Going to be some opportunities for those younger centres isn't there. Cusick is a handy centre, could suit Bristol well as he's the sort of centre has good basics and could be a good foil for a more explosive option.

Centre and 10 are very thin! A big injury to AJ and we're in the sticky stuff...

Presumably Williams and Malins will cover 10 though you've seen a few 10s go and not be replaced over the last few seasons. Maybe you'll sneak in one more signing before next season.

I think this is right (for now, at least)

As it stands for Tigers currently though one or two more being added wouldn't be a surprise. A flyhalf is expected. Thanks to RagingBull on the Tigers offy for keeping the list up to date.

Brown? Wtf

Given the number of back three injuries we had last season and how much time Shillcock spent covering 10 keeping him around for one more season just about makes sense.

Sure would be a shame if Leicester interrupted our thought-through development and building towards a long-term plan. That wouldn't be on brand for us at all.

as if there's a plan to interrupt.

Brown just managed to keep his number of tries ahead of his number of yellow cards last season #development.

Ideally this is his last season with us and we actually develop some back three players through from the pathway for a change.
