If as expected teams have got to include two under 21’s in 2027 (and currently Lions have none) then significant changes to 2027 line up will be needed. 
Another rumour is that the points limit will be increase for the 2027 Premier league to make accommodation of GP riders possible. 
one rider who makes it possible of adding a GP rider and including a under 21 is Nazar Parnitskyi. Doesnt have UK experience but does kill two birds with one stone & easy to see a UK team signing him.

For me there's one signing that would make me jump straight back into the lions den and that's Max Fricke.

Can’t argue with that. But for it to be possible then a significant increase in points limit and some creative signings would be required to make it possible. 
of the 2026 team, Dickson will most probably stick with Douglas, Morris & Dan Thompson. With one of Joe T & Drew Kemp being a possibility. So three places needed of which 2 will be under 21’s

I think I’d rather keep on JT than Kemp

As Leicester will be looking for a new rising star in 2027 on tonight’s and previous performances I think Jordy Loftus may be an option as does seem to ride the Leicester track well and with another strong Australian influence in the team could be a good environment for him to develop further .

As Jen alluded to after the meeting there is some very exciting news coming in a couple of weeks at Leicester which will show commitment to the sport
