I hadn't head the Fred leaving rumour, shame if he does, there's enough about him to suggest there might be a bit of Henry in there somewhere trying to get out. I really miss the days of being able to field multiple Tuilagis :smt022 .

I'm confused. I thought the discussion was re Fitzgerald leaving.

So assuming Coghlan and Liebenberg join as expected, are we expecting any further back row arrivals?
Will Thompson and Reffell be the only 7’s in the squad? Will Denton carry on playing? Will Tuilagi and Mapapalangi stay on as projects?

Chewbacca is not the only one confused!
Who are ~ Will Thompson, Will Denton and Will Tuilagi??? :smt017
I thought the only "Wills" we had were Will Evans, Will Spencer and possibly the Will Tosurvive! :smt002

he's the new academy head coach so he will have a far bigger effect on Tigers future in the role than he would have as back up squad player

Was Smith’s involvement with the academy this last year part of a planned handover perhaps?

Andy Forsyth has signed for Coventry.

With Smithy retiring I expect that means another centre is incoming on top of EW Viljeon.

Alternatively, a fullback could be signed freeing up Worth to cover centre.
