LEICESTER TIGERS 2018/19 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 6

[Mark62]

Crusaders have 3 decent hookers, Taylor,, Furnell, and a young bull of a Maori.
Maybe they could spare one of those

[Dangerous4]

That list looks pretty impressive to me. Quality and aggression within it. Looking forward to seeing the confirmed list.

According to Nik Simon at Mail Online, Calum Green, Tomas Lavanini, Hanro Liebenberg, Nephi Leatigaga, Jaco Taute, Andy Forsyth, Jaco Taute, EW Viljoen and Noel Reid could all be playing at Welford Road next season.

And reserve scrum-half Sam Harrison is tipped to be leaving the club at Christmas to move to Australia

With the greatest respect DeadlyDunc you might find things a little easier if you read 2 or 3 pages of posts before you post. What you have put is already being discussed

If it’s true that Shazam is off then good luck to him, we’ve got a lot of quality at scrum half but I’ll still be sad to see him leave.

I thought he'd mentioned in an interview he'd been working on his house in Hinckley? Sounded very much settled. Having said that if a chance came up to play in Super rugby down under came up that would be hard to turn down. With his level of commitment he'll be a fan favourite there in no time.

Wouldn't have to move.
Would imagine he would live in Hinckley in the offseason and then rent a place in Aus during the Super rugby season if it happened.

Would be a pretty nice setup really. Aus would suit his lifestyle.

Isn’t Harrison an avid surfer too? Could explain the appeal of Oz.

Bit of a guessing game on the hooker front, but I wouldn’t mind Coleman from Highlanders. Fringe All Black, strong leader too.
That’s another thing about Liebenberg, captain at age grade and also for the Bulls. Impressive for someone so relatively young.

That is two, very exciting packs available next season.

15. Jonah Holmes

13. EW Viljoen
12. Tom Hardwick

10. Noel Reid
9. Ben White

That second string back line not overly exciting but very solid. With Ronnie Du Randt and Freddie Steward on their way up probably exactly what we need.

[Jimmy Skitz]

is Brendon O'Connor confirmed as leaving then?

[JP14]

Tolu Latu?

Shout!

[Mark62]

is Brendon O'Connor confirmed as leaving then?

Chatter is he is off to Japan. Nothing confirmed yet though as far as I’m aware

Obviously a class player when fit. Made a big difference when he came on against Newcastle. But lacks fitness and is very injury prone.

Not sure if you missed out Eastmond on purpose or not but I see him working in-between the two backlines probably mostly slotting in for Manu and Jaco moving in to 13 when Internationals are on
