He could just be a friend of Taufua?

Potentially. Both played with each other at Canterbury.
Could also be in Leicester to experience the beauty that is Leicester City during the Christmas period
Another case of time will tell, but I can see why people connect the dots with Holmes injury.

Could be an extended stay in the U.K as he played for Fiji in the Baabaas game. That was at Twickenham, right?

He did although over a month is a long extended stay.
According to the mail Ford contract will be announced next week, so could see then.

Rugby Paper saying Borthwick has to serve a SIX month period. RFU want compensation, and it doesn't sound like it's going to be solve soon.
Also Saracens want Jonny May to replace Liam Williams.

Wonder what people think of Will Spencer? Was impressed by Wells when he came yesterday so maybe we’ll let Spencer go for Matías Alemanno. Spencer seems to struggle with putting a string of games together.

Same as Mike Williams both great in a Worcester shirt before we signed them but have not reproduced that form in a Tigers shirt.Leicestertinytiger wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2019 3:02 pm Wonder what people think of Will Spencer?

Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

I thought Spencer was really good yesterday. Gave us a physical edge in the tight encounters we lacked when he went off. Wells made a good impact but we certainly started losing the forward battle after he left the field. Not all down to Spencer obviously but that combination of him and Lavanini looked good.Leicestertinytiger wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2019 3:02 pm Wonder what people think of Will Spencer?

As you say the staying fit bit has really hampered his ability to make a big impression here and may well limit his earning capabilities for his next contract unless he can get a good run of games together.

Well what happened with Gustard? The RFU can get a sack of coal for all I care.

Also, Hatley to Barf seems to have been relatively uncomplicated.

I see they’re making efforts to cut their salary bill then....

In my defence, I was left unsupervised….

Gustard was out of contract, and Hatley was always going back to Bath.MurphysLaw wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2019 8:25 pmAlso, Hatley to Barf seems to have been relatively uncomplicated.
We have been linked with Borthwick since what, before the RWC? The fact we've still not agreed his departure with the RFU, and that he still has not agreed terms (otherwise he would have handed his notice in) could make a cynical person think we aren't all that serious about bringing him in, and that he isn't all that set on joining us.

Will Kelleher of the Daily Mail reporting Genge to sign new 2 year extension, with relegation release clause. To be announced immenently. Thumbs up all round. Kelleher usually pretty reliable
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 2
Happy with this but not with relegation get out clause as would want players to show commitment to get us straight back up if we did go down
