Barrow, Fitzgerald, Kitchener, Maksymiw, Mostert and Wells as our lock options wouldn't be too shabby.
Happy days clearing straw from the pitch before the Baa-Baas games! KBO

Wouldn’t be too shabby but also wouldn’t be overly great!
Look at Sarries, Itoje, Kruis, Isikwe, Skelton and Day, head and shoulders above our options. Same with Saints and Bath options at locks.
We could look to build around Barrow and Wells who have growth to improve, but Kitchener and Fitzgerald when fit need to up their games or wouldn’t be too fussed if they left!

Skelton and Day lol. One a useless lump who has probably got 40 minutes of rugby in him and is one of the worse carriers I've ever seen for a man of his size,the other a player just brought in to cover injuries. I wouldn't have either at WR but I'll give you the other 3

I would rate Mostert above most locks in the prem, behind Itoje, Kruis, Launchbury, Lawesbut that's about it the guy is relentless and extremely reliable think he played the most super rugby minutes last season.
I hope the club are in talks with these players as it is a sign that the forwards are being looked at.

Maybe he can just afford a better gaff these days and fancies some rental income for longer term retirement/financial planning reasons?!

Heard last night that Jono Kitto is back from loan at the Warriors, but is off back to New Zealand and not staying at Tigers. Pity. I felt his delivery from rucks and scrums was far quicker than any of the Tigers scrum halves, but plainly his face no longer fits.
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2017/18 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 2!!
Makes total sense for him to return to NZ but as to him being the quickest?????? Harrison for me is the quickest in the premiership. Not the best, but as far as getting the ball into the SO hands - quickest by far for meLatecomer wrote: ↑Wed Oct 18, 2017 12:38 pm Heard last night that Jono Kitto is back from loan at the Warriors, but is off back to New Zealand and not staying at Tigers.

Or maybe he's downsizing in anticipation of a medical discharge.
