Loving the title and thanks, once again, for creating the thread and pulling together the info RB
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 Squad and transfers thread part 2: The Lion, the Wig and the Wardrobe
Sadly Watson won’t be here next season.
If Harrison goes will Stanko come back!!!!

That's my first time seeing the name Will Gatus with regards to Tigers. Is that the former Leeds Rhinos academy player?
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 Squad and transfers thread part 2: The Lion, the Wig and the Wardrobe
As Ashton is retiring, he can be put as out?
