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

[cheltexile]

And ‘New Zealand wing Telusa Veainu....’

He is from NZ and played for NZ age grade teams, so they are not that wide of the mark.

It would be a poor show for Telusa to be announcing Jordan's departure from Tigers. That is Jordan's business to announce or, by agreement, the club or indeed someone else; I cannot imagine Jordan asking someone else to tell the world.

It was a poor show to leak all the players leaving to the press, I think we are well beyond that now.

In case not seen, Jan McGinity responded directly to Alex Lowe's tweet of taufua also leaving the club, saying 'I wouldn't believe everything you read in the media!'

So the club are confident Jordan is staying - hopefully a confirmed squad list and details of extensions will be announced in the coming days as saints have done.

Saints are likely to face issues in the coming months as they have only signed their players on 12 month contracts with a 10% pay reduction.....awkward discussions to follow!

You could well be right. My overall feeling on the squad is relief that we now have clarity and whether or not JT goes it could have been far worse. Time to watch all the other clubs with interest..

I thought Andrea was impressive as a business leader last night. Hopefully an investor or 2was watching.

Well, if the reports on earlier threads are true then it seems that Mrs V at least is very about the situation, so who knows what some people may do under these circumstances in the heat of the moment. Time will tell I guess.

I wonder if it was a certain Mrs V who was in his ear about how nice it would be living in France.

Give those that want to be here a chance....

Couldn't possibly be. It's the club who are only interested in money, Mrs V has no interest in material things and only wants people to nice to her husband.

Absolutely. Move on with enthusiasm says a happy clapper.

More likely;

Heffernan
Dunbar
Homer

Don't know a backrow out of contract.

Sotutu is EQ though isn't he? Maybe England could help us out.

^^ Yep, this.

Look to the future now, let Borthwick and his new team do their stuff.

Was thinking Taufua.

By the sounds of it we might have a Borthwick, Murphy and McGinity interview coming up will be interesting.
Steve sounds like he has a plan already.

You'd hope so!

I am disappointed in the conduct of some of the players or their agents (family) but we should bear in mind the old saying never meet your hero's.
Modern media perhaps brings us too close so we can see the people behind the image, it is not always a pretty sight.
Being a great rugby player does not make you a nice person, a certain Mr Back was not admired as a person but he was and always will be a great of the game and that is all we should ask for!

Well obviously, I was thinking more to those who thought he wouldn't have a chance without those players.

[RagingBull]

I'm going to start a new thread once all this is officially done with, and the players are off the squad page.
