That type of clearance is far too old school for a 24 year old. He wraps the other arm and drops contact height by six inches and it's a brilliant clear out. Perhaps seen as a rough diamond that we'll polish up. He certainly looks powerful enough just needs to channel it better.

[RagingBull]

I believe it's done.

On the cards not really a worry for me.
People called Lavanini a thug.
People call Genge a thug.

It's the type of player Cockers would like and we have been missing a pack Cockers would like.

Between Genge, OTY, Lavanini and Weise we would certainly have enough "enforcers", From the way a few of the coaching team have spoken they seem to see Enever in that enforcer mould too

Definitely, aggression, if properly channelled, can be a massive bonus for the side.

Dan Cole has never shied away from getting stuck in either. We've all said the pack is too nice and we want more grit and power up front. Occasionally that comes with a card.

So I thought yesterday, we need another prop, then another 6/8 and a 12 would be ‘nice to have’.
Well, the 6/8 looks on the cards, what are the chances of a prop and centre.

[TigersUltra]

Number 8 is perfect, he looks a mean ball carrier. Huw Jones rumour comes true, Montoya on the way and then a prop too maybe? We’ve done some serious business and actually managed to create some proper depth. Plus most won’t be gone when the six nations hit. Much better squad dynamic than before. I adore Manu, but puts into perspective the cash we can spread with his money and the others obviously.

[POSTIGER]

Quite happy to see us sign a thug to be perfectly honest. Very happy with the signing of Wiese if true.

As others have already said, we've missed that bit of devil in the last couple of years.

[kk20gb30]

Jasper Wiese would make a good addition ...aggression and a desire to win should be our minimum requirements throughout the team...

[TigerFeetSteve]

With the tease that we may not be done for the week, and a suggestion a few days ago that Montoya would be announced in a few days, and we were the ones rumouredwith him. Wiese supposedly having signed, should I get some popcorn ready this morning??

[RagingBull]

I thought the hint was more no more this week

[JP14]

Yeah okay he’s a loose cannon, but so was Gengey, Manu, Lavanini, Tom Youngs also can get pretty rifled when you get under his skin too. Point is it can be toned down, or channelled to something more legal.

Could be an exciting addition if true, but again still concerned at the amount of players leaving South Africa, almost like a second Great Trek.

[Pearce9]

Looks like the Cheetahs have confirmed Wiese http://www.fscheetahs.co.za/news/toyot ... 0-20200722

Someone help me out if the link doesn’t work.

[TigerFeetSteve]

I thought the hint was more no more this week

Well after Bondi tweeted that's it feet up for the rest of the week the club tweeted back saying

"Hmmm don't think so. Be at work on time tommorow.

We are not done yet."

That to my mind hints about more signings coming soon... though could be teasing him that there's more to his job than just announcing signings
