Charlie Ewels would be a massive signing for anyone. Thought he was impressive in the short time he was on yesterday. Saw somewhere 7 tackes in 7 minutes? Surely Bath won’t let him leave...

For once the English bench without exception, well maybe Ford he wasn’t on for long, all made telling contributions. Finishers as Jones likes to call them

In other coverage he says he wants his family to experience "other cultures" so I'd say England will not be his destination as it'd be too similar.sam16111986 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 02, 2018 9:36 pm34 next October. Two years in Japan I presume. European seasons would be harsh on him and it's not like he hasn't had injury problems.

Andy Goode has linked us with Charlie Ewels, Fitzgerald’s replacement?

Goode’s usually on the money but I think he just said that Ewels was linked not that it is happening.RagingBull wrote: ↑Fri Nov 09, 2018 10:25 amSuspect Andy is just pinching Fissler's tweet.
Would be an excellent replacement but he is viewed as Bath's next captain.

I suspect Ewels agent is doing the rounds and making Bath sweat. If Bath don't sort the contract soon Ewels will be talking to other clubs and it's not secret we will be looking for second row quality.JP14 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 09, 2018 5:53 pmGoode’s usually on the money but I think he just said that Ewels was linked not that it is happening.RagingBull wrote: ↑Fri Nov 09, 2018 10:25 amSuspect Andy is just pinching Fissler's tweet.

Ewels signs a new deal for Bath.

Tigers need to go after Cordero IMO.
Covers 15/wing similar player to Veainu and has plenty of pace to go with his footwork and will be available all season.

We need go after him AGAIN, after we messed it up the first time! Would be a good signing and replacement for the aging Thompstone.RagingBull wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 11:35 am Tigers need to go after Cordero IMO.

While I partially agree Thompstone looked particularly slow last night, with more creative players around him, his route one approach can work if required, similar to what Banahan gives Glos.Leicestertinytiger wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 11:46 amWe need go after him AGAIN, after we messed it up the first time!

For goodness sake , Thompstone is nowhere near Banahan's class .
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2018/19 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 3
Living in Gloucester and having watched them regularly, I agree with you, but in reality he has not been great this year at times, apart from when Gloucesters backline fires and they use him as a different option. This is my point about Thompstone, if you look for creativity or pace from him, that won’t happen, but with that around him, he offers something else.
