If Evans is off, Kwagga Smith anyone?

Why would Evans go to Quins for game time, if Quins sign Kwagga Smith?

I've only seen smith linked to Quins via RIL, everywhere else saying to the prem.

Sorry, can’t say who has confirmed it to me, but trust me Evans has signed for Quins.

Well then If I was in charge of Tigers I would sign up Reffell to a 5 year deal and look to bring in a top 7.
(And lock and 6 and 8......)

Gutted! Another skillful player gone. Hope Reffell and Gough step up. Smith is on the market then,both won't go to Quins. Let's hope we sign him!

Another skilful player who has barely played any rugby over the past 2 seasons due to injury and illness. I don’t understand how people say we will miss players who have barely appeared.
If he does go and Mr Partridge seems pretty certain, there must be some back rowers coming in with O’Connor and Williams rumoured to be off too

You answered your own question with BoC off. Evans was heir apparent imo

Guy Thompson has been our best 7 by a country mile imho.
At Quins, if he does go, there is Robshaw, Wallace, Clifford to compete with for the 7 shirt as Dumbrandt is becoming undroppable

Guy Thompson is not getting any younger though and should also be an option at 8 depending on opposition.

Robshaw, Wallace and Clifford all rumoured off.

Thompson was signed originally as a 7.
