Leicester Tigers

I agree that bringing in a wing might not have been a big leap but playing Steward and Brown on the wing was hardly a success. Do players have to be out for 3 months if the injury takes them past the end of season like Simmons and presumably Bassett & Watson? Has to be within the season or 8 we...

When you think about it though how many injury signings across the league was made? Bassett never had a 3 month gap injured Ill be honest winger depth was never the issue, en if we brought in a winger they would’ve made a difference. I would like to know the whole coaching situation and the reason w...

Ben Agbenu not been kept by the Saints squad, he would be worth a look as a dev 13/wing player
Scored a cracking try in the final.

On Moroni I don't think we need someone younger or quicker We have Perese coming in to hopefully provide an attacking aspect. But what we will be missing without Scott next season is a more stable force. Moroni was never that quick a player for us, he didn't make breaks very much from what I remembe...

Going france, but no I wouldn;t

Dave Ewers apparently leaving Ulster I want him but not sure he would fit in with the balance. Unless Hanro goes to 8. 6. Ewers, Canrduff, Rogerson, Manz 7. Reffell, Ilione, Cracknell, Beddall 8. Hanro, Hatherell, Beets, Williams The thing I like about Ewers a lot is he plays like an 8 in attack bu...

The money still won’t be comparable on the whole.

Would rather for example get one of Dura back rowers with a couple of Wells, Carter (when he was here), Cracknell and Rogerson moving on.

Then plug the holes with Carnduff, Ilione and back Josh Manz, Beddall and Thomas to fill up the depth

I didn’t think the landscape has changed that much, the PI super rugby teams will prob make it easier to spot.

From what I’ve seen the French and Japanese clubs haven’t strongly recruited from them either.

The trick is to make better use of scouting the South hemisphere To expand on this. Because to me the end of season is more important than the start. As the current league set up is at least. I don’t know if many would agree with me but I would love to be able to sign a All black on a Jordie Barret...

But the successful teams sacrifice depth and trust the youth more in favour of more quality in depth elsewhere I believe one of the issues that Tigers have encountered is that we're maybe relying too much on that batch of youngsters who have come through the system (Steward, JVP, Martin, Reffell et...

I think that is a good point but one I see slightly differently. In an ideal world you have excellent first choice players with solid back up an developing third choices. Our success in developing and attracting international talent has meant that we are too often left with the solid players are ou...

I guess my question would be, would Cinti and Gonzalez have made as big an impact fitting into Tigers "game plan" ? We'll never know, Hassell-Collins was tearing it up for Irish and seemed like a decent signing (and still could be) , but the lack of an attack has hindered him, resulting i...

Watching Sarries play imagine if we had managed to secure Cinti and González as opposed to Bassett and Rogerson. I honestly feel that the way other clubs capitalised on the 3 demised clubs players compared to us has been one of if not the biggest factor in the swing in a way. Prob only 4 clubs didn...
