LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 3

[Mark62]

Social media seems pretty certain that May is returning to Gloucester. Hopefully just made up rumours with no truth.

Fairly sure that one has already been nipped in the bud elsewhere

Hadn't seen Marlon Yarde touted as coming to us but may have missed it - at least we would see more of him than JM

[RagingBull]

It still sounds promising.
When you offer someone a pay cut the longer it goes on the better usually.


On Yarde haven't watched too much of Sale what has he been like?
looking at his form in 15 games (Prem and Champions cup playing more than 15 minutes) he has scored 6 tries (Although 3 against us)

Sale don't seem to really want to sign England Internationals on the whole, Diamond doesn't see the value in them and really he is right about that, so wouldn't be surprised if they are going to try to offer less than us at the last minute as a yolo.
My guess it's Sale are going to re-sign Yarde and using May as a way to lower any wage increase Yarde is wanting maybe.

And there’s no reporting that negotiations are over either, which is possibly promising.

What kind of person would be even the slightest bit interested in Bath's team social being cut short?

Rugby Paper states that the deal to bring over South African lock Marvin Orie is off with the player opting for Japan rather than Welford Road...
Still could do with a partner for Lavanini for next season.

Do we know if the other Argentinian lock is still on his way

[JP14]

Apart from Strawclearer's inferences, no.

...and, having heard nothing for a while, he's getting nervous!

I highly rate Bath’s up-and-coming inside centre Max Ojomoh, worth a punt in exchange for a return to Bath for Eastmond (not that I don’t rate or like Eastmond at all) in my view.

Any relation to Steve?
