Not impressed with Quin's signings. As someone mentioned though, I think they are basically squad signings.

We have made signings. They are just waiting to announce them. The incoming players have asked for the announcement not to be made yet. We are doing the right thing by the player.

People need to stop being so impatient!

I agree with Ellis, Signings have been made, and we just have to wait and see who they are.

Yes indeed we do have to, unless anybody wants to help me stage an elaborate heist to break into Geordie's filing cabinet? Doesn't mean we have to be happy about it.

No we don't have to be happy about it, but possibly, and this is an opinion, it may, as I have previously stated, be linked to the possibility of our being relegated. :smt017

No. We've done it for a while. Relegation threat has nothing to do with it.

We have never been in this position before. It could be that some players are still holding the pen but haven't signed yet. :smt102

Any player that is the quality that we need will be on other clubs shopping lists, so unless we have outbid the rest, I would expect them to go elsewhere if they are wavering about coming to Tigers. If they are not on shopping lists elsewhere, do we want them?

Ryan Olowofela has signed for saints next season, I thought he was quite highly regarded in the England 7s circuit, but it will certainly add a new dimension to the darby, If the both play. Does anyone know if there has ever been bothers on opposite side for it before.

Well now, how about, George and Joe Ford for starters, or are you meaning Tigers / Saints? :smt102

So Cips re-signs on a double your money deal at £400kpa. So they got him at first on £200k? What a fantastic piece of business that was!!! Getting him at £400k is too although with no England top up money and the money offered in France I am sceptical.

Cipriani is the "real deal" as the saying goes. Would have loved him here, but that was never going to happen.
