LEICESTER TIGERS 2020/21 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD Part 2

[strawclearer]

Tigers physio Dave Orton has announced he is leaving the club after 10 years

Uneasy feelings.......

Same here.......

Very.

[JP14]

Wonder if Taufua might be another who could be looking at going.

Could be Genge, Tuilagi, Ford, or even Johny McPhilips!

The point is that it does no good speculating especially when people like Neil Fissler just copy and paste rumours from message boards such as these to (like Bondi said) to just sell the papers.

Doubt that.
Genge, Tuilagi and Ford will have England draw, and no other premiership club will really beat our offer.
Least be logical, they could well leave but it's a lot more unlikely than the other names.

I like Bondi but it's not like the club have done much other than tease incomings for about a month now in that regards.
I have no problem waiting but when no news happens, even copy and paste rumours at least brings some discussions.

C'mon RagingBull you of all people should know the club cannot announce players until they (the players) are ready.

[RagingBull]

Yes I know that and don't mind waiting.
But you can't not expect idle speculation when you are not providing information it will always happen.

Although what's the reason for Harry Potter not being able to be named yet?
I've always wondered what are some of the players reasons for not being announced because most of the time it isn't even them holding back the info.

[Leicestertinytiger]

Fingers crossed the Lavanini and Veainu rumours don’t come to fruition. Petti signed for Bordeaux, not Stade as reported.

If it was Potter who was pictured at Victoria Park it seems farcical that the club say nothing. Particularly when the photo taken by one of the club's own players. It feels a little disrespectful to those supporters who are currently hanging on every news bulletin, journalist report and rumour. It is only out of concern for the club and the desperate hope for a brighter future.

The Tigers PR has always been old fashioned and shockingly insular. But its led from the top.....

[RagingBull]

Well looks like Harry Potter confirmed by the club

[RichieB]

Well looks like Harry Potter confirmed by the club

[strawclearer]

Well looks like Harry Potter confirmed by the club

Let's hope he renders his opposite number completely immobile.............Petrificus Totalus !!!

[FrontRowUnionMember]

10am on the dot. Are we expecting further popcorn at 11 and onwards???

[westwinds31]

From the rumours, it’s Itoje next, then Allemano, then Yarde, then the SA winger.....sorry couldn’t resist. Oh, forgot Isiekwe.

Perhaps because they want to name several signings at once and wanted to put that off whilst there were talks with staff over potential redundancy. Might not have been Potter they were waiting on.

The club might not have been particularly happy about McPhillips post either. I remember Cockers being particularly annoyed by a Jordan Crane tweet that detailed the length of his injury.

“Disrespectful”? Give over - you’re going woke. Maybe he only arrived in country a couple of days ago, and god forbid maybe there’s a plan for announcing new arrivals.

What does 'going woke' mean? I looked on Google and the only suggestion given doesn't make any sense in the context used.

[RagingBull]

Lock incoming

Blake Enever....
Hopefully he’s one of two locks incoming.
