Leicester Tigers

[[quote]On the other hand Jack Roberts, George Catchpole, Will Evans, Harry Thacker and Harry Wells all qualify as recent graduates and there are more senior players like Ben & Tom, Matt Smith, Tom Croft, Dan Cole, and Manu. I make that eleven of the current full squad of 38, so around 30%. How ...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/37752353 When I see the young players we have let go over the last 3 to 4 years playing well for other Premiership cubs, I often wonder what is our Academies purpose as over that period only Evans and Thacker have made it to the fringes of the matchday squad. ...

George Ford, Alex Lewington, Charlie Walker spring to mind but as you say the more worrying point we are not producing more talent, also not letting them obtain more 1st team experience surely they should be using at least one young player from the academy against the lessor teams at home the likes ...

Any playler who can hold a ball without dropping it! That would be a good start

Yesterday's handling made Leon Lloyd look like Tefal man!

Tigerburnie not irony just fact. These young warriors you talk about are not going to learn only one thing if we kick the ball to the opposition, that is they will learn how to defend, may be why parted ways with Burke, no ideas in attack whoever is on the park!

Kick the ball away to the opponents we' ve been doing it all season! So why change!

Very amusing.

This has been discussed before. You come to a live game to watch it live. If you want to see it on a big screen buy a big TV at home. I would rather the club spent £100,000 on players or players welfare than on a big screen. As for not being able to see from the terrace that is your choice to stand...

Watched the Gloucester game yesterday and noted some very nice shiney screens to watch replays. Which I thought was nice for the club to assist their one eyed fans in the shed! :smt002 Will the Leicester Board see fit to do the same at Welford Road? They have created some room now that they have evi...

Quality control at the Mcvities Biscuit Factory?

Some of the tries Barry Evans scored especially against the Barbarian...

OK, never been to Nottingham before so will search out the pub you mentioned, many thanks

Due to the absurd kick off time this Saturday and being stuck in Nottingham for the weekend. I have therefore had to give my season ticket to a mate as I can't attend. Obviously I don't want to miss the game, so therefore does anybody know of any pub's in Nottingham City Centre, which have ESPN and ...
