LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 2

[WildGoose]

So I've not checked in on this for a while and trying to catch up on about 20 pages all at once, but sounds like we're optimistic about Nadolo, Singleton and Moriarty?

I also saw TRF that Reinach and Youngs could just swap places, which seems...unlikely...? That said, Sunday wasn't his best game let's face it...

[loretta]

I agree. We've seen this numerous times.

Someone the welsh want playing in Wales? Holmes or, more likely, Reffell?

Speculation is a wonderful thing and passes the time over a pipe or two.... so a little deductive reasoning suggests that by eliminating the impossible whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.Thus,Holmes and Moriarty in tandem would represent a formidable force indeed ; now if we could get Watson back fit and firing and willing to join the fray and perhaps bring over Lestrade from Aviron Bayonnais we could have the makings of some lineup for next season, especially if the rumor of Moran helping out on the medical side the renewed interest in Jones comes to fruition.
The game is afoot...............

Remember though , there is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.

You'll need Tom Hudson to make the tea....

Reinach is going to Montpellier

I thought Reinach played very well on Sunday. ( not allowed to be negative on here)

Outstanding effort KK. Well done. What about actors too - Hardwick(e) played Watson to Jeremy Brett. Is there a Rathbone anywhere?

Ah, that makes more sense. Thanks!

[TomWeston]

Reinach is going to Montpellier

Reichenbach going to Montpellier?

He’s heading for a fall then!

Murphy on speculation linking Tigers with Welsh back rower Ross Moriarty:

"Certainly the back row is an area we are looking at. We’re having conversations across the world of rugby, I haven’t had any conversations with Ross and I’m not sure we could afford him even if we have."

Aye, Wales ONline speculating he is currently on £600k with |the Wales International bonus and advertising/image rights

[RagingBull]

Geordan Murphy says Brexit, and the impact on his squad, is a "huge concern" for the club.

Currently, South African and Pacific Island players are regarded as Kolpak players, so are seen as "non-foreign". Two "foreign players" can play at the same time in any Premiership team.

The ECB have reportedly advised county cricket teams that Kolpak players will count as foreign players after the UK leaves the EU at the end of the year.

Murphy: “The laws stand as they are for the guys that are in the country. When and if changes are made, we will be notified.

Murphy: "At the moment we are operating under the current rules.

"It is a concern. Brexit is a strange one because there is a lot of doubt about a lot of things, and people don’t have the answers.

"We want to carry on, be proactive when and where we can.

Ah Sale will like that then with so many SA players on long term contracts. Diamond to blow his top again!

Dragons signed him outwith the National Dual Contract set-up. The top players on NDCs are around the £350-375k mark and apparently the WRU don't want to break the pay structure for particular individuals. Similar to the NZRU there.

Dragons signed him themselves using significant private backing. Rumours are the same level of backing isn't there to offer him that contract again.

If Tigers are hunting a back row I'd love us to go after Ben Earl as a number 8.
