LEICESTER TIGERS 2018/19 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 1

[RagingBull]

The prop we have signed can genuinely scrum both sides.

The prop we have signed can genuinely scrum both sides.

So out of curiosity, how many more players have we recruited that have yet to be announced?
And how many players/positions do you know, or believe, that we are still trying to recruit for?

I have asked around and apparently we’re signing a prop that’s it, looks like club is putting a big input on the likes of Worth and Olowofela and Wells that’s it. Also, looks as though the Mafi deal is off folks.

You've asked around? Who?

[JP14]

It may not be reliable but I went to the Breakdown & Defence masterclass and asked Brett Deacon in a Q/A, he might be throwing us off the scent but I expect just one more signing and then probably a couple of promotions.

Pretty similar to what I have heard.

Not saying we won't be signing anymore just more a case of if the right person becomes available for the right price like May in the pre-season.

Pretty sure Mike Williams is staying put, which means the Mafi deal is dead. How? I met him yesterday where I work

[RagingBull]

Mafi scores the try that wins Castres the Top 14....

Interesting that in the rugby paper it sounds like Olowofela prefers 15.

I’ve always thought he’s best playing in the back 3. With Worth being more suited to the centres, they seem to compliment each other in the squad.

[chewbacca]

Had the pleasure of meeting Jordan a couple of weeks ago and indeed he said he prefers playing at 15. Anywhere in the back 3 looks good to me, serious gas and a step to match. Class player and a very agreeable young man.

Interesting that in the rugby paper it sounds like Olowofela prefers 15.

Given a little more development he could be the long term successor to TV. A few years on the wing to learn and adapt to the AP and Euro level and then as TV is hitting 30 Jordan will be starting to hit his prime. Needs to improve under the high ball but I'm sure Geordie will be working on that with him.

[kpj tiger]

Apparently at a recent Bedford Blues AGM it was mentioned that a Tigers player will be going on season long loan to them for next season, any ideas who?

[JP14]

Joe Ford?

[fentiger]

Joe Ford?

We live in hope

[Rugbyflanker]

I'll carry him there myself,how far is it?
