Confirmed Transfers

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

I mean he's not from Northampton/didn't come through their academy - I doubt the animosity is there off the pitch

Agree but also doubt the tigers pitch, backs skills and culture would suit him either. Same way a pollard wouldn’t have fit us.

Both clubs should rightly throw money at him but I can’t even see him being interested in playing for tigers based on the above items. If he was a forward I’d get it, but not a back.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Saints can offer him the marquee shot, whereas tigers can't.

Yeah but the question is are saints willing to spend that kind of cash

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Also I think you have a very outdated view on Tigers attack

9. JVP
10. Smith
11. OHC
12. Woodward
13. Perese/Kata
14. Radwan
15. Steward

Is a hell of a back line
We had the joint top try scorer in OHC

Saints only scored 6 more tries last season compared to us this season, Hewat has been great

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Are you joking or do you genuinely think you might sign him? Not sure if it's a windup or not.

Assuming it's not, there just no way I can see him going to Tigers of all places.

Oh I see Tigers going for him

Be stupid not too either we get him or Saints are forced to go up more than they where wanting

Personally I’m wanting Albornoz and feel that’s a realistic target

I mean those aren't exactly the most skillful rounded players there. They are premiership good but they are not rounded. It’s no slight as it works for the style you play. The same way saints forward are more mobile and not as gritty as tigers ones.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Ben Volavola leaving tigers

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Tigers sign
James Thompson (25 year old kiwi NPC utility forward)
John Stewart from Bath
Gabriel Hamer-Webb from Cardiff
And George Marsh and Diamond Ayiehfor

 

[TRF_Olyy]

GHW is a very good pickup

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Billy Searle and Orlando Bailey joining!!!

 

[Which Tyler]

Billy Searle and Orlando Bailey joining!!!

Any other ex-Bath players you want?
4 in one day seems excessive

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

And prob the last signing of the day is James O'Connor confirmed

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Kinda concerning how many players we've had leave (9 senior, handful more academy) and have signed 4 - one of whom is academy and another, from reading URC match threads, might be the worst centre in South Africa

Yeah I'm comfortable now, still need a TH since Cole retired but generally happy

JOC adds experience
Bailey, Haffar, GHW all promising youngsters (23 years old)
Moro getting international experience with Argentina

11 incoming in total and Foreshaw expected as defence coach really happy comparing to what we had next season a few weeks ago

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Has anyone checked on Charlie Titcombe? Has gone from 1st to 4th choice 10 in a matter of hours.

Can relate. We really don't want Reiko here.

Ruck suggesting Hoskins Sotutu our first signing.... ...well thats made me laugh

 

[Crash Hamster]

Is it april fools....?

Ruck suggesting Hoskins Sotutu, who is England qualified, our first signing.... ...well thats made me laugh

You forgot the obligatory...


Also, hasn't he been linked with absolutely everybody?

 

[Groundhog]

Billy Burns to Japan. Sayōnara King! To think he could have been the greatest 10 in English rugby history and top 100 in Ireland!

All we are is dust in the wind
