Re: Hanro on Englands Radar.
https://twitter.com/jameswhile/status/1792890115632566279?t=7n4wCSC3jaTqi-t99bGJHg&s=19 James the author of the article has confirmed with World Rugby that Hanro will become EQP once 60months residency is completed... That will be a big bonus for us based on hitting our EQP targets even if he d...

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022
Harry Elrington would be a decent pickup for someone. I think he's a solid Prem LH. Not needed by Tigers with Smith, Cronin and Whitcombe. It's nuts to me that Will Goodrick-Clarke and Biyi Alo are both plying their trade in the Championship though. WGC is just a quality EQP LH. Whilst Alo offers t...

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022
A recent SA rugby pod (beyond the ruck I think?) had Jasper on. They were 'joking' about Jasper joining Cobus at the Bulls. It seemed very wink, wink though. Jasper himself has said it's family based as his dad doesn't travel, he wants his kids to grow up around their grandparents. So that basically...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
If Tigers are signing Moroni then he'd probably be surplus here. I disagree. For me this would be horses for courses. Moroni is one of the best defensive centres in the world IMHO, but I think Perese is better in attack... In any case, we need more than 2 or 3 centres in the squad due to potential ...

I rate Wacokecoke too. He consistently impressed me when he broke through in '20/21 and '21/22. Then he's struggled for game time the last couple of seasons. There's a decent 13 there for someone though. If Tigers are signing Moroni then he'd probably be surplus here. Rory Jennings is an odd one. LI...

Hatherell was a Borthwick signing too. He was signed before Wuss went boom. When that happened Tigers actually had the chance to bring him in early but opted against. We've ended up with too many 'mid-quality' players in the pack IMO. As things stand, Smith is an upgrade at starting LH but the loss ...

Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm
At least we didn't do anything silly like picking players who performed against Black Lion or trying combinations that might be needed next season. This is much better.

Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm
I'm really really really against trying Steward in the centres. I mean, from memory, this has all come about because of his being left out by England and being shifted to the wing in a couple of games. Plus the growing social media noise around him "not being quick enough". It's madness i...

Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm
Now is not the time to experiment, Steward at fullback, Shillcock on the bench. Kelly and Scott in the centre with Kata on wing although Kinder is a viable option, last week he showed there was more to his game than just his run for the try, either player could have an impact off the bench. If stab...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
:smt048 No idea if this is practical or possible, but with Jonathan Davies leaving Scarlets, I'd be tempted to have a look at him for us. We need a centre, especially at 13. Could be a pretty good option to bring in as back up to Perese and help bring young Charlie Myall on. We have lost several of ...

Re: Black Lions match
Delighted to get back in and see I was proved so wrong. I expected a very one sided affair when seeing the sides.
Any main standouts?

Re: Black Lions match
That's strong. The centre's are excellent given our selection. Merab Sharikadze is a 100 cap international and terrific 13. Tapladze is a strong runner who played in the RWC. Kveseladze on the bench is classy player. That's Georgia's centres. Which two start changes but the names don't but for injur...
