I suppose we could be doing Notts a favour if he's heading there but I think it's more likely a trial. He's based round the corner and we know we might need some cover at 8 and he would be cheap cover at that.GETHIN EXILE wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2019 1:38 pm As he plays for the army he is probably just training with our guys while they are in Aldershot. I wouldn't read anymore into it until there is an official announcement

Sam Grahamslaw confirmed to be joining a Scottish club as a stage three SRU academy player. Glasgow have announced their academy players for next season so seems likely to be linking up with Cockers at Edinburgh.
It's a shame he's left Tigers but I hope he fulfills his talent and plays for Scotland.

It makes sense. He'd fallen off the England age-group radar and with Scotland calling and his good performances for the U20s, he hadn't really got a choice but to move north of the border to further his chances.ABClub wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2019 5:18 pm Sam Grahamslaw confirmed to be joining a Scottish club as a stage three SRU academy player.

I have seen that Exeter back row James Freeman has been released, didn’t get too much game-time but seemed to play well for them in the AWC/PRC, Haskell-esq backrower, worth a punt or are we stocked if the Boladau signing materialises.

I would hope the club knew enough about Freeman he was at Loughborough Uni and played rugby for them so should have been given the once over at some point before joining Jersey and then Chiefs.
It will depend on how highly Geordie rates the development level flankers, if he thinks they are tough enough to fill in at senior level then I doubt we'll see any punts on late developers with championship experience ala Freeman but if he thinks we need a little extra cover I'd expect at least one to come in.

Whatever happened to the Smit rumours?
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD Part 1
Last thing I heard he was all but signed for Glasgow but Northampton had also thrown a late bid in

Jones first saw Marcus Smith after Japan trained in Brighton at the ‘15 World Cup.
