Has Matt Orford got a contract for 2010?

I think it would be worth giving him an offer, could always use an organizing half.

ORFORD-comlete waste of $$, over rated and up himself. Sheens will probably be all over him.....

Monaghan would be a better signing if we needed a 7....but IMO would throw the mone at Lima or another front rower......In saying that Lote has signed with us already

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

Is Monaghan off contract though?

You are aware that the Leicester Tigers deal is just a temporary thing before he joins West Tigers yeah?

Sacked Wallabies winger Lote Tuqiri has signed to play for English rugby powerhouse and defending Guiness Premiership champions Leicester Tigers.
The 30-year-old dual international will begin training with his new club this week.

Reports out of the UK indicate Tuqiri will take up a deal with NRL club Wests Tigers for the 2010 season when his time with Leicester ends.

Tigers coach Richard Cockerill announced the signing late on Monday night (EDT).

"To have someone of Lote's undoubted class available and interested in coming to Leicester is excellent news," Cockerill said.

"Lote has had interest from a lot of clubs around Europe and the fact that he chose to come here says a lot about him. We're very happy he has chosen Leicester Tigers.


That doesnt leave room for Orford under the salary cap does it?
