The three quarters Center of the RCToulon should be released by his club in the next few hours and take the direction of Leicester where it expects a three-year contract. Little used by Mike Ford, the player chose to revive his career in England. At the age of 30, the player trained in Toulouse and passed through Perpignan, has not renounced his international career which is part of the 30 players selected in the elite list.
For digitally Act, Toulon hired as a medical joker Alessana Tuilagi. Samoan international, and older brother of Manu Tuilagi the Leicester Tigers player and currently injured that Mermoz suppléerait. The French is under contract to Toulon until next June but could not settle for a draw in England but sign for several seasons with the Tigers

Sounds sensible. Was rumoured to have been a target in the past few seasons. So, sacking Cockers has freed up enough cash to bring in a medical joker from his new club.

A 3½ year deal up to his 34th birthday - not too shabby! Let's hope he earns it...

Certainly needed for the team, and me after the last few weekends. Good signing and not just for a brief time. Here for a while, experienced, not a journeyman and still a top class player.
All in all, garbage result but a little bit of sunshine..which helps after I have just finished watching season two of the man in the high castle..what is that's all about???

A good swansong deal, I truly hope that his best days are not behind him because if they are he will be around a long time to remind us.strawclearer wrote:A 3½ year deal up to his 34th birthday - not too shabby! Let's hope he earns it...
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

Re: Maxime Mermoz (centre, Toulon) close to join Leicester
Medical joker - does that mean he gets injured in his first game and we don't see him for a season?
Seriously, think this is a good signing for this point in the season and really helps us in a department where we are thin on resources. Not sure he will will help the current Tigers "attitude" but hoping this is the start of an upturn in fortunes for the team.

He's still in the French squad so he's not past it. He's unlikely to be in the French 23 though so that's a benefit to us.sapajo wrote:A good swansong deal, I truly hope that his best days are not behind him because if they are he will be around a long time to remind us.strawclearer wrote:A 3½ year deal up to his 34th birthday - not too shabby!

Re: Maxime Mermoz (centre, Toulon) close to join Leicester
Either you or BBC Leicester have missed in the translation that it is Alesana Tuilagi that is classed as the "medical joker" ie injury replacement for Vincent Clerc. Merzot will come here hopefully injury free but is not registered for the Europe squad at Tigers so unavailable V Glasgow but could be great for the Anglo Welsh prospects of silverwareellis9 wrote:BBC Leicester have put on Twitter that he is a medical joker and will join with immediate effect but will begin a 3 year deal from the Summer.
Re: Maxime Mermoz (centre, Toulon) close to join Leicester
No. As I understand it, Alex Tuilagi has joined Toulon as a medical joker and Mermoz has joined Tigers as a medical joker but then staying for 3 years.
