If he's definitely leaving - which he indicated himself after our season ended - I'm surprised we've heard no announcement about Luke Hamilton's next employer. Our website says:
"Leicester Tigers back-rower Luke Hamilton will make his first start for Scotland when they take on USA in Houston on Sunday."
Have I missed something?
Nope just hasn’t found a club willing to met his wage.
I suspect Glasgow are keen but are still negotiating.

Also Tigers marketing dept like to have their cake and eat it during the summer. When announcing players taking part in international matches, they include any player who has signed for us for next season and any player who played for us "last" season (even if they are leaving).

Left Wasps at the end of the season?
Yep.
Kyle Eastmond (centre), Paul Doran Jones (prop), Matt Symons (lock) and Brendan Macken (centre) will all depart the Premiership semi-finalists at the conclusion of their current campaign.

Would still like tigers to take a chance on Eastmond, him and Ford where unplayable at times at Bath. But I’d imagine between his wage demands, attitude and injury record of late it doesn’t really make sense as he’d be 2nd choice behind Toomua.
Anyway I don’t really know much about Mackenzie but hopefully between him, Owen, Tait, Smith, Hardwick and Worth we’ll have abit more depth this year.

Thought Macken was Bristol bound - don't know enough about him to form an opinion tbh!
Brendan Macken Centre was a Irish U20 player so may be a good asset but I still want to see Gareth Owen perform to the full. So Michele Rizzo has gone to Petrarca then.
I find the lack of movement charts rather low this year but at least Wiki has one, with lots of big names still not relocated as many teams are downsizing by the looks of it, either by numbers or playing potential. I feel Tigers have enough potentials in the tank, possibly a bit light in the experienced props.
