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

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

Re: Leicester City Owners - Rugby investment
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?

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022
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 ...

Re: Black Lions match
On Monday night, the panel made the point that one of the biggest challenges they face is to bridge the gap between Under 18's and First Team senior rugby, with the gap being so massive. This is something also made tougher without any A League like we all remember. To bridge this gap they want the ...

Re: Black Lions match
Think I'm right in saying teams are announced 10 this morning With it being a friendly, there is no set time for the teams to be released.... They sent an email saying they'd be released today, I thought it was noon but it might be ten am. I think people need to be prepared for this to be quite a c...

Re: Craze for alternative club names
I agree. If your club has history don't meddle. If your club has no history nobody gives a monkeys because it has no association with the team. Who on earth gave the sharks handle to Sale? Doubt many get up the ship canal! I think it was their then owner who was a big fan of West Side Story, so the...

Sorry that Whitley took flack from the fans, he is young but the question is why did he come over to the Crumbie and argue, he should have stayed away over in the middle? Presumably he came over to thank the fans for attending the game, copped an earful, and responded, as emotions were no doubt hig...

Thom Smith was the one I had in mind he has had impressive showings for Doncaster but no one has signed him higher yet He signed for Jersey in the summer and doesn't appear to be playing anywhere at the moment, which is a massive shame. The kind of solid player who should be able to build a career ...

Re: Doom and Gloom
If the season ends as some fear it will be our third worst season in league rugby, the third worst in my lifetime. In our last 9 games we have: lost by 33, 17, 10, 14, and 23. And one where we threw it away on the final play to lose by 2. We've beaten: A championship team by 8 with a last second sco...

Does playing university rugby at age 20 mean you're destined to be a Premiership player? What about the other players in the Loughborough team, do they all have pro contracts with Premiership clubs? I haven't seen him play, apart from that 10 minutes vs Bedford - how promising is he? Well he's in t...
