Yes this was advised at the recent Fans Forum as going to Ealing but a sad loss for Tigers as he will be a good Irish Prop of the future. Perhaps we can try to dual him as cover!longlivethecrumbie wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2018 6:15 pm Rugby inside line reporting that Betts has signed for Ealing Trailfinders for next season.

Harlequins U20 Winger Aspland Robinson being linked to us. Heard something last night us having signed a young winger.
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2017/18 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 3!
A good signing although I'm not sure why we are looking for more Wingers, May, Holmes and Thompstone are quality and even if Brady leaves we still have Olowofela coming through the academyRagingBull wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2018 8:30 am Harlequins U20 Winger Aspland Robinson being linked to us.

Personally I would convert Thompstone to centre where he could be really useful as back up. Holmes is surely nailed in now, and Bakewell appears to have made a massive difference in one week. Hopefully to be continued...

More for the future I guess Thompstone is getting on, May is away.kpj tiger wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2018 11:14 amA good signing although I'm not sure why we are looking for more Wingers, May, Holmes and Thompstone are quality and even if Brady leaves we still have Olowofela coming through the academyRagingBull wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2018 8:30 am Harlequins U20 Winger Aspland Robinson being linked to us.

Aspland Robinson’s is more 1st ready than Olowofela IMO.
May, Holmes, Olowofela
Thompstone, Malouf, SAR

Hadn't even realised that Thompstone is 30, and I guess it could also mean that Malouf might move in to 13RagingBull wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2018 11:39 amMore for the future I guess Thompstone is getting on, May is away.kpj tiger wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2018 11:14 amA good signing although I'm not sure why we are looking for more Wingers, May, Holmes and Thompstone are quality and even if Brady leaves we still have Olowofela coming through the academyRagingBull wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2018 8:30 am Harlequins U20 Winger Aspland Robinson being linked to us.

also add Telusa to that mix with Worth at 15 as another optionRagingBull wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2018 11:39 amMore for the future I guess Thompstone is getting on, May is away.kpj tiger wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2018 11:14 amA good signing although I'm not sure why we are looking for more Wingers, May, Holmes and Thompstone are quality and even if Brady leaves we still have Olowofela coming through the academyRagingBull wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2018 8:30 am Harlequins U20 Winger Aspland Robinson being linked to us.

Shame. Good option to replace Banahan for Bath. Roko and Cocka is a wing combo with a lot of pace and power. Not sure they'll be able to cover for Watson's missed tackles at 15 mind.WhitecapTiger wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2018 6:06 pmCockanasiga rumoured to be off to Bath I think.sam16111986 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 25, 2018 5:51 pmor Cockasinga the massive quick winger (don't think he's 20 yet) would be better additions. With Tait and Brady possibly off they'd fill out the squad nicely.

Good! By the sounds of things won’t be on loads of money. Has played very well this season and can cover 12, 13 and 15. Is a crucial player when we have injuries or internationals are away.
Hoping we see him move more into the 12 role as has impressed when played there. Good against Saracens.

I’d give anything if we got Edwin Maka but I’m beginning to think that some random guy try to spur a random rumour
