It's a great move for him. Good player, he'll tackle anything that moves. Played 40 times for Leinster when Matt O'Connor was coach so the new Leicester head coach obviously rates him.

Dom Ryan such a Leicester player. Very good player mind.
wonderfully talented and good looking?
Didn't quite cut it in Ireland, but probably should have. Only difference is he's always been quite highly rated, but has always been unlucky with the amount of talent around him. Should have moved a couple years back. Think he will be outstanding for you.
fingers crossed he can do a Cullen, Jenngings, Godan Murphy, Johne Murphy even a Frank Murphy and Ian Humphreys and work out for us.
Aslong as he doesn't bugger off back to ireland if he hits form again.

Good to see us signing some back row talent. Was the big part of the side that was lacking this year, we have never properly replaced Salvi, Waldrom et al.
Nothing left for Dom in Ireland I think. He's 27 and he will want to play fist team rugby until he's dead.
Dom Ryans biggest issue is staying fit.

I think Jonah Holmes is a great signing, and typical of the sort of understated guy who goes on to become a Tigers stalwart.
I haven't watched him very much for a couple of years, but from I have seen of him he could be very good.

He has kiwi parents if I remember correctly and said something about not being true to himself if he continued playing American Football after college, he only played it to get a free education. I read an article about him a couple of weeks ago I will see if I can find it.
Found it.

He would have to have a large amount of Raw potential really as I can't see the standard of coaching being great in America and he wasn't rugby training full time either.
Hope he makes it but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Any chance the transfer list post could be fixed?

I think if Toomua is fit then he would be a good 10 for those weeks, but it needs us to sign another 12.
We really need another 12 anyway, all our centre options apart from him are 13s (Manu, Catchpole, Smith, Tait)
I wonder if we could get Jacob Umaga back, I'm guessing part of the reason he left was a bit of a block at 10/12 which doesn't exist now

Didn't he leave on pretty bad terms? I can't see it happening.
No.
He left for more money.
TBH I'm fine with young Hardwick anyway.
Umaga is nowhere near ready for Senior rugby next season.
He would have been a late round draft pick or probably a free agent. Realistically a contract dead set in ink is less risky and safer for him than fighting for a place in a practice squad in the NFL only to be cut before too long. Add to that he could be an Olympian in rugby. Seems to have had a good college career, but don't hold breath too much.
I've heard rumours of Eastmond coming after wasps signing lovabolovu and de jongh

Not really
He's got the raw skills but no real game management expertise and often tries too hard.
