If other clubs offer them more would it be letting?

I guess you are hoping you get a Pollard style situation where the wider benefits of being part of the "journey" at Tigers outweigh the appeal of moving to a mid-lower team for more money

I don't see it hurting Saracens too much tbh.
Will help wasps a lot since their prop options at tighthead are weak, but Sarries already have a very good pack you slot in a solid tighthead (Already have the promising Italian international) and they will still be just as dangerous.
Europe is where these signings will hurt them I guess

Will Joe Heyes be a target for Sarries (and several other clubs!) would be another worry?
He's got no Premiership starts this season from 9 rounds after getting his first 2 England starts in the summer. Dan Cole has been outstanding this season but that's unlikely to temper frustrations for Heyes as a 22-year-old that will be wanting game time to keep developing.

Heyes seems pretty happy with where he is at currently judging by Instagram etc.
I think he understands the long aim.
Dan Cole is the perfect example to follow
To put things into perspective Dan Cole at his age
40 Tigers games
23 starts
Joe Heyes at 22
81 Tigers games
30 starts
2 tests
Cole is 34 granted playing his best rugby in ages but even still he will be getting phased out soon enough.
But no point rushing in a position that has quite long playing time, Afoa is 38 and still going.
In terms of England really his aim should be post world cup anyway.

High quality props will always be in demand. Young and mobile ones like Heyes especially. Sarries do have three tightheads beside Koch on the books in Riccioni (24), Clarey (27) and Beaton (20). If they were looking for a way to save a little money to help get under the cap signing a veteran who can do a job in tough games like they used to use Petrus du Pleasis for.

Harvey Beaton is a hell of a prospect. Looked monstrous in size and performance at the U20 6 Nations last season (JvP was captain) - I imagine he’ll be pushing on for that bench spot really soon.sam16111986 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 7:26 pmHigh quality props will always be in demand.

Neil Fissler and 'The Rugby Paper' are very much under the assumption that the latest CV doing the rounds of Japanese clubs is that of Saints Wing Taqele Naiyaravoro. Apparently Lyon also are keeping tabs on the situation.

As their fans will no doubt be a bit annoyed about losing Koch with rumours of the Vunipola brothers to follow they need a bit of positive PR.loretta wrote: ↑Fri Dec 10, 2021 9:16 amAs much could be said for most clubs at this time of year.

If you're cynical which I am you would think that club's would want positivity heading into the Christmas purchasing period.

Who's got cap and reputation to attract an England international Johnny Hill? I'm sure his agent is looking for an uplift mind.longlivethecrumbie wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 1:04 pm Telegraph are reporting that both Sam Skinner and Johnny Hill are set to leave Exeter in the summer
Sam Skinner probably has more options as he wouldn't lose his international status by moving to France where a player his skills would have plenty of suitors.
