Leicester Tigers

My understanding is the board took the decision after firing MO to wait until the world cup finals complete before commending recruitment, logic being there are national coaches out there with contracts due to expire but who are not open to discussions on contract for 2019/20 season. GM has been giv...

Well, in response to why not CEO vs chairman. The CEO runs the business, the club! The chairman is simply there to make sure the board don't miss anything crucial.
Given Simon Cohen works to the chairman I'd like to see the chairman roll up sleeved and get stuck in to delivering strategy and context

Leicester Tigers have Peter Tom acting as Chairman; we're in a situation that justifies the role and salary of a chairman to act, Peter has complete overwatch for how the club is being run, in line with club objectives. Simon Cohen has to go, right now the club does not have crystal clear direction ...

Is this weekend's game being televised? I'm away but was hoping to watch in a boozer in York...doesnt look like BT are showing it.

I'm going for:

Bateman, Bateman, Bateman
Bateman, Bateman
Bateman, O'Connor, Bateman
Bateman, Toomua
Bateman, Bateman
Bateman, Veainu, Bateman

Thompstone vs Holmes when May returns? My vote goes for Holmes every day of the week. I've beat the drum for Holmes to get more game time all season. He had a pretty good pre-season, as good as Malouf but hasnt played as much. At the min Holmes is a very good understudy for May, perhaps capable of ...

This is a great opportunity to show faith in some of our junior players and have them start regular. With YBY sadly out for the rest of the season, Simmons and White must be chomping at the bit, I hope to see Shazam share the 9 shirt with these two young players. Other players I'd like to see MOC br...

Harry Thacker confirmed on twitter that he's off to Bristol next season. Not entirely unexpected, an important move for him and opportunity to perhaps specialise in a single position. Harry's passion and tenacity are his greatest assets right now, not enough though to secure a regular first team pla...

I've just read MOC's latest comments written on the BBC Sport website taken from an interview with BBC Radio Leicester, I doesn't instil confidence that a master plan is about to unfold: "The noise outside the environment is something you can't control." Yes you can, you control it through performan...

I see Wasps have just attracted a world class fly half. Lots of rumours emanating from Wasps at present regards a likely clear out before the start of next season with some big names in the mix to. Signing Sopoaga doesn't equal instant results, it could be Wasps have a tougher year next year should...

doesn't say much for motivation for the players picked when the mad in charge basically told them all publicly that they were only playing because he's given up I was thinking exactly the same during the game and in particular felt for Bateman who was singled out to leading the players over the top...

Nor would I advocate sacking MOC just yet. He should have to the end of the season to prove himself - but that means at least a top 4 finish for me. Failure to do that is a big backward step from last season despite having an improved squad. You have to look at the coaching set-up in IF that occurs...

Looking at the table, not simply points but points scored and difference for / against it looks like we'll be fighting for 6th base on form to date. In no order, Saracens, Wasps, Exeter, Bath, look top 4 obvious choices. We'll be competing with Quins, Sale, Newcastle, and Glouc for 5th and 6th. Sale...

I did hear last week that Wasps are planning a fair few changes at the end of the season with Cipriani potentially heading back to Sharks and Haskell falling out of favour.

We had a 4 point lead and on at least 3 occasions we declined 3 points and went into the corner, a tactic which has been an abject failure all season. For heavens sake win the game first or at least make it safe.

We needed the win and TBP.
