LEICESTER TIGERS 2018/19 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 5

[RagingBull]

France would make the most sense.
Not many teams in the prem can afford the cap space needed to compete with French clubs.

Henry is like a demigod down in France, so would give Manu a couple of lifestyle tips etc that usually catches out some players who struggle in France (Mainly the welsh).

[Scuttle]

I've heard several Prem clubs are sniffing around Tuilagi too, some of which we also cannot compete with salary-wise.

Maybe Wasps? Manu could remain stable domestically and wouldnt need to learn French, and they seem to gave shed enough people tp free up some cash.

[RagingBull]

Wasps wouldn't make sense with JDJ and Fekitoa.
Manu, Fekitoa and JDJ would be a stupid amount of cap on 3 players that only play in the centres.

100% will be saracens.....

Ah yes. Good point!

Sounds like he has already gone the way some are saying on here! I hope he doesn't read the forum because some posts will help him make his mind up!

[Scott1]

Sarries nearly had him before according to one source,it fell apart because of a second medical with an independent doctor,something along those lines. He won't go to another English club,I'm almost certain of that. And like Wardy says he hasn't decided anything yet,but I think someone knows more than they are letting on,unless it was just a mistake in posting "will" instead of "could"

That was just a mistake.
As my old English treacher would say, “proof read the :censored: thing!”

Sky show a lot of the super rugby games usually 6 or 7 over a Friday or Saturday.
If you want highlights they are usually on YouTube with 48 hours

From France...

Transfer news - Manu Tuilagi was in Paris on Monday afternoon to get a tour of the Racing 92 facilities

He wants a three-year deal (which apparently Leicester have already offered). Depends whether he is ready to give up on his England hopes #Midol

Just watching the Chiefs Highlanders game.
Recruitment needed in midfield and back row we could do an awful lot worse than 2 Highlanders players Rob Thompson and Luke Whitelock, who I think once spent some time at Loughborough grammar
