LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

[sam16111986]

Rory Sutherland would certainly be my choice but only time will tell. We need a LH above all other positions and IMHO he is the best of the ones we think are still available.

Will Goodrick-Clark is also still available. Sutherland would be the better player but WGC has been a very consistent player for LI and is at an age where he's coming into his peak, I think he was a former Loughborough University player as well.

Not capped though is he. The rumour is it’s a NH capped prop

[RagingBull]

Looking at ins and outs I don't 100% know if we would have the cap for another out and out starter

Also what happened to the thread?
Go to check the op and it's gone?

I think two threads were merged so the first page is done chronologically...

Would suggest Mozorov then

I think I'd want to have confirmation of Watson and the Senior academy to know where the whole squad realistically sits.

Likelihood of van Wyk for example, being out of contract next year, so maybe that would pave the way for a starter LH?!

Guess we won't know whether we have the funds for a 'starter' LH, but personally if we keep Watson and don't sign another back-3 player we might have room for a more starter LH with Potter leaving.

[RagingBull]

Last 12 months has seen a change of
IN: Sam Carter, Mike Williams, Rogerson, Joe Powell, Tom Whiteley, Charlie Atkinson, Kieran Wilkinson, Solomane Kata, Ollie Hassell-Collins, Josh Bassett, Jamie Shillcock, Mike Brown,
New contracts for:
Cam Henderson
Charlie Clare
Dan Cole
Dan Kelly
Dan Richardson
Harry Simmons
George Martin
Freddie Steward
Jack Van Poortvliet
Ollie Chessum
Will Hurd
Julián Montoya
Guy Porter
Harry Wells
James Whitcombe

Out of that list prob only Dan Cole might be on less. Vast majority will be on more

We have had out some big names out but still I just not sure we will have the cap for a big name till next season, I guess we will see.


Squad looking real good though for the cap increase next season we could look to add potentially.
Starting Loosehead
Centre depth maybe
Wing depth
Honestly looking like a squad on paper that could challenge for Europe.

I thought I’d seen Goodrick-Clarke had gone to Ealing.

TBF West had gone to Ealing as well

I had a quick look and it's not been confirmed but was rumoured. They have signed Lewis Boyce for next season so have already recruited at least one loosehead. Biyi Alo has also gone there.

Ealing are linked with a lot of players, even ones that are definitely not going to sign for them (ala Freddie Burns).

[FrontRowUnionMember]

They’ve also signed Lewis Boyce from Bath and Brad Thyer from Cardiff, not LH’s. Plus already secured 4 of their current props on new deals. Seems a bit overkill.

Bewildered by the Mike Williams signing.
He is tried, tested and found wanting when with us previously.
Now older and even less dynamic an ineffective.

Might as well as spend the money on ice creams for the squad.

Are you suggesting we could have got Mr. Whippy on a similar deal

That’s a bit flakey

Would still be a scoop though.
