Re: Leicester Tigers 2016/17 Squad/Transfers/Contract thread
By the sounds of it MOC still wants to sign an 8, considering we have now signed Ryan and Kalamfoni, it seems highly likely we will be letting at least 2 of our current back rowers go.

More likely one, 2 at the most.TheRock wrote:By the sounds of it MOC still wants to sign an 8, considering we have now signed Ryan and Kalamfoni, it seems highly likely we will be letting at least 2 of our current back rowers go.
Personally i'm excited to see
6) Williams
7) Ryan
Together that is some heavy hitting flanks.

Anyone know how good he is?
And it sounds he desperately wants to come and out his body on the line for MOC
I know of a few other Irish players who improved from being at Leicester...

How's Ryan's lineout work? For me this suggests Crofty is retiring.
Re: Leicester Tigers 2016/17 Squad/Transfers/Contract thread
Or Fitz is going to be used more in the second row?
Re: Leicester Tigers 2016/17 Squad/Transfers/Contract thread
Hope Thacker is not pushed out...

Thacker will prob go back to Hooker for the time being, Also the position he likes most.Pellsey wrote:Hope Thacker is not pushed out...
Ryan is like the Irish Moody i guess, nothing fancy but puts his body on the line everytime.

But would Thacker make the match day 23? No in my opinionPellsey wrote:Hope Thacker is not pushed out...
With the new signings we have got to be looking at
1.Genge
2.Youngs
3.Cole
4.Fizgerald
5.Barrow
6.Williams
7.Ryan
8.Kalamafoni
Thacker wouldnt even make my bench. We need to start getting some weight and dominance in our pack and Tracker doesnt bring that sort of game.
Come on you tigers!

:censored: where are the quality 10 and 12 - at a minimum - we need?
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Nothing worse than people in the know who do not divulge RB..whats the point of having a rumours page if you can't discuss anything you know..RagingBull wrote:jgriffin wrote: where are the quality 10 and 12 - at a minimum - we need?

So - to revise - thinking of the back row, are we saying...strawclearer wrote:So, thinking of the back row, are we saying...
6 Williams, McCaffrey, Fenner
7 O'Connor, Evans, Thacker
8 Kalamafoni, Hamilton
...with Tuilagi and Mapapalangi possibly in the mix? and Tom Croft leaving?
Looks pretty impressive to me - particularly with Locky, Brendan and Luke all able to play across the piece.

Happy days clearing straw from the pitch before the Baa-Baas games! KBO

Wouldn't bet on all of them being here next year. It has been mentioned MOC is going to release two forwards, can't see it being from the front five.strawclearer wrote:So - to revise - thinking of the back row, are we saying...strawclearer wrote:So, thinking of the back row, are we saying...

Considering during his interviews MOC repeatedly spoke about winning more collisions and has also said that about Ryan today, the likes of Croft, McCaffery, BOC and Hamilton seem the possible casualties.

Re: Leicester Tigers 2016/17 Squad/Transfers/Contract thread
It looks very well stocked yes but lacking on top end quality...how many of those listed would get in our competitors Wasps, Exeter or Saracens first choice backrow? Struggling to think of any really...strawclearer wrote:So - to revise - thinking of the back row, are we saying...strawclearer wrote:So, thinking of the back row, are we saying...
