I must say that I am genuinely quite impressed with the signings so far, let’s see who we get in next, then I might be genuinely excited 😊

Do we know when their season ends?
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

I think it’ll be either Moroni or Jones to close out the midfield options, and Moroni is gathering more media coverage. Probably only a fullback and prop left after that. Can’t see them all being today....?

There’s always one.
Wallace is a great signing IMO. The sort of player really good teams are built around. Not a superstar but a ';glue' player. Pain in the :censored: to play against I would imagine because he always gives up a full shift. Great news.

I think they’ve just played week 5 of 8 , so at a guess he would be arriving end of August. At least he will be match fit

Totally agree Traveller, as others have said a like for like replacement for Thompson, and will be as effective imo.

Where does this Jones rumour come from? I can't find anything linking him to Tigers since 2018...

Not sure that I can ever forgive him for pushing our weak scrum back and sideways, he was at right angles to the tunnel, at the Stoop a few years back. JPDoyle awarded a penalty try, one of a couple iirc!

The day gets better and better - although we may now be officially Leicester Tigers: Southern Hemisphere Division!
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000

A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Thus far very solid indeed.Astute and quality signings.
Seemingly heading rapidly toward senility .....Not long or far to go now , in fact, getting worse daily.....
