Where does this Jones rumour come from? I can't find anything linking him to Tigers since 2018...
It was mentioned to be by a supposedly reliable source, who I shall beat soundly next time I see him.

Impressive.
Just Tuilagi and Bateman to be replaced now.
Then we can put this period of uncertainty behind us.
The balance on the whole looks god, definitely think we’ve strengthened overall, and with a deeper/higher calibre coaching pool, we can finally get excited about what’s ahead.

How many are we expecting today?

Last 1 at 12 apparently, think we may hang on to replace Bateman, 5 front line props in place at present, waiting to be proved wrong now. 😂

Are we all thinking it's Moroni? Roberts? Or perhaps someone unexpected...

Interesting that he is classed as outside back who can play center on the tigers website?
Maybe he isn’t Manu replacement but more Holmes?

If our pack can get them ball on the front foot I am sure they can score tries
