LEICESTER TIGERS 2017/18 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 3!

[AngusMcCoatup]

Rugby inside line reporting that Betts has signed for Ealing Trailfinders for next season.

Yes this was advised at the recent Fans Forum as going to Ealing but a sad loss for Tigers as he will be a good Irish Prop of the future. Perhaps we can try to dual him as cover!

Harlequins U20 Winger Aspland Robinson being linked to us. Heard something last night us having signed a young winger.

A good signing although I'm not sure why we are looking for more Wingers, May, Holmes and Thompstone are quality and even if Brady leaves we still have Olowofela coming through the academy

[norfolkexpat]

Personally I would convert Thompstone to centre where he could be really useful as back up. Holmes is surely nailed in now, and Bakewell appears to have made a massive difference in one week. Hopefully to be continued...

More for the future I guess Thompstone is getting on, May is away.

Aspland Robinson’s is more 1st ready than Olowofela IMO.

May, Holmes, Olowofela
Thompstone, Malouf, SAR

Hadn't even realised that Thompstone is 30, and I guess it could also mean that Malouf might move in to 13

also add Telusa to that mix with Worth at 15 as another option

or Cockasinga the massive quick winger (don't think he's 20 yet) would be better additions. With Tait and Brady possibly off they'd fill out the squad nicely.

Cockanasiga rumoured to be off to Bath I think.

Shame. Good option to replace Banahan for Bath. Roko and Cocka is a wing combo with a lot of pace and power. Not sure they'll be able to cover for Watson's missed tackles at 15 mind.

Good for him and us great utility player to have as back up, i know his pace isn’t what it was. But got a great rugby brain was great on saturday as he has been most games hes played for us. Although how has this been revealed by the bbc before our website, hopefully waiting to reveal a few tomorrow

[Leicestertinytiger]

Good! By the sounds of things won’t be on loads of money. Has played very well this season and can cover 12, 13 and 15. Is a crucial player when we have injuries or internationals are away.

Hoping we see him move more into the 12 role as has impressed when played there. Good against Saracens.

That is a nice thought...Tait resigns, Denton, Spencer and Thompson...I wonder if there are any other treats in store??

[JP14]

I’d give anything if we got Edwin Maka but I’m beginning to think that some random guy try to spur a random rumour
