LEICESTER TIGERS 2018/19 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 4

[ellis9]

It isn’t happening.

Good! Why on Earth would we swap England's number one scrum half for Hougaard? Hougaard is very good but I'd prefer to have Youngs playing for us!

The question is, was there ever a possibility of it happening or has someone just made up a rumour?

This is the first of a three year contract for him at Worcester,so the cost of a buyout would’ve been ridiculous

Ehh depends everyone seems to have clauses these days.

Well the Tigers players today had no "Clauses!"
However there is only one Santa Clause but many impostors!

George Worth ----> Wasps as Le Roux replacement????? according to TRP

[Scott1]

Houghard for BY? Yes please!! Everyday and twice on a Sunday!!

[RagingBull]

Thinking out loud but Mata would be worth a Marquee spot.

George Worth ----> Wasps as Le Roux replacement????? according to TRP

If Worth was to leave I wouldn't be too upset, his greatest strength is his ability to play across the backs but I think we have better players coming through in the academy who cover those positions (Steward, Du Rant, Dunn), I'm also not sure he's a like for like replacement but maybe Wasps are having to stick to a tighter budget now

His offload to Johnstone yesterday was outrageous. Fantastic player and great fun to watch play.

I get the impression he is settled in Edinburgh after a tough transition with a young family to move over though.

Edinburgh fans all think he will leave, not on that much currently and other clubs will easily out bid them.

Not sure Dunn will be with us.

Where is Rob Miller, excellent player!

That would be a shame, are any of the other academy centres showing promise or is it just Du Rant

[Leicestertinytiger]

Would the likes of Worth and Evans really want to leave? Having Murphy in charge they will know opportunities will come, unlike in the past.

[RagingBull]

Speaking to a agent mate the other day and Ironically he says that the fans are starting to make it a bit harder for Tigers signing players to some extent.
I asked him surely that's the case for most, but apparently in terms of social media are support is that much bigger it's a lot more visible.

Interesting perspective on it.
Although £ and playing still the main factor little things can hurt it seems.
