Effective immediately. Dickens might be with us shortly then.
Don’t know about you Sam but I would be surprised if we saw any formal announcements now before June 1st when Mckellar officially starts
This announcement makes it more likely he'll be announced sooner rather than later. That being said a raft of announcements after the season is all done and dusted next week ahead of McKellar starting would also make sense.

Great Context

For me it’s leavers next week (clearing the way), Dans arrival (new beginnings) and his team and then any new arrivals or re-signings

Sad to see Potter go, if we have signed Watson I hope it’s a 2 year contract as he will miss most of next year

Our wingers so far for next year are OHC and Josh Bassett

Leavers have already been announced by the club:
https://www.leicestertigers.com/news/sq ... avers-2223

Only change to that is likely to be Watson or Potter adding to that list

Personally I think once everything is confirmed that the media team will want a week or so ideally to prep how they're launching it all, then do it early.

The fact rumours have surfaced yesterday re. Potter suggests that loose ends may be fully tied up, we don't know when they were tied up, so I think this week or next we'll get announcements...

For some reason I thought it was July that Mckellar officially started? I may be getting confused of course...highly likely

It may be me that is confused. I know Wigglesworth starts with England on June 1 so made the step from there

Next season’s rugby contracts all start 1st July.
For players at least.
It may be that we're jumping the gun in saying McKellar starts 1st June, however it wouldn't surprise me if we start him a tad early to get feet under the table...

1st June for Wiggy is because the England tour starts so soon after the season.

Mohamed Haouas, probably best known for his two sending off's vs Scotland, has been jailed for a year and had his contract with Clermont terminated as a result.

He hit his wife for lying to him about quitting smoking.

Agree it's the quote where he's defending hitting her by saying it's not the fact she's smoking but the fact she's lying as if that makes the fact he hit her better... disgusting

Some of my Sale friends are saying there's rumours of LCD signing for them as a replacement for Ashman.

It’s on various social media feeds and with Ashman having gone to Edinburgh it frees up potential space
