He can, but I'd certainly only do that in emergency situations (e.g. sin bin etc)
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Kibirige looking good in super rugby.
Worth a look at if we are losing a few wingers.
Something like
Kibirige, Bassett, OHC, Brown for Nadolo, Watson, Ashton, Saumaki, Murimurivlau

He has been for almost every (if not all) home game since he signed. I doubt we'll see him feature.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2023 1:03 pm I noted that Wolstenholme was one of the bench reserves yesterday, despite Whitely seemingly being above in the pecking order previously, do we think that we may see Wolstenholme soon in a Tigers jersey?

Sometimes you've just got to be brave.ABClub wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2023 9:53 pm I'd argue there's a big difference between coming in at blindside then shifting to lock once comfortable compared to just being dropped in at lock. Chessum and Martin both started at 6 then transitioned into lock. Lewis looks a fantastic talent but I'm not sure he's one to play blindside so may well take a bit longer to come through.

Hasn’t Kini recently signed a contract or am I imagining it ?RagingBull wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 11:59 am Kibirige looking good in super rugby.

Have to admit I haven't seen him play for Treviso this season but I would love to see Ignacio Mendy at Tigers he looked like a really good prospect. Alternatively if we need back 3 reinforcements looking at Fijian Drua or keeping our powder dry for a WC bolter like we did with Veainu might not be a bad shout

I hope not. I fail to see what value we are getting out of both him and Saumaki at present other than practice fodderay2oh wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 12:17 pmHasn’t Kini recently signed a contract or am I imagining it ?RagingBull wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 11:59 am Kibirige looking good in super rugby.

He announced a contract extension last May, as ever we don't know for how long, it's more than possible it was only a season long extension.ay2oh wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 12:17 pmHasn’t Kini recently signed a contract or am I imagining it ?RagingBull wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 11:59 am Kibirige looking good in super rugby.

For reference it was the same day we announced Jansen's extension and we know he's off to Connacht, as that was only a season long extension.

Looking at Italian sides, Pierre Bruno is out of contract in the summer. I thought he was consistently really goo over the Six Nations. Cracking all round winger.kpj tiger wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 12:47 pm Have to admit I haven't seen him play for Treviso this season but I would love to see Ignacio Mendy at Tigers he looked like a really good prospect.

Cap guys. We can’t afford to just buy players because they might be good............

The second row chat will presumably be injury dispensation so a different conversation.northerntiger wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 6:48 pm Cap guys. We can’t afford to just buy players because they might be good............
Back three wise we might be losing Watson, Saumaki, Kini and Ashton plus Nadolo and Hegarty midseason. OHC, Bassett and Shillcock in. Hopefully an extension for Brown too. That should not only leave cap space for recruitment but realistically necessitates signings in a RWC year.

Cam Henderson has re-signed with us for the long-term. Announced on the club Twitter.
Fantastic piece of news.

Fantastic news on Henderson, he’s been really solid this season and locking him in long term is great news!

He’s certainly has had his breakout season with Martin.
Chessum will have to work to get in with them
