He seemed to confirm it, in a backwards way, on a podcast hosted by Juan de Jongh & another South African player. Not quite sure why Bulls haven't announced it though?

George Ford came out of nowhere to make his Tigers debut at 16, maybe Threlfall is deemed good enough to have a breakthrough season next year and will be understudy to Pollard. Disclaimer: I know nothing about him.... Could be argued to be splitting hairs about "nowhere" but Ford had play...

The reason people are disappointed isn’t kinder not being picked over shilcock on the wing, that some what makes sense with Ford, the issue is cokanasiga over him on the bench he hasn’t played wing for us, he’s also only has a couple of games at premiership level, so what is gain by him on the benc...

As Wilkinson was not on our original set of leavers, it would appear that we wanted to keep him and were in negotiations but the promise of more game time has tempted him away. I really hope we have someone lined up otherwise we are very short at 10 but with how other situations have been handled t...

Kieran Wilkinson leaves to join Falcons Wouldn’t be surprised if Falcons came in giving him a pathway to starting 10, shame as he should a lot of promise v the Black Lions but never got game time outside that. He isn’t what I call a starter though so if Falcons is giving him that pathway I can unde...

Women's season ticket launch?

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 b...

Seb Smith was the replacement hooker, I think. Yes, correct. Hit his throw well. First appearance for a senior Leicester team I think. Archie Vanes was originally named as the replacement hooker, did he pull out injured? This is a good result for the club, not only does it point towards a positive ...

I think Cusick and Edwards going does seem to potentially be a case of the club rating Allan and Myall ahead For sure, hope we actually play them & we're not in the situation of releasing them in 2 seasons for the next batch of 19 year olds showing promise! I'd have Myall or Woodward on the ben...

(Just for the history buffs, record keepers)

Amended!

The rumours were we tried for Gallo but Bennetton managed to renew on a long term deal. The last few Puma props to land in the Prem have been pretty underwhelming. None of the Ayerza and Figallo standard. Bit harsh when Montoya is the best in the league at his position, Gonzalez starting every week...

I’m surprised we’ve not used Montoya’s expertise, knowledge and persuasive powers to encourage the odd promising young Argentine prop over lured by a few quid and an opportunity to improve their game against top opposition. If only we could find the new Marcos Ayerza …. Now that was a LH who comman...

Sounds similar to the set up they have with running a Leicester City academy in Thailand. I think the boys study at Ratcliff College as part of it?

Anyway, regardless of your opinion on that I think 6 year deals for coaches are bad moves. Makes it very difficult to manage them. There is College Football coach in America at University of Kentucky, a mid level team in the hardest division of College Football. For a long time he had either a 3 or ...
