Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 - Prisoner of Oadby Pre-Season
Have I missed something on Hegarty? I’ve seen a few comments on here now, and there seems to be a murmur on social media that he could be Oz bound…

Tbf the way in which your podcast presented that news it did appear as though they both had legs. I appreciate however that any story is only as good as the original source. I’m sure you won’t get disheartened.AViewFromLe2 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 1:59 pmThank you Steve - that was what we said on both players.

Imagine we’ll hear further announcements over the summer about Hegarty and Nadolo. Olowofela to probably go back out on loan. Also expect some more incoming players.
Rumours about the Italian U20 flanker, Steff Hughes still and possibly another flanker to replace MVS.
Doubt Nadolo and Hegarty will be announced over the summer. More likely Autumn announcements for them to go for the start of the year down there in November?
On MVS - worth remembering that it was only a few weeks ago, many on here had reported speaking to him personally and being told he would be here next season. We advised that he was passing the return to play procedures like Steve said.
Moroni is an interesting one. Watson's interview with The Telegraph is very interesting as he was told i December by Bath he would not get a new contract, and only got a new club by end of April (us). It's at that point the rumours of Moroni staying went cold - makes me think that maybe we had a choice between the two players and went for Watson over Moroni.
Love it when the resident pot on here calls the kettle black, made me giggle.

He was added as a possible leaver by RB this morning going off to the Western Force.
Radwan needs to improve his all round game first, you can see by the type of wingers that SB regularly picks Potter, Porter, Ashton, he prefers a work horse to a show pony

Awfully short these summer hiatuses these days, a day wasn’t it? Hahahahaha

I suspect Olowofela will go on loan again
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 - Prisoner of Oadby Pre-Season
How long is his contract?!

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 - Prisoner of Oadby Pre-Season
The fact there has not been a renewal suggests it might have been a 3 year deal I guess

Thanks,do you think he should’ve been given a chance when he came back from Oz? A hat trick in SR is no mean featRagingBull wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 4:51 pm The fact there has not been a renewal suggests it might have been a 3 year deal I guess

There is a decent player there, on loan at the Dragons isn't exactly a great place to show off your talents....Scott1 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 4:52 pmThanks,do you think he should’ve been given a chance when he came back from Oz?

Wonder if Rowntree Jnr will show up at Munster...one to keep tabs on you would presume.
To win is not as important as playing with style!

An Australian sports reporter on Twitter, stated Hegarty was coming back to Super Rugby, most likely to Western Force...

Wowzers! I was under the impression he was only the 4th to do it for an Ozzie club. Fancy spending all that time researching though just to prove or disprove a point,you're getting very touchy in your old age RBRagingBull wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 5:45 pmWho for?Scott1 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 4:52 pmThanks,do you think he should’ve been given a chance when he came back from Oz?

He was the 4th to do it for the Western Force so I was a tiny bit right

There is no doubt that Olowefela is pretty quick but he is reluctant to tackle and can’t defend so not Steve’s type of player I guess.
