LEICESTER TIGERS 2021/22 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACTS: Aled Walters and the Philosopher's Stone

[TigerFeetSteve]

We are reaching the stage in the season where despite the clubs and Borthwicks best attempts leaks/reports will start appearing from a number of different sources

That point of the season also means that generally the announcements about them are coming sooner rather than later

[TigerFeetSteve]

The Telegraph are reporting we have signed Watson. Supposedly only a short term deal for next season, though the article is behind a paywall.

Article minus the paywall

I really rate Watson, but he’s a completely different player to Nadolo. Agree with Murphy that we always play better with a bigger winger. Was hoping Nadolo would stay until we could bring in Big Joe.

Don’t disagree with you but it’s interesting that the supposed entertaining try scoring teams, Saints, Quins, Irish, Wasps, don’t have huge wingers, rather relying on pace and footwork

Like Watson but boy, he hasn’t played much in the last two seasons due to injury so hope Ashton stays.

Don’t want to lose Nadolo and Ashton

Hence I would imagine the 1 year contract

It appears Holmes didn't get a suitable offer im the Prem and is off to Ealing

[RagingBull]

Losing his EQP status was big imo look how many teams have EQP starting wingers.

I imagine it’s a one year deal to try and get to the World Cup and back into England Reckoning

With a plan to move abroad if he’s nowhere near

If SB gets the job in 12 months then with a good attitude he could be back in the reckoning

I’m hoping this makes sense financially for us as well as a short term deal maybe reduces our risk but it doesn’t work for continuity…

Always liked him - solid in the scum and good in the loose but still is not a Gengie (YET)

Looks like the Munster fan who popped on here a while back during the last 16 was right.

[RagingBull]

So far looking at, at least
Cronin
Cracknell
Gopperth
Cokanasiga
Watson
