Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05

One thing to flag is that this will be Hanro Liebenberg's 100th start for the club, so he will get his club cap & a more fancy tie. I think the last player to get the club cap for 100 starts was George Ford in 2022 & before that Harry Wells. It's not been as common a feature as it was in th...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

Let's put it this way. There are three states for a coach to be in: 1) Going so badly a change is needed immediately. 2) Going so well that you are actively trying to extend their contract. 3) Going middling, and nether looking to change nor extend. McKeller has two years left on his initial contrac...

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...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

If nothing else this is the right way of announcing departures rather than some of the previous nonsense, all we need now is more clarity on injuries (amongst other things) & the mushroom farm might need to close. I hope Porter is leaving to play rugby elsewhere. I would take a punt on Manz Snr...

The professionals apparently know what they are doing. It's pretty clear we'll be signing a tighthead prop & lock. We'll probably be fine at hooker but it wouldn't need a massive injury run to end up with a temporary signing. Backrow we could trust the academy for all our needs or make a signin...

Re: Black Lions fixture

Why oh why do they schedule it for Friday night? For those reliant on ever diminishing and unreliable public transport or who have to travel any distance after work it becomes almost impossible to attend. I know that TV schedules force us to have some games on Friday nights and every year I resign ...

Re: Black Lions fixture

I just hope it’s a more interesting match than the Portugal fixture was. It definitely will be. The Black Lions beat Llanelli Scarlets this season in Wales. It will be more like the Emerging Italy game (presuming we pick a similar strength team to that) where they fire some shots at us and give us ...

I'd like to keep Koroiyadi if possible, but if he's not good enough, he's not good enough. Can't keep everyone. The stick Cracknell and Rogerson get on here is so overblown it is unreal. Just to add, Chester Owen i believe suffered multiple concussions in a short space of time, which was a contribu...

Re: Black Lions fixture

I hope we take this relatively seriously. No need to risk the key players, or anyone with a high workload, but a game vs a roughly 2nd choice side would be really competitive. Totally agree, we haven't really done this this season but I'm always in favour of a mixed side in a Prem Cup or Friendly. ...

That just feels like such a empty bun story. Zero meat in it.

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

I would be a bit surprised if we had made a major signing and not announced it already as this would undoubtedly help season ticket sales. I saw that 90% of season ticket holders had renewed already I read 9500 compared with 12000 last season so around 80% Yeah the stat they put out didn't add up w...
