The official Toulouse status about it say till the end of the season, so no pinching him in the early months of 2023 either...
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Just for reference the club has released a new training video and pics on Twitter. Included in there are all they guys who were away on international duty (even Heyes only just released a day or two ago) with Nadolo featuring in there too so definitely still in Leicester, probably from today's session...Scott1 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 10:21 amThanks TFS! links working now ,was this:TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 10:18 amPretty sure he's in Leicester still, not sure when exactly he leaves, but was in Leicester last week.

Rugby Paper says Tigers are keeping tabs on Auckland coach Leon MacDonald as possible Borthwick replacement. He’s over here coaching an Allblacks XV who have played the barbarians. Reads like agent talk to me.

Would be a good replacement has some international experience as well I believe. Like others I can’t see Borthwick being interested in the job yet too early in his career. Even if he does I feel he would want a Conner O’Shea type person to deal with all the media rubbish.Tigers86asw wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 10:17 am Rugby Paper says Tigers are keeping tabs on Auckland coach Leon MacDonald as possible Borthwick replacement.

Also semi Tigers related that Joe Cokanasiga is being lined up by LI because OHC is "on the verge" of signing for us. Also Radwan is close to signing an extension with NewcastleTigers86asw wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 10:17 am Rugby Paper says Tigers are keeping tabs on Auckland coach Leon MacDonald as possible Borthwick replacement.

He's done a very good over in NZ. Highly rated over there and someone who I wouldn't be shocked to see come to Europe as a stepping stone to an international job.Tigers86asw wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 10:17 am Rugby Paper says Tigers are keeping tabs on Auckland coach Leon MacDonald as possible Borthwick replacement.

Jamie Shilcock leaving Bath after his short term deal ends.
Was previously linked with us.
Atkinson replaced Hegarty, wonder if he is going to be announced later to us?

Why would need yet another fly half when Atkinson cannot even get a game?
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 - Prisoner of Oadby Pre-Season
Shilcock is primarily a 15 who covers 10. That said I think most of the Shilcock rumours were prior to Wasps players being available, so signing Atkinson may have been instead of Shilcock

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 - Prisoner of Oadby Pre-Season
Shillcock is a very classy and thoroughly underrated 15 that can cover 10. He'd be an ideal signing for us if Burns is indeed looking at a return to Japan. Atkinson and Gopperth to back up Pollard and then Shillcock as understudy to Steward.
Shillcock was fantastic for Bath against us and in particular that first half period when we were on top remaining solid with some big clearing kicks and nice little darts.
He'd be a great signing for us potentially.

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 - Prisoner of Oadby Pre-Season
Interesting. I’ve always felt Watson is a better wing than 15, and we do need extra cover at 15 for Steward not just when he is away with England, but to give the bloke a rest. Much as I’d like to see us go to Bristol fully loaded I’d also happily not see Steward until Clermont at home.sam16111986 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 28, 2022 11:25 amShillcock is a very classy and thoroughly underrated 15 that can cover 10.

If Burns does go Shillcock would make a lot of sense for next season
