Leicester Tigers

I thought he had 2 reds at Cheetahs before he joined us and then one vs Wasps (may be wrong though) Close. One red in SA, the red vs Wasps and then the ban for cumulative foul play yellow cards (3 yellows in fairly quick succession for foul play being effectively upgraded to a red). Found it... He ...

The hearing document talks about 4 bans including this one & "an additional" ban for totting up.

I make it 2 red cards, 1 citing dismissed & the totting up ban. So where is the extra suspension it mentions? They don't deign to list the previous in the hearing notes.

I'd love to know what CVC's exit strategy is. They normally hold for 5 years, but in sport apparently they aim for 10 years. That puts them looking to leave about 2027 or so. Float on the stock market? Non starter surely. Selling to a sovereign wealth fund? Possible, there is good prestige & con...

Just looked through the ealing leavers and saw that Steven Shingler was on the list. Could be a useful old head to fill the bench slot behind Polly. Still only 32, but didn’t ply against us in the semi. Any ideas if he is still any good He's going to be playing for London Welsh in the 5th tier next...

If things are that bad why do we also take every opportunity to say we're going to spend the full salary cap? Things should be addressed on their merits. For season ticket holders this offers limited benefits over a season ticket alone (a new shirt worth c.£75, for the middle level members a women's...

A lot depends on how often we can get Henderson, Martin & Chessum all fit and in the same match day 23. I would think that for the 5/6 spots in the match day 23 for second row, blindside, number 8 & possibly back row sub, if they were all fit everyone would have Henderson, Martin, Chessum &a...

A few bits... According to Matt Scott in his interview with the Times Matias Moroni has not got a contract for next season yet. Coventry confirm Will Wand (promising centre) has signed for an unnamed Premiership club. Nottingham confirm highly rated full back Ellis Mee has signed for another club, d...

Tall and very skinny, for a rugby player, he's clearly stacked for a normal guy. "Natural" position would be 6 but he's played plenty of 7. Lewis Moody/Tom Croft type build. I was impressed with his offloading skills and his game reading. He has been out injured a long time now though, so ...

He'd already be England Qualified if that was the case.

Well he doesn't qualify for anyone but South Africa as he was categorically captured for them in the 2015 Junior World Cup. If he had heritage qualifications to use that route he'd have been eligible for a while now. If he got a British passport (he would qualify for indefinite leave to remain &...

There were 3 academy lads on the pitch at halftime being announced as signing contracts. Did anyone catch who they were? Threfall the fly half from Nottingham High School, Bronson Mellowes from South Leicester a prop & I didn't catch the third one. Did the 3rd look like a particular position bo...

Came across a Facebook post today about a school in the US and something familiar stood out. https://dchs.dawsoncountyschools.org/ I thought Tiger's brand was unique? US schools and high schools do this all the time with brands from all over, I think there is generally weak protection for copy righ...

I don't have any stats to back this up, but it feels like being tall and a prop is much more common than it once was. There was a time when the Darren Garforth's of this world dominated. I'm not a front rower so I can comment on why... has scrummaging changed technically? The other thing to remembe...

So MM where are you going to find all those referrees who were forwards, props, hookers etc etc who know whats going on and how are they going to keep up with the wingers tearing down the field? ,At the moment refs cant keep up anyway and cant see the forward passes. Im pretty sure that Dickson, ha...
