Re: Leicester Tigers 2017/18 Squad/Transfers/Contract thread!
The only quote in the article is from Hansen:
"We have said publicly that we'd like him to play 10," Hansen said, after McKenzie was picked at first-five for the Maori clash with Lions. "Coops [Colin Cooper] has worked in very closely with us, he understand where we think Damian's long term future is."
Sounds like Hansen wouldn't be overly pleased to see him play 15 and understudy at Club level to the England 10.

Fred Tuilagi was at the aqua park in Rutland, so I don't think he's moving, also who has confirmed that Mapapalangi has been signed?
Formerly of Burbaaage (not Inkleh), now up north at uni

Just read an Australian post, from 4 days ago, saying his re-signing at the Rebels was 'imminent'!
I'll have a pint of Tiger and a packet of scratchings please!

Cheers,I heard he was going back to Japan so he's probably doing a Parling.

Will all posters get any idea of a crossover between the playing budget and other commercial transactions out of their mind. It has been stated on many occasions at boardroom level that commercial decisions such as the ne hotel and car park are completely separate from the budget set aside for team operations and that includes the acquirement of new players, For once the Board can be believed and you know me I am not a great fan of the current management set up, but I'm getting sick and tired of those posters who do not research topics properly.

I see our neighbours have kept Dylan as skipper (and given him a new contract) - http://www.northamptonsaints.co.uk/news ... at-saints/
Any indication about our skipper for next season? I recognise that, sadly, things with Tom are far from 'normal' but when do we normally announce - or have we already done so?

I'd expect Tom to carry on, the only other candidates IMO are YBY (a MOC favorite), Slater and possibly Barrow (He'd get my vote if it isn't Tom)strawclearer wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2017 3:36 pm I see our neighbours have kept Dylan as skipper (and given him a new contract) - http://www.northamptonsaints.co.uk/news ... at-saints/

I know Tom has expressed a desire to carry on, but obviously his family will take precedence. Interesting that we are supposedly interested in an American hooker, with Tom, Mcguigan and one assumes Thacker

Baumann is being described as a hooker/tighthead, however from what I've seen for the USA and Wellington, he plays predominantly at tighthead, so I wouldn't read too much into the hooker tag.

Apparently the DMAC deal is dead as well as another "top level winger" which feel through, this off season gamble looks like its really gonna come back to haunt us at this rate
Edit: Another source says the DMAC deal is still on but I wouldn't get my hopes up about him being in a Tigers shirt

Is Freddie Tuilagi adopted? Shocking for a Tuilagi!

OK I'll bite.
Which Freddie? What's he done? What have I missed?
