LEICESTER TIGERS 2020/21 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD Part 2

[SthrnTiger]

Telegraph saying Manus future is uncertain. The fact no announcements have been made suggests at least some are off though that’s no surprise.

I wonder if say Veianu is off does that mean the club is willing to give Manu a bit more. I suspect not.

[RichieB]

How do you know? No official announcement as far as I can see.

[RagingBull]

Lavanini signed according to Edgerton.

Ok now I can relax.

Or they might be waiting to announce them tomorrow with the kit?

Good point. Let’s hope so!

Lavanini signed according to Edgerton.

Agreed, really happy with that one. Him and Genge can be bedrocks in the pack. Hoping Liebenberg and Taufua also prioritised.

More to be announced after 7.....

[Tiglon]

Taufua is a big one for me. Veainu would be greatly missed as well.

I love watching Manu play but how many times in the last few years has he been the difference between us winning or losing? Maybe it's time to rip that plaster off and move on anyway. For him too, perhaps it's time to take the opportunity to grab a massive paycheck in a warmer climate.

[Scott1]

Good news so far guys!

I would love for Taufua to stay but I feel Reffell would do a great job covering him should he go.
Losing Taufua and Liebenberg (If he was one of those who hasn't signed) would be massive to cover even with Lewis and Reffell.


Veainu Steward can cover as a 15 BUT was wanting him to cover wing.
Veainu commenting on Genge's tweet now with the news that Genge is staying is hopefully a good sign.

100%

[Tiglon]

I think you're right RagingBull, it's almost more important how many leave than exactly who leaves. Reffell playing with Liebenberg/Taufua doesn't worry me, but Reffell and Lewis at 6 and 7 leaves them both under a lot of pressure.

We'll see what happens!

Agree 100% regarding Taufua. Of Brink, Liebenberg and Taufua I would be disappointed if more than 1 went, but would be doubly disappointed if that 1 was JT.

New zealand missed a trick when Kano retired not giving him a run in the 6 shirt

[RagingBull]

George Ford will be staying at Leicester Tigers for at least the next two years, and i (The news company not the pronoun) understands the England fly-half hopes to remain at Welford Road for the rest of his international career

[Scott1]

Lavinini definite?
