards coach that'll stop the turgid lacklustre attack we have at present. Wasting money on our backline if we can't give them a platform.

Where are the signings that were supposed to be announced last week?

Any idea on the players?

[Scott11]

Anyone able to communicate directly with the club and tell them to send a private jet over for Plumtree?!

[JP14]

when does Nathan Hughes' contract expire at Wasps?

[TigerCam]

when does Nathan Hughes' contract expire at Wasps?

wishful thinking JP14. Even if it was possible , given the chaos at WR he would likely stiil give the Tigers a wide-berth?

[Leicestertinytiger]

Are any new signings going to be announced today?

Look at other clubs we are seriously lacking in the lock department.

[sapajo]

Are any new signings going to be

No one knows. Tigers will tell us only when they see fit.

[FrontRowUnionMember]

Is there any information that we should be expecting further signings, or is this just wishful thinking?

[Scott11]

MOC said in the Mercury we were looking at two plus theres a possible Manu replacement too now he's out for 12 weeks.

so who do we think these mystery signings are?

[Scott11]

Haven't heard a sausage sadly!

[Leicestertinytiger]

Surely a replacement for Slater and Fitzgerald must be coming in! A big no.4 and a leader in the pack!

[JP14]

Here's a big up and coming No8 that will be cheap I think. South Africa's Juarno Augustus was the 2017 World U20 top try scorer and possesses that gainline ability. He currently plays for the Western Province in currie cup
