Nice notion, but as stated at the last supporters forum we are "pretty much done" when it comes to new signings.
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

Wouldn't mind a Magic Friday followed by a Super Saturday instead......

Wasps sniffing around Genge,but apparently he signed a new contract end of last season. Were we all unsure on this still or was it already cleared up?

You got any links to that or is it something you heard?

I've seen it mentioned here

Which is basically asking fans who they would like to see.

So he isn't on Wasps radar. (well i'm sure he is and he will be on every teams radar).

Just the fans want him.
Ask Tigers fans the same question and I'm sure they will all say they want Thomas Waldrom back :smt002 .

I reckon if Genge was out of contract end of summer they would be a lot more noise about it.

On Fred Tuilagi’s instagram he’s hanging out with Will Evans, Tommy Reffell, Jesse Barkwell (son of Mark), George Worth and “BJ” Edwards. Is the lock here to stay?

I see that the Coventry Telegraph has a sense of humour. Suggests Kieran Brookes as an elite number 3!

Just wishful thinking isn't it.

If its serious they're off their rocker. Forwards better off at Tigers IMO. If you're a back I could see why though with more money and the way they play.

Does anyone else think Kriel would be a great signing?

Could start at 15 and allow Veainu to play 14 where I’ve heard he prefers. Plus when Tuilagi is injured could cover 13.

Have heard that Sale and Gloucester are also after him.

Jesse Kriel? He’s more of an outside centre, playing well for an over-performing Bulls side so probably still wanted by the Springboks. It would be quite expensive to get him as well.

Jesse Kreil is still in contract with the Bok I believe.

Gloucester are after Jaco Kriel the Flanker from Lions.
And sale are being linked with everyone currently.
