Totally agree. I really don't think we need Mafi now that we have acquired some serious forward talent for next season. The money would be much better spent on a utility back.

I saw Marika Vunibaka play
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2017/18 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 3!
Fully agree. I think a past his best Mafi isn’t what we should be spending the remaining cap on. A centre - Johnny Williams would be ideal - or utility back my preference! Either way would like to get the Mafi situation cleared up!
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2017/18 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 3!
Tom Stephenson would be my choice

Stephenson is a great shout. Can cover 12 and 13 and has massive potential. Ages ago was the biggest centre prospect in the English age groups.

Tbh I’m a little lost with who we will and won’t have next season in the backs.
I know Aspland Robinson has been announced as signed and I think we will start to see more of Worth and Olofewa but have we any ideas on may not be here.
I know Malouf has been mentioned, but what about, Brady, Pakalani etc.

Brady is 100% going from what I gather. Malouf no one is sure about although is rumoured to be going back to Aussie 7s. Neither are a massive loss to be honest. May, Holmes and Thompstone are all better.

Malouf is 100% off.
Stephenson good player but has a injury record that is up there with Manu and Owen.

I'm a bit surprised that they haven't looked more at Simmonds at centre.

I would have liked to see more of Pakalani, what I have seen I have been impressed with.Mark62 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 24, 2018 8:50 am Tbh I’m a little lost with who we will and won’t have next season in the backs.

It’s a shame he suffered a serious knee injury, is he capable of playing outside centre

No chance of nicking Ringrose from Leinster I suppose?
I'm not cynical just experienced
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2017/18 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 3!
Why would Ringrose leave Leinster for Leicester

I think there should be a new sticky for players people would like to see at Tigers but haven’t got a snowballs chance in hell go getting.
Same for who people hope to see in their match day squads and what it will actually be.

None.
However, Gerbrandt Grobler is out of contract with Munster (allegedly). Would we be interested in a 19 stone mobile enforcer as talented as he, well normally yes, given before his one year stints at Racing and Munster he served a two year drugs ban?
