No doubt Messrs Scott and Toms will do conduct a world wide search to ensure we get a world class owner, and we will end up with a debt laden management buy-out, lead by Matt O'Connor and Phil Blake.

You beat me to this suggestion!

Quality of C.T was excellent. - They were good for that era of Rugby. The game has changed where tackling a player now requires tight fitting shirts. C.T and poor Fran Cotton was left behind.( Like most of us "Old sweats") Ah! but the CT Cotton traders shirts still live on and by magic they still s...

Thanks for the news Strawclearer on the transfers on "old Tigers!", even though Jack Roberts scored against us I would not recommend he returns here, but his aspirations were blown in Wales! So I had a quick scan at the current transfers & leavers of ex Tigers that I am aware of ~ ( yes I know the l...

The ref was awful. One of, if not the worst performance from a ref I’ve ever seen since I’ve been watching rugby. If only referees could be replaced at half time when they are having a bad game, like players can. I would say the same, even if we had won the game. What a shame we do not have red and...

I view the appointment of Levy UK part of the Compass Group as a really positive way forward. With them already holding the catering contract for the Leicester City FC this hopefully means that their already trained casual and permanent staff can cross the road and deliver a better hospitality,cater...

One Club, One positive attitude, One great motivator of those about him and One that should be considered as a member of a newly formed " Tigers Playing Management" whilst Board Members Underwood and Kay consider their input to an horrendous season. Very many thanks Smithy not a lot of tries but one...

It looks as though Conor O'Shea's time as Italy's Head Coach is up as Franco Smith has announced he is taking over!! So where does that leave O'Shea if he knows he is departing? and where is Italy's backs & attack coach Mike the Catt going? Italy's playing record is similar to Tigers so we do not wa...

So assuming Coghlan and Liebenberg join as expected, are we expecting any further back row arrivals? Will Thompson and Reffell be the only 7’s in the squad? Will Denton carry on playing? Will Tuilagi and Mapapalangi stay on as projects? Chewbacca is not the only one confused! Who are ~ Will Thompso...

Sorry..this is brainless tripe. I've packed all my shirts into s parcel and am sending them back to the club. If they've got no pride in the colours why in the name of all that's holy should I. This was a sad day for you Big Dai, so we are not relegated ~ is it time for a small sip of Remy and pint...

Thank goodness that I was not in Human Resources (or is it Human Remains! )

Very good points from Ian above, but what annoyed many of us this season and particularly last night was the persistent box kicks from OUTSIDE the 22 which often went straight to Brown and we know his England records for catch & go and this occurred several times. Please ban box kicks outside the 22...

Our season probably comes down to what sort of team Glaws put out against Falcons, with third already pretty much nailed on (10 points up on Saints who travel to Chiefs on the last day). The Referee for the Glous. game is Tom Foley who we have had mixed results with (at least it is not Luke Pearce ...

...and, in other availability news: Murphy said that full-back Telusa Veainu was making good progress back to full fitness, too, while centre Matt Smith showed no ill-effects as he returned as replacement at Newcastle after four months out with an arm injury. Murphy said that centre Kyle Eastmond i...

I could see it maybe being 1. Genge 2. Kerr 3. Cole 4. Spencer 5. Kitchener 6. Fitzgerald 7. O'Connor 8. Thompson 9. Harrison 10. Ford 11. May 12. Toomua 13. Manu 14. Olowofela/Aspland-robinson 15. Blommetjies (Potentially)/Olwofela 16. TPN 17. Gigena 18. Heyes 19. Williams 20. Reffell 21. White 22...
