Leicester Tigers

I have often posted that Tigers lack genuine pace and a ball carrying threat. I thought we solved that issue signing OHC and Watson not to mention Wiese. Strikes me that OHC as has been widely muted is a different player from when he was at Irish, Watson is still long term injured and Wiese is off....

No matter how you spin it the words ""I'm not worried about the play-offs" as well as other reported quotations came from Mckellar. His complete sentence ""I'm not really worried about the play-offs, I just want to worry about our performance." does not magically make ...

I always think on the big players you want them settled down. So on Pollard (presuming his contract finishes 2025) as soon as the season finishes I'd have two offers for him. 1) A contract extension for a further two seasons (to end in 2027) on good terms. 2) A transfer to a SA franchise. Basically...

IDK I'm not that sold on Jordan, he played really well v us, but how much is that coming back to the old club to prove a point? I don't think he would want to come here for 4th choice lock and I don't think he's good enough to be what I would want for 3rd choice. Henderson is def a must keep. Hones...

A lot more optimistic about the game now I’ve seen there team, I work with a few Northampton fans and their not pleased about the rotation they think this should have been a priority game for them. Shame there not Martin or Liebenberg but still feel we should have enough in the forwards to get on to...

Great to see two English sides in the semi finals but I don’t think they will progress any further, Toulouse and Leinster will be far to strong for them, should be a great final if those two get to the final. Leinster are in South Africa for the next two weeks. Saints have to travel up the A50. Pre...

It's not really 12 leavers though is it Joe Powell, Ben Woolett, Mike Williams all short term signings Atkinson moving was basically helping to accommodate for Brown's new contract So that's 4 players off the list of leavers that can't really be accommodated for Makes it more like 8 players leaving...

This is personal opinion, but i think we will only see a centre coming in for sure, as that is the major hole there. TH i think will be covered by Tim Hoyt, which as 4th choice i am comfortable with. The only question is whether another lock or back row comes in. Personally the answer to that is wh...

Sorry do you mean Lewington

Yeah I did I’ve edited it now, I don’t even know how I didn’t spot that

Leinster clearly a good side...but sheer power can negate ability as we have observed with Leinster in the last couple of seasons or so. French brute force mixed with not inconsiderable skill and game plan to suit will triumph....In my opinion Can’t help but feel Leinster have a clear advantage in ...

Has our academy been the worse in terms of wing production? Looking at saints Slightholme, Freeman, Hendy all rapid, We just seem to struggle getting Wingers from academy to first team. Even Simmons wasn't a winger in age grade. Hopefully Satala and Kinder both live up to promise. I may be wrong bu...

Random thought. If Billy V is moving to Montpellier would it be worth a quiet chat with Sam Simmonds to see if he fancied an England return. Not everyone cup of tea I know but prolific try scorer and invariably gets over the game line I think I mentioned Simmons when billy was announced, as I thoug...
