Now Toronto are going to make an offer for the big man . Altho he is a bit passed his best he would still be great in S/L .

It would be good to see Tuilagi sign for Toronto given he only extended his contract with Leicester earlier this year. A case of Denny Solomona in reverse while possibly Toronto wouldn’t have to pay Leicester compensation as they’d be contracting under Canadian rather than English law.
I’d imagine it would take some doing to tempt him away from the Lions tour in a couple of years.

It's dangerous because as soon as you establish that a sports club from one country doesn't have to honour contracts signed in another country then players will be free to move in similar situations. Toronto are a unique case in apparently being a RL club that can outspend other codes, but in almost all other cases the direction of travel would be from SL to RU/NRL.

Going nowhere according to Leicester, nice to see the column inches though

The sport as a whole desperately needs to find a way to attract higher value sponsorship, TV deals and (dare I say it) more affluent fans so that top athletes are attracted to the sport and can be retained. Not sure what the answer is
Might be one or two Saracens available???0
Top club Saracens could go under with this mess. Players will be on their way but to where is anyone's guess. Probably not our game.
