Leicester Tigers

Agreed next seasons player recruitment and retention decisions are unfathomable. How do we even know Edwards wanted to stay? Players are not commodities to be controlled, they're actual people who make their own decisions... It's not so unfathomable that we offered him 3rd choice and he decided to ...

I mean I think the signings so far have been pretty good. The idea they are unfathomable is so typically over the top [quote=sapajo post_id=882121 time=<a href="tel:1713979622">1713979622</a> user_id=9379] [quote="Wayne Richardson Fan Club" post_id=882118 time=<a href="tel:1...

Think the last regular season match is 5th May. However it looks likely that the team he coaches is in the promotion/relegation playoffs. Those finish 25th May, so unlikely to be here before June. Apparently they are in relegation playoffs according to this tweet on X https://twitter.com/rugbyjpcom...

Also isn't Seb Smith in his 6th season?

Senior academy is 18-24 and under 50K a year. Tom Manz is still only 22 this season so technically could have another 2 years in the dev squad Best guess when our new attack coach will join us? Ordinarily would be July but I wonder if it could be sooner? Prob in the off season, as he's still got his...

So squads for next season so far Senior Players: LH: Cronin, Smith, Whitcombe, (Miell, Van Der Flier) Hooker: Clare, Montoya, (FTT, Vanes) Props: Cole, Heyes, Hurd, (Hoyt, Mountford) Locks: O.Chessum, Henderson, Martin, Wells, (L.Chessum, T.Manz, O.Thomas) Blindside: Liebenberg, Rogerson (Carnduff, ...

Speak of the devil Leicester Tigers Senior Academy 2023/2024 Farewells Jacob Cusick, Tiger #2361 Oliver Crane, Tiger #2417 Sam Edwards, Tiger #2363 Morgan Meredith, Tiger #2370 Simon Koroiyadi, Tiger #2371 Some good talent in there Cusick, Edwards, Meredith especially prob backs that could've been d...

What's the logic of reducing senior academy sizes so drastically? To force them to Championship clubs and make the second division stronger? I think that's the logic. I guess potential strengthen the championship development options like what happened with Chester Owen. Less "Hoarding" so...

Apparently talk that the Prem clubs have agreed to the squad limit aspect of the PGP agreement Which was reported 35 senior players and 12 Senior academy players. Might explain the rumours of why the likes of Edwards, Cusick, Koroyardi, Meredith are off. Ok so I just counted our squad (minus the le...

My point more aimed at the start of season rather than now

I guess you also got to factor in how much the likes of Dolly, Heyes, Martin, Chessum, Henderson, Reffell, JVP, Kelly, Porter, Potter, Steward was on then compared to their next contract renewal. That's 11 players who where on basically their first professional contract still at the time who became ...

In terms of attack I wonder if McKeller thought our centres would go 12. Kelly, Kata, 13. Scott, Porter With Kata as a main impact player off the bench But trouble has been Kelly and Porter form both stunk start of season, for whatever reason personally I think Borthwick knocked their confidence wit...

I don't necessarily expect us to be in the top 4 every season TBH. Not when you look at how much more stacked some teams look now the league is 10 teams. I expect us to win pretty much all our home games. But if you decide that any coach who misses the top 4 should be sacked, well we are be in the s...

I mean if we are looking for a number 8/lock type I don't fully care about what they are like over the ball. If we need more breakdown options then we need someone behind Reffell rather than with. You just need one main ball threat in the pack, as long as the rest of the pack can clear out the ruck...
