LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD Part 1

[Leicestertinytiger]

Here’s a radical idea, how about we play the guy that plays 12 internationally for England with great success, at 12 for Tigers...

Because he's a better 13. Where's he played with greater success for England (beating the ABs). England lack a natural 12 of the same level as their three very good 13s (Joseph struggling for fitness currently though).

But we have better options at 13 than 12 so move Manu inside and play someone else at 13

Was thinking this myself. I’ve no doubt it’s something we may explore next season with Taute or Thomas outside him. Playing at 12 means he’s less prone to come out the line and get caught on the outside.

How many PRC games before the season starts? I don't want to see a repeat of last season where we went with the kids then had the first team going into league games "cold". With no internationals we have to hit the ground running!

3 games I think, more if we progress.

Looks like that's it,welcome guys. No more popcorn days now I should think

[DingDong]

Very exciting! Hopefully with more consistency in selection and the right level of coaching (?) that is looking like a dynamic attacking set up at last.
