Leicester Tigers

I think Vanes and especially FTT will really push both Montoya and Clare for the hookers spot as both are more mobile, have decent hands, can tackle hard but fair and can hook the ball! Henderson has been a huge loss as he is a sort of Tom Croft and was playing very well in the Premiership Cup. Beet...

Sale is/was the perfect opportunity to get players ready for next season as we rarely win there and even the optimistic Tom Varndell thinks we will lose.
Still, I travel up in the hope those that are leaving will give their all: Sale are always fired up against us.

We have, apart from Gloucester, had the most injuries of any squad but recently Gloucester has had a very settled squad which reflects how they’ve done pretty well in the last 6 games. I was hoping to travel up to Sale feeling exciting to see some of the youngsters from last Friday being integrated ...

I’ve said it before so here we go again:George Martin is Borthwick’s go to player as witnessed at the end of the 6 Nations. If sense prevailed players like George Martin and Earle would be rested this Summer but they won’t be. Chessum to hasn’t looked fully fit since returning from England! Get well...

Off to Sale as usual but disappointed in that squad! No FTT for example and why not include other youngsters in the squad: I’d have started with FTT a ) because he’s more dynamic and b) to gain more experience for next season. That pack, without Chessum too, worries me as Sale have one of the best p...

Ben spent a good bit of that preseason supporting Tom and the family.
It wasn’t in my eyes a pre season.
Thanks Ben for what you’ve done and will do for us.
And great to see Tom on the Crumbie v Bristol.

For the first time in many seasons Ben Youngs will have a proper Summer to first enjoy being with his family then a full preseason with Tigers. He has been a great player for us and England and I for one would like to see him play like Manu always does, with a smile on his face, giving his all as ba...

Fantastic effort by the whole squad.

Well it’s not a Leicester thing as Saints’ fans weren’t that loud until Kata got sent off. Best noise in my experience this season was at The Stoop but I didn’t get to the Gloucester Premiership Cup Final! But there’s been nothing like the noise from matches like Freddie Tuilagi’s last gasp try v Gl...

An interesting interview which I listened to last night. Have hardly missed a Tigers v Saints derby match in years I have to agree but maybe that’s because over the last 8 seasons or so with 20 minutes to go the result has been decided. For me some of the other problems is that the atmosphere has be...

Not for me! Sorry, and like The Eden Park range, far too dear!
Might be worth playing v Sale to cause some confusion with Sale playing in blue!!!

Having made myself watch the recording of the game v Bristol I honestly hope we get a ref and assistants who spot such obvious knock ons! The Genge one that then meant Brown got carded was so obvious! Brown slapping it back was nowhere near as clear as the Bristol player who got away with it just ov...

I’ve never seen so many obvious knock ons missed especially the one that then saw Browny offend to get yellow and there was their winger in the last 16 or so minutes who lost the ball when tackled and he blatantly reached out to slap it back! Still, it’s over now! Let’s hope we get some luck in the ...

One step at a time. Not bothered about which European competition we are in as we need to finish this season well. Secondly fitness is an issue, then whoever is fitness coach has to be brave enough to see help: I would as I’d at to be the best at the job for the sake of the team! At Saints last week...

Cockerill always said after any defeat,” Blame me not the players as I chose the team and made the changes.” Did DMK falsely think the game was won! George Martin looked upset o come off and Cole and Cronin could have gone a lot deeper. JVP looked very tired but he has had such a long lay off. Again...
