Leicester cult hero on the move

According to a report in The Rugby Paper, Leicester’s versatile front-rower Logovi’i Mulipola could be on his way out of Welford Road.

Mulipola has been with Tigers since 2013 and has accrued well over 100 appearances for the East Midlands side, with his ability to cover both loosehead and tighthead highly valued by former director of rugby Richard Cockerill.

Now 31 years of age and coming off the back of a handful of injuries, Mulipola’s role at Leicester has become less of a starring one and one more centred around providing depth and competition.

Sale Sharks are reportedly interested, with their options in the front-row thinner than they would like, but there are also several Top 14 clubs interested in the Samoan, with Toulon, Clermont Auvergne and Castres leading the way for his signature.

Mulipola, whose contract expires in the summer, has reportedly not been offered a new deal yet and if those interested teams are willing to pay him the kind of salary reserved for a regular in the matchday 23, it is possible Leicester won’t make any offer at all.

Leicester fans will be sad to see Mulipola go if he does decide to take up an offer elsewhere, as the 20-times capped prop has become a cult hero at Welford Road and played key roles in some of Leicester’s most memorable moments over the last five years.

With Ellis Genge set to return from injury and Dan Cole recently having agreed a new deal at the club, Leicester’s first choice front-row is in good shape, whilst depth is currently provided by Facundo Gigena, Kyle Traynor, Chris Baumann, Michele Rizzo, Pat Cilliers, Ben Betts and Joe Heyes, so there are plenty of options at the Tigers should Mulipola move on.

Email: prowizardgilbertrecovery(@)  engineer.comWhatsApp: +1 (920) 408‑1234Telegram: https://t.me/Pro_Wizard_Gilbert_RecoveryI never imagined I’d become a victim of a scam—especially in the fast-moving world of cryptocurrency. When I was offered a chance to appear on a popular crypto podcast, I was excited. It seemed like a golden opportunity to gain exposure, connect with industry professionals, and build credibility within the crypto community. The podcast appeared legitimate, complete with a sleek website, professional branding, glowing testimonials, and an active social media presence.After a few exchanges with the supposed host, I was asked to pay $9,500 to secure my spot on the show. Trusting the apparent professionalism of the platform, I went ahead with the payment. I envisioned the new doors this would open—partnerships, recognition, and new opportunities. But everything changed once the payment was made.Suddenly, all communication stopped. My emails and messages went unanswered. The podcast’s website vanished, and so did their social media presence. That’s when reality hit—I had been scammed.I was devastated. Angry, embarrassed, and desperate to find a solution, I began searching for help. That’s when I discovered PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY. At first, I was skeptical, but with nothing left to lose, I decided to reach out.To my surprise, their team responded quickly and took my case seriously. Using advanced investigative tools and digital tracking techniques, they began tracing the scammer’s digital footprint. I watched as they worked tirelessly, putting the pieces together.Amazingly, PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY was able to recover 95% of my lost funds. The relief I felt was indescribable. Not only did I get back most of what I lost, but I also walked away with a hard-earned lesson about the importance of due diligence and caution in the digital world.While I wish I had never fallen into the trap, I’m incredibly thankful for the support and professionalism of PRO WIZARD GILBERT RECOVERY. They didn’t just recover my money—they helped restore my peace of mind. I’m sharing my story in hopes that it helps others avoid the same mistake and encourages them to stay vigilant in the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency.
