Leicester Tigers

Think there’s excitement - with Kata, Perese, Kelly I’m struggling to think of another premiership club with a better set of centres. And we’re rumoured to be bringing in a fourth. But with all things it’s also counterbalanced by the fact that Wiese is going with no real like for like replacement. ...

Agree 100% with this Agree the planning this year does seem to be have been poor. Normally we’re told that recruitment is done and dusted by December for the next season. But it appears we’re still talking to the likes of Simmonds, Marchant etc If you think about Wiese leaving, T Willis, CCS, Merce...

The club really needs to pick up some more promising young players More planning and we might have been able to have signed CCS to replace Wiese, Louie Johnson to back up Pollard. Like we should have seen Irish failing and had a talk with Wiese about his future, if he wasn't going to commit to a lo...

SB basically had his first season as a free shot, so I think the same should be afforded to DMK. Agree with other comments, we were massively affected being a WC year and have probably done okay overall. That being said, the two results against Gloucester did make me massively question the direction...

Like others have said happy to almost write this season off with a new coach, WC year etc. Think that’s fair as SB basically had one season to bed in new systems / players and we were no better then in that first season than we are now. I think it should also be said that with three clubs going unde...

With Rogerson and Cracknell staying I do hope McKellar trusts them more next season and rotates better. There have been times with Liebenberg and Reffell that he’s definitely played them when they could’ve done with a rest. Cracknell showed against Leinster he’s got the ability and Rogerson played p...

I agree - I’d be shocked to see 4 new signings yet to be announced. We were always rumoured to be bringing in 2 new centres. Given Porter and Scott leaving this is almost a certainty now. Other than that I’d hope we’d bring in another 8. Simmonds would be a great signing and maybe long term look to ...

I’m kind of glad Nic Dolly is leaving. He’s too good not to be playing regularly in the premiership. But at Tigers he would’ve been struggling for time on the pitch. Deserves to be in a 23 regularly.

Leaves us three senior centres so the rumours of bringing someone else in must be true.

Sarries are pretty stacked in the centres now Yeah I don't see him going there now. I wonder if they had a choice between Spink and Marchant and went with Spink. Marchant makes sense if we are losing Porter. If Porter is staying it becomes harder to justify signing him. Perese, Porter and Marchant ...

Spink joins Saracens. Good signing for them given Lozowski is going to be playing more 10. Apparently he’s on England’s radar too.

For me this kind of reminded me of Scotland England in the six nations. Things didn’t click but there were definitely positives. The pack did pretty good all things considered. Cronin probably had his best game yet and showed what he can do. Liebenberg back to his best. Cracknell playing in his best...

We won two European finals playing two fullbacks at 14&15. Think we need to stick to Steward and Shillcock together for the rest of the season and probably next. Steward chasing kicks could be a real weapon like Roebuck is for Sale. Hopefully next season Kelly finds his mojo with Perese and poss...

Personally don’t get this move Steward to centre idea. Agree with everything people have said about the shift on a 15 to a secondary playmaker. Steward isn’t sat with his head in the sand. SB will have said why Furbank came into the 15. Steward used to play 10, so no doubt he’ll work on that park of...
