LEICESTER TIGERS 2020/21 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD EPISODE VI: The Return of the Burns

[TigerMac3]

Eagerly awaiting who this back rowers going to be!

Given Oli Bryant was promoted as 10 would I be right in saying that Javiah Pohe was the last out and out centre to get promoted from the academy to dev squad?

What about the brothers we had not long ago,one was a centre right? I'm thinking of Charlie Thacker lol

[RagingBull]

7 years ago was when Charlie was promoted I think

Thanks

So

McPhillips -> Burns - Upgrade
Henry -> Hegarty - Upgrade
Bonilla -> Socino - Not sure on this one but will probably prove more useful just in terms of versatility

[TigerFeetSteve]

Who is next?! 🤪

Gonna say prop next

So

McPhillips -> Burns - Upgrade
Henry -> Hegarty - Upgrade
Bonilla -> Socino - Not sure on this one but will probably prove more useful just in terms of versatility

I think Socino is a upgrade, knows european rugby well and more versatile

Completely overlooked Charlie. Thanks!

It was great seeing Charlie get a run of starts with Nottingham this season. He'd played no high level rugby since leaving Tigers in 2017/18.

[Scott1]

So many options at 10 and 15 now,keeps Muri on the wing where he’s better for me.

[MCC1964]

So what came first: Burns, Hegarty, Soccino signings or McP and Henry leaving?

I don't think he's not as good of a out and out 10 as Bonilla but your probably right in terms of overall versatility and the fact he should actually be able to play unlike Bonilla

Horse before the cart?

[RagingBull]

Feels like good money ball signings.
