Indeed they have..... and their supporters are delighted about it and were teaching about his performances on the thread where they announced his new deal. Not wanting to dig over old ground, but I think he was massively under appreciated at Tigers

Only by those who thought TTTE was better for the squad.......Crane played for the team, not himself.

Nottingham 1995-2000

Ex Tiger Jono Kitto has signed for Worcester.

Good for him.
I liked him but it made sense to not keep him with White and Simmons coming through.

He seemed a thoroughly nice bloke on the two occasions I spoke with him

He is a good bloke, he always thanked the fans for supporting at away matches, it was not his fault that he was an unnecessary signing as we already had Youngs, Harrison, White & Simmons in his position. Good luck to him at his new club.

Problem with Kitto was that he was slower than Youngs sometimes and that’s saying something!

"Sounds like the Savea/Toulon experience is over. He's been savaged by Mourad Boudjellal. "I'm going to ask for a DNA test. I've told him he's been released and he's not welcome at Toulon. He's got a year left on his contract, he can do what he wants.""

Ouch

"I'm going to ask for a DNA test. It is not Savea that we recruited but "Savéapas". They had to change it on the plane. If I were him, I would apologize and I would go back home. When you get to this level of play, you have to apologize and leave"
