George Ford and Handrè Pollard discussions

[TigerFeetSteve]

I also don’t think it’s correct that Pollard spent the whole season on the touch line due to his ACL. Once he announced he was joining Tigers he was very much out of favour.

Very much so, and when they had Garbisi as another fly half option they had one of the short list of players who you could put him on the bench for without a significant dip in quality.

It does mean, however, that he can begin to integrate with Tigers earlier than expected - every cloud....

Interesting line in the club's article on the latest 'Boks squad:

"Wiese's soon-to-be Leicester Tigers clubmate Handrè Pollard has not been included in the matchday squad"

That's a non-statement if there ever was one! He might be on a plane to England, he might not!

I would imagine he’s more likely to be on a plane to France before he heads over here

We might get an indication of Pollard’s injury in a couple of weeks. There may well be some very affordable players on the market then, who we’d de able to pick up as medical jokers. If we sign one, we’ll know we have a long wait to see HP playing at Welford Road.

He's in Harborough already if you look at his wife's Instagram story

Do you have a link

Edit sorry I’ve just found it.
Assume she moved over to wait for him. Good news.

For your information Pollard sustained his ACL injury in September 2020 and did not play again until May 2021.

Yeah, one of his return games was off the bench vs us in the Challenge cup final.

Yes and in between times he announced he was coming to us and was subsequently benched by Montpellier when he was fit. That’s for your information

According to South Africa Pollard has a long term injury so has been told to come over to Tigers to rehabilitate! Not sure if that’s true.
Some rumours too from friends saying Freddie off to Quins: I’d be surprised but who knows!!

King Freddie or Air Steward?

The latest Ruck headline is that Quins have made Steward their prime target for next summer. Makes no sense really in regards of cost at a time that Smith needs a new contract and when they already have two fullbacks who suit their style of play better than Steward would.

Then again a few months ago it was Bristol, then it was Exeter, wonder who will be signing him next.

He'd be mad to go, I think, but then I figured we'd be able to keep one of Genge and Ford, so what do I know...
