Depends.
We need to be signing two really good centres IMO even if Manu stays.
12. ______, Eastmond,
13. Manu, ________,
Jones was playing 12 in the currie cup before Scotland though.

I wouldn't disagree keeping him for the other reasons but I really don't see giving thanks to the crowd be a deal breaker.
It's nice that someone cares of course but I'm sure the real crowd pleaser would be a Prem winning standard team.

Jones played a lot at 12 when he was in SA. Seems to have moved to outside for Scotland but looks like he can more than adequately play both centre spots. Quality player.

Apparently Cordero is almost 100% leaving Chiefs at the end of the season. We were linked with him in the past and had been great in the premiership. Surely we can’t let him go for a second time!

So Huw Jones is apparently signed and sealed and will be with us next season.
Although things can change.

Huw Jones to Leicester?

RugbyPass understands that Jones, who is coming to end of his contract with the Warriors, is now in ‘advanced talks’ with Leicester Tigers.
Tigers are looking for a top class centre as they prepare to lose Wallaby international Matt Tooumua.

Surely this means Manu is off?
With the World Cup Manu surely isn't going to France until after then?
After that he has Toulon or Racing written all over him in my opinion.

I'm fairly confident in my scottish friend who told me, but I have been confident before and got it wrong.

Sounds promising.

Interesting one, would most people take Jones if it meant losing Manu? I for one personally would. Jones is one of the best centres in Europe, something Manu hasn’t been for a long time!
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2018/19 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 3
Jones is a really class act, trouble is, we require a couple more centres to go with Eastmond.
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2018/19 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 3
Maybe a strong bargaining chip in Manu's negotiations... ie: 'we've got Jones so here's our best offer take it or leave...'?
