LEICESTER TIGERS 2017/18 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 2!!

[Leicestertinytiger]

Will Spencer has been named as a player not available for England’s squad on the RFU website so therefore it looks like he is on their radar.

Is he injured then?

[TTRITH]

What side does Gigena play? Loose or Tighthead? If Gigena is a tight head it could be a factor as to why Betts is leaving.

Loosehead

An Argentinian loose head.

I've not seen him play, but I do hope it's not just a case of hoping lightning striking in the same place twice... they will never be another like our underrated Marcos.

Underrated? He was often mentioned as one of the world's best, at times (in the eyes of some rugby commentators) the best.

Exactly.

Underrated.

So Facundo Gigena is confirmed finally and Youngs is staying.

Hardly inspiring. Nothing that those who read these forums didn’t know already. Obviously Cordero and Mafi haven’t happened for whatever reason.

Fingers crossed that Spencer is still on the cards.

Mafi still might happen,

Mafi still might happen,

Which Mafi, Steve or Amanaki

[Tigerbeat]

Argentina international prop Facundo Gigena has started work at Leicester Tigers after agreeing a contract with the Aviva Premiership club.

The 23-year-old Gigena has joined his new club colleagues at their Oval Park training base.

[Tigris]

Planet Rugby have Nathan Earle to Harlequins (with quotes from him on the move)
Maybe their replacement for Yarde?
Maybe Cordero still on the market afterall?

Talk is Exeter may now be in for cordero.

let’s just say if we sign this Tongan Colossus

Rather skeptical about this. Lots of false info flying around this site lately, Barrow, MOC etc. The unsubstantiated snippet came from someone who had never posted before, made one more post alluding to needing another back-row and then I've noticed nothing from them since.

In response to this, I replied saying "Maybe it's the Russians spreading Fake News!" To mildly amuse myself (if no-one else), I wrote this line in Russian!

It's been removed.....expunged.....censored - and I'm left wondering why.

And I replied, in Russian (with English translation) asking for your post in English. Also expunged. Maybe the Russians don't like being accused of fake news and gave hacked the Tigers site

I'd rather it was the Russians - given that the alternative is arbitrary censorship on unexplained grounds by our own mods!
