LEICESTER TIGERS 2017/18 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 2!!

[Rugbyflanker]

Brilliant VOTC! Imagine how good L + L would be playing together week in week out? Id already say they are the worlds second best pairing behind Retallick and Whitelock.

"Dear Agent

I'm 28; an England & Lions lock with my very best years just ahead of me. My East Midlands club side are struggling and, much as I love them, the future looks bleak. I'm married with 4 kids and I'd rather not move house if possible.

Do you know if any local club sides might be interested in me for, say, the next 3 years? Ideally, they'll be looking for a good line-out operator who's a bit of an enforcer!"

Dear Rugby Player

There is a club who have just moved to Coventry who might be interested. They do have a similar type of player on their books with whom I suspect you may have played internationally and whose omission from the last Lions tour was rather puzzling. That club might just be interested in having the 2 of you playing together. Given some of the signings they have made previously I would suspect that money would not prove a difficulty. One adjustment you would have to make is to get used to challenging for trophies - something your current club and their other near neighbours seem to have forgotten how to do.

Hah! Fell into my trap! You win the Bah-Humbug Award!

[...and I really, really hope you're wrong... ]

Sorry won't be able to make the awards dinner. Perhaps you could collect on my behalf.

I hope I'm wrong too. It's probably been covered elsewhere but I can't be bothered to trawl through. Is Lawes actually out of contract at the end of the season?

What's a contract?

Fair point.

I read this post without looking at the author. Do you realise how much this sounds like Roly? Although a bit "tame"

Out of me, VotC and Roly - a number of us may take the comparison as a compliment!

My reply to SC's post was meant to be tongue in cheek. I think I lack the vituperation of Roly.

[strawclearer]

I want us to sign someone with the same body shape as Dean Richards.

That's it.

Cordero is not in the Jaguares squad this season.

Cordero is not in the Jaguares squad this season.

A potential upcoming Magic Monday with Gigena, Cordero, Spencer, Mafi and Thompson?

Sounds good to me

[JP14]

I'm not sure about Mafi

Or Popcorn Thursday?

[kpj tiger]

Just a thought but if more Argentine players are wanting out of the Jaguares then why not try to get Petti or Levanini, they are both young and would add considerable ballast to the 2nd row

[sapajo]

I would love it if we could get Matera back at Welford Rd.
