If you watch the Tigers Eyes vid, you will see Mike Brown is quite vocal along with Montoya, I think he is seen as more than just a player who leads by example, turning into a mentor and coach too, some of our younger players may well benefit greatly.

If other circumstances (whatever they are) do not sort themselves out, could Brown transition into a backs coach for us.

What am I missing here? Emerged as favourites…..reads like it’s not all tied up for Wiese, which would be lunacy.

Urasayu D-Rocks have emerged as favourites to sign Leicester No.8 Jasper Wiese when he leaves Welford Road at the end of the season

I think Weise will stay in the Prem. My bet is either Bristol or Sarries to replace "more senior No.8's"who could be moving on. They seem to be 2 of the few clubs who seem to muster up the money to outspend others. No intel, just a hunch.

No way Wiese stays in the Prem IMO...

He can't be marquee anywhere else and we offered a BIG contract to him, so he can't go elsewhere for the money and no matter what else he is fond of Tigers, the way he talks about us there is no chance unless there is a big big amount offered which is just not possible in the cap...
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

My interpretation is that he's already signed a contract with a Japanese club, the speculation is about which Japanese club it will be because that hasn't been confirmed yet.

I think I've missed something. Is there an article that prompted the original question?

Thought Cronin played well today, but thinking about some other LHs in the market.

Nicky Smith is a class scrummager. Also rumoured that Rhys Carre is coming back to the premiership. Probably Saracens or Gloucester but I’ve always rated him as a seriously underrated player.

Jesus, the last couple of weeks has really shown how much we're gonna miss Jasper... Not just for the big carriers, either. He's the complete Number 8 now, with a fantastic engine, and no discipline issues.
