Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
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...

I would be interested to see how recruitment has been impacted by the TV deal. From what I have read, clubs are getting a fair chunk less under the new deal and so we will see if that impacts recruitment across the board. I think Bristol have already said that spending plans have been reduced as a r...

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...

Re: Not a new kit Launch.... Tigers Together membership
Personally I don't have a problem with this, does it further segregate supporters? Possibly but I don't see how its any different to season tickets and certain supporters being allowed to go to forums etc while others wouldn't even know they were happening. We've seen in the past that cash flow has...

didn't the A league fold as it was too costly? Could have been an issue, I also seem to remember teams pulling out of matches last minute in its last few years as players were called up to the main squad. maybe there is a way prem sides can field academy + sides in tier 3 or so to give these academ...

It is a failure of the system that cannot find game time for players beyond the age of eighteen. Obviously young players need games to continue development and equally obviously they have to be ready to move on to create space for the next year group. Why on earth is it beyond the ability of the RF...

I disagree. If you've got multiple threats in the pack it becomes very difficult for the opposition to target your breakdown threat and mark them on game. The Irish national team being a great example of this where so many of them are great over the ball but also physical on both sides of the ball....

Radio silence on George Martin still. Given his prolonged absence I reckon we won't see him again this season, sadly. The "hint" on RL was he was very close for the Saints game...think at present he had played for England more than Tigers this season. Certainly shouldn't be going on tour ...

Apparently some interesting selection news out of Northampton at 12…. Now you're being a tease, Elliott... Initially read it thought ahh maybe they have picked up an injury at Inside Centre, then realised you meant the time... so it's all 23 the surprise could be... Surely they can't be resting sta...

Seeing pictures of Ben Youngs out on PR duty again today. Injured or third choice/waterboy again. Or often Thursday is rest day before Captains run on Friday Agreed but you would also not expect the weekend squad to be sent out on club PR duty on a rest day. That is normally a job reserved for inju...

Find that very strange as Andrea stated that we would spend up to the cap. We must have knocked at least £1M off the wage bill with those departures and even if the 3 new signings + contract renewals amount to the same the cap has gone up by £1.5M so either Andea has mislead us or their are more si...
