LEICESTER TIGERS 2021/22 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACTS: Aled Walters and the Philosopher's Stone

[RagingBull]

not wrong about Fissler
But kinda looks like it’s true I guess can’t tells

Oh well if he is off I am disappointed dude been massive for us this season.
But thankful to have seen him play at his best at Tigers if he is off.

fair warning, Nadolo doesn't hold back on his language

Nemzy isn’t happy about the (rumour) leak!!!

Seems he’s mad (fuming) about the link but not actually denied it being true/false. Either way not sure i’d fancy nemz being fuming with me and asking to meet man to man

[RagingBull]

Ok confirms it isn’t true

[fentiger]

Nemzy's said it isn't true!

Mind the language, but Nemani denies that it's true.

Just when I thought I couldn't love Nemani Nadolo any more!

The "have you been drinking" comment from Fissler , sums the bloke up really

[Jimmy Skitz]

of the people on the planet I would pick a fight with if they got angry at something I wrote a 6'5" Fijian is probably about last on that list...

Saumaki reminds me of Thorley a bit.
Could do the job certainly a threat but I would fancy a forward to put him down with not that much of a issue on a crash ball line. His strength usually from what i've seen at Tigers and his highlights is the ability to power past through a mix of size and acceleration any one v one's with the opposition 13/winger.

He's not the quickest winger or the biggest (Despite his height and weight stats) but he has a balanced mix of both.

Reality is finding someone who offers Nadolo threat is really next too impossible.

I think out of all the squad Porter is really only one who might fill in that role more.

Walter Fifitia up at Glasgow? Ten years younger and not quite the same weight but still north of 8 stone and 6ft5 though he's not really made a splash there as of yet.

Saumaki has a lot of acceleration for a big bloke, not sure he uses his weight as well as he could in contact. He's got bags of potential to be a really dangerous player but what you get with Nadolo is the refinement, he's been there and he's done it. The bloke is class and knows exactly how to maximise his strengths.

Surely we have the ready made replacement in Muri, I cant understand why he gets so little playing time?

Regarding your suggestions of Fifitia, he's a bit lightweight don't you think?

Walter Fifita is 118kg (or 18 st 8 lbs for the elderly).

Let's put it like this, Neil has clearly upset one of the nicest guys in rugby and rather than apologise he's trying to wind him up further.

Guy has ZERO class and seems to struggle in basics of human decency...

[baz1664]

Good on Nadolo for having a pop at Fissler, clearly a private guy who doesn’t want rumours spouting about him, if he does go and it’s for family reasons then all respect to the legend, a model professional!!

I am sure SB has a replacement already bagged!!

[Rugbygramps]

With it being PRC week wonder if we will get any news this week on transfers etc
