All will be revealed soon, and we'll have plenty to discuss and debate. Bring it on.

Taufua scrapped a lucrative spell in Japan to go home and play for the All Blacks. Now he's got the shirt I don't think he'll leave.
If we could get Frizell over instead though, there's a dynamic ball carrier, looks like a more compact Steve Mafi. He's young though so it might be tough to talk him out of staying and playing for the ABs.

I am the same. Even on a night shift I have a cheeky check to see the last updated post and if it's this thread I have a little heart flutter...even at 4am when clearly it's not the signing of Israel Dagg (which I would like so very much)...strawclearer wrote: ↑Wed Jan 30, 2019 7:34 pm I don't know about the rest of you but, particularly at this time of year, whenever I see this thread highlighted in red showing there's a new message, my heart skips a beat!
Mind you - that could be the Atrial Fibrillation.
Hope this message hasn't got anyone over-excited!
There is never any points for 2nd place...

I think you’ve mixed the two up, Taufua hasn’t even by capped by New Zealand whereas Frizell has, whilst I really rate both players Taufua would be a more realistic addition.sam16111986 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 30, 2019 8:15 pmTaufua scrapped a lucrative spell in Japan to go home and play for the All Blacks.

Putting 2 and 2 together and getting at least 100 probably but...RagingBull wrote: ↑Wed Jan 30, 2019 4:53 pm 2019
Brodie Retallick (27) - Rumoured Sale (I don't believe it)
A few names on there that would be a good signing.
I hope you know something that means you believe he’s going elsewhere, closer to home...

I don't see him leaving NZ 27/28, in prime position to be a NZ captain.

What happened with D-mac in the end?

So i guess he is now their #1 pick? Shame as he could have fitted in quite well from the few highlights i've seen.
cheers

And that article was over 6 months old, a very long time in sport.

Damn! My crystal ball is not working, just as I was on the verge of letting everyone know just who is joining us.
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2018/19 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 5
Latest truth or trash... Marquee replacement for Toomua is a current or former All Black, predominantly a No.6, can play across the Back Row (sounds like us)...

I think there is part truth to that.
Just not the Toomua marquee bit, unless it was Ardie Savea which it won't be.
