Transfers Rumours

[Peat]

If McGlock goes, its because he wants to and fair play to him - and thanks.

As for Carr... still in two minds about this.

In fairness, we do need to build the squad and he's Irish, dangerous and quite cheap. And gods knows there's talent there. However...

Ulster like their wingers to work hard, come into the line and crash into people. Thats not really Fionn Carr. Granted, he's got abilities none of the rest of them have really - or not in the same amount. But I'm not sure thats going to make up for him essentially relying on others to create him space rather than making space for others.

End of the day, I want him to come. But am not sure he's going to make it with us and would be upset if I was wrong about him being cheap.

And - if Danielli regained last season's form (if he's capable) Carr would not replace him, I don't think he'd get in ahead of Gilroy to replace Danielli and I'd be very surprised (and pleased) if he outshines Trimble for us.

Apparently saracens have signed Huia Edmonds from the Brumbies......

Makes sense, hes just a brown schalk brits

My dad has just said he received a text from Tigers saying Castro has signed a new contract. I reckon he's being wound up by a pub-mate.

 

[lucky number 7]

Do you reckon castro will be leaving then? hes been a great servant to the tigers and I wouldn't have thought hed have left :/

 

[TRF_Olyy]

There's talk that he's off to France,
He is a bit of a legend around the Tigers (saw a little kid dressed up like him - wig and drawn on beard and all - on the tv the other week)

Would like to see him stick at Leicester, him and Cole interchanging is a brutal tighthead combination

 

[snoopy snoopy dog dog]

Cole, Castrogiovanni and Brookes at tighthead. Great news for the Tigers.

 

[Peat]

Being reported elsewhere Duckdee. Been rumoured for the last week. Reckon this is genuine.

 

[Duckdee]

Yep, just checked Tigers forums, other people getting the text.

 

[lucky number 7]

Good news for Leicester it seems.

How long is Murph out for ?

 

[Duckdee]

How long is Murph out for ?

Possibly the rest of the season. Worse news for Ireland than Leicester, from what I've read here.

 

[lucky number 7]

Every world cup the man takes a huge knock ....he broke his leg in 03 wasn't in form for 07 and this time round he is mangled again

 

[Jockstap]

Cole, Castrogiovanni and Brookes at tighthead. Great news for the Tigers.

That's just not fair, quit hoggin all the quality tightheads.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

M. Tait has been seen toing and froing from Welford Road, and rumours are they're signing him as a FB

Poor signing if true, he hasn't played there since leaving Falcons, and has played poorly for the past couple of years.
Certainly not a replacement for Murphy - if they wanted to pinch one of Sales players they should've gone for Paul Williams (unless it needs to be an England player for quota reasons)

 

[Teh Mite]

If Leicester could remould him and get him as a regular paring with Manu Tuilagi however...

 

[Teh Mite]

Let's fuel that fire more as Bath are supposedly having Hipkiss and Irish are having Hape.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Replacing Mapusua with Hape....talk about a step down

 

[Peat]

Tuilagi shouldn't be moved inside. Allen should continue to have the 12 shirt until Twelvetrees takes it off of him.

Tait would be a bloody good signing for Tigers imo if used right. I'm not sure Leicester particularly know how to use a player who's all speed and agility rather than raw brute force.

 

[Teh Mite]

They seem to do well with Murphy and Greenwood was none too shabby either.

 

[Duckdee]

Let's fuel that fire more as Bath are supposedly having Hipkiss and Irish are having Hape.

Hipkiss can go, M Tuilagi and Smith have his shirt now.

Tait would be a bloody good signing for Tigers imo if used right. I'm not sure Leicester particularly know how to use a player who's all speed and agility rather than raw brute force.

I can't see him displacing A Tuilagi, no. And we already aren't using Amorosino.
