I think you are right.Hot_Charlie wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 4:56 pm Are people talking about Jake Kerr, international hooker?
I think he’ll be nailed on starter in the 2 shirt far earlier than the end of the season. GF will captain the side with OTY remaining as “club captain”.

Not sure if this is quite right for an away strip but it might do for tomorrow?

Well, I guess the timing would coincide with Liebenberg going out of Super Rugby comp.

Popcorn Tuesday?

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD
Different kind of Popcorn Tuesday today!

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD
Wouldn't mind betting that we will see a true popcorn Tuesday after the for sale notice has gone up for no other reason than to try to keep us happy. Cannot understand why we haven't announced which development squad members have been promoted or are leaving. That can't be that the players don't want it made public because of current club commitments.
Hehehehehehehehe

Mahoney leaving
Heyes, Lewis, Reffell, White, simmons, Hardwick, Olowofela all have had contract announcements.
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD
Seen the contract announcements but they are still listed as dev squad members - surely they all should be confirmed as senior squad members by nowRagingBull wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 8:54 amThey have pretty muchtrendylfj wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 8:53 amWouldn't mind betting that we will see a true popcorn Tuesday after the for sale notice has gone up for no other reason than to try to keep us happy.

That stuff usually the last to get updated during pre season sometime.
For example none of the U18's have moved up despite the club saying officially that whitecombe and Everleigh have senior development contracts.
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD
Agree with this 100%, OTY has been a great servant but I'm not even convinced he's in the best 2 hookers, let alone the starter.Hot_Charlie wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 4:56 pm Are people talking about Jake Kerr, international hooker?
I think he’ll be nailed on starter in the 2 shirt far earlier than the end of the season. GF will captain the side with OTY remaining as “club captain”.
My view is that Kerr should get a run at the shirt, the club need to give the younger lads more experience and game time or they'll go elsewhere.
Would like to see more of Hardwick next season in particular.
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD
I think Kerr should start as 1st choice Hooker next Season - we need to move on . The same with Hardwick - he needs game time to improve and get experience . For me Heyes is completely unproven at Premiership level - a few brief cameo appearances not all of which have gone well . He needs to start so that we can see if he really does have the potential to be more than a promising youngster .

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD
He started against Scarlets and did well in the scrum against an international loosehead. About the only area we did well that day. Heyes has generally been good off the bench there's some work to do but considering he's only 19 I'd say he's doing ok. At that age Dan Cole was not as accomplished at the dark arts of the scrum.MikeR wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 5:57 pm I think Kerr should start as 1st choice Hooker next Season - we need to move on .

Jan McGinity now confirmed. Also a new role for Glynn. www.leicestertigers.com/news/tigers-exp ... d-the-team
Other reports suggest that Ford is also staying, and Pat Howard is to have a 'mentoring role', one week a month, to help Geordan push through the changes he wants to see.

The mirror and TBH I think Cohen suggested it in a report that he would be staying for another season potentially.
