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

[chewbacca]

The re-signing of top quality potential talent is great business by the Club.These are the players who want to play their part for us and , as I've so often remarked, want to be here.First team regulars , matchday 23 or reserves - here is where they are giving it a go.Applaud them .

Nothing like watching your young talent progress to playing in the firsts.

Sam Lockwood would be more than capable replacement for Bateman without perhaps costing as much as his Falcons team-mate Mulipola.

Lockwoods scrummaging was not premiership standard, I don’t see how a year in the championship would have improved that.

Don’t forget who is Mulipolas agent

We have been speaking to Nick Abendanon according to TRP

Neither arguably was Bateman's, it was just a suggestion...

Oo let me guess, does it happen to be a certain someone's brother?

TV confirmed to Stade by the Parisians themselves.

Interesting to see he has now already been taken off the Tigers squad page, so Leicester are quick on the draw there, but the other five players still remain on the page, for now.

[GB72]

Whilst sad to see TV go, glad it has been sorted out quickly so as the club can work on any replacement. With the rest, we are in a bit of a limbo until they are off the wage bill I guess.

On a short term deal I think this could be a good bit of business. Up until the break he was still playing well, perhaps not as on fire as a year or so ago but still solid

Well brother but yes.

Harry Wells extends his contract with the club - important re-signing. Future captain material imo.

[Leicestertinytiger]

Guessing Wells, Hardwick, Heyes and Lewis today then......

[TigerTom15]

Am I right in thinking Taufua was given an extra week to sign a new contract? If so, 5pm today would be the deadline for him.

[FrontRowUnionMember]

If Manu does indeed recommit, then I see no issue with Freddie being Logo’s agent.
Given the the current climate, anyone not already in contract is going to have to temper their wage expectations, 75% of something is better than 100% of nothing.
Logo, at 33 years of age, may see some security at Tigers as being more beneficial than having to relocate again.

[RagingBull]

He’s not even Logo’s agent.

I agree he's a standout captain option but I'm not sure he's likely to be starting much with Lavanini and Evener (Unless Evener turns out to be a dud)

There will always be injuries and squad rotation. Given that he can cover lock and blindside I imagine he’ll get a big chunk of gametime.

Gigena also extends his stay, massively underrated and a quality scrummager.
