LEICESTER TIGERS 2018/19 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 5

[Wayne Richardson Fan Club]

Just watching the Chiefs Highlanders game.
Recruitment needed in midfield and back row we could do an awful lot worse than 2 Highlanders players Rob Thompson and Luke Whitelock, who I think once spent some time at Loughborough grammar

Rather impressive family the Whitelocks

I think I'm going to approach this season now as essentially a free hit and start judging from next season. That doesn't mean I want us to fall away but without a preseason fully in charge and only just able to recruit his own players I don't think it would be fair on GM to produce too much in the time he's had. Anyone else feel the same way?

Yes, most certainly. At the end of next season, we should have more insight on the matter.

I just hope the possible Manu situation will not get dragged out.

I just hope the possible Manu situation will not get dragged out.

I suspect it already has been.

It might already be resolved. We never know. As GM said this week, often deals are tied up far earlier than they are eventually announced.

[Richardfje]

Does anyone know if any big players who are actually out of contract for next year?

[Craig123]

Genge
Vienu

[Craig123]

Think May and Ford maybe also but not too sure

[Scott1]

Genge will go,not sure about the other 3.

[RagingBull]

i'm pretty sure Veainu is still in contract end of next season.

polota nau is.

[Richardfje]

And what big players around the world are out of contract who could still sign up this season?

[DeadlyDunc]

Genge will go,not sure about the other 3.

I thought Genge was still under contract too?

Either way why do you think he’ll leave?

[TTRITH]

i'm pretty sure Veainu is still in contract end of next season.

polota nau is.

Dan Cole, Matt Toomua, Telusa Veaniu, Mike Williams and Greg Bateman all re-signed, and announced on the same day, in the 17-18 season.

I'd have imagined that Cole and Veaniu would have been on 3 year deals. I'd suggest Bateman might be out of contract at the end of next season though.
