LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

[Doghashadhisday]

Yep never said he wasn't the first one pictured, just hadn't been seen since that first week. Saw that he was in the videos yesterday which is great news. Must have got over whatever injury was keeping him out before

He got injured in his first training session at Tigers and has been out for about 6 weeks but is back. He mentioned it on the Radio Leicester podcast yesterday.

Reports are appearing (Telegraph on Twitter) that Watson could be out of the world cup with an injury. That brings up a whole host of questions regarding his current contractual position. Who is responsible for medical care and rehab, if we have not agreed to sign him until after the World Cup, can we do so now or should be do so now. Can we pay the extra few months of salary and stay under the cap.

All sorts of possible ramifications.

My hope is that it is just a minor knock, all is fine and he will be in the World Cup Squad.

Indeed, injury now could make things interesting

First and foremost it's gutting for him to be out

If he's RFU contracted they have to sort his rehab...

An Injury for Watson now would put him in the worst possible negotiating position

Stronger comments on social media that both Daly and Watson are def out, but not seen official confirmation. Disaster for the players (and England) if true.
I'm starting to think it's not bad not to have more Tigers involved, given the attrition rate...I'm on the naughty step accordingly

A few on here have said that Watson has already signed and we are just keeping it quiet for now,let's see!

Daly back after this weekend, seems Jonny May is Watson's replacement

Terrible news,Watson is a far bigger loss than Daly would be!

hopefully Arundell steps up and takes his chance, real point of difference potential there

Arundell is also supposedly carrying a knock...

Not when he's constantly chatting high balls and looking up at the sky.....

I do wonder if now he's injured it may mean we find out the destination of Watson post World Cup sooner than waiting for England to finish their campaign...

I suspect so as, even if England are carrying the cost, I suspect that the do not have the staff of facilities to deal with a long term rehab over a number of weeks/months. That is better carried out by the club.

If Watson hasn't signed a contract yet, he is now nicely up the creek.

If Watson hasn't signed a contract yet, he is now nicely up the creek.

If he hasn’t signed anything, anywhere, I’d say deservingly so.
