Leicester Tigers

Watching Sarries play imagine if we had managed to secure Cinti and González as opposed to Bassett and Rogerson. I honestly feel that the way other clubs capitalised on the 3 demised clubs players compared to us has been one of if not the biggest factor in the swing in a way. Prob only 4 clubs didn...

Something Jan McGinty was very good at I feel.

I'm quite disappointed with the way this season has panned out, but if anyone was expecting a smooth upward trajectory from the title-winning season, then they're expecting a bit too much - or at least, it's unfair to pin it on McKellar. In a sense a lot of things fell nicely for 2021-22. Burns, Po...

Advert for the new head of physical performance is live on the website. Rumours of Ollie Richardson's sacking are true then. The most worrying thing is it’s still an advert in May when the new season starts in July… have to wonder if we can get a quality enough person in with the right fit and idea...

Pollard getting treatment on his knee is not a good sign either

Why on earth are we going for the points?

Saints have signed Tom West. Poss opportunity missed for us, there. They’ve also signed George Makepeace-Cubbit at 10 too, he looked very promising in the U20 games and can play across the backline as well as strongly at 10. With us letting go Meredith, Wilkinson and not having much depth at 10 at ...

Even with Shillcock as a covering 10 I still would hope for another prem quality backup 10 to be signed. Someone of Wilkinson’s quality/potential to replace. As others say with him and Meredith going and no obvious other candidate in the development squad we are lacking in 10s. Say Pollard got injur...

Agreed on Steward. We have some good centres in the squad, and some promising ones coming through as evidenced on Friday vs Black Lion. We have limited player availability in the back 3 with some hefty injuries and he’s said he’s happy at 15. Unless he comes out and says I want to give it a go, or h...

I agree, give Kinder a game. Surround him with Steward and OHC in the back 3 and Scott, Kelly, Polly and JVP in the backs and see what he can do. Yes I want to win these last 2 games, but at the same time, let’s reward the performances last night, give some of the younger guys a chance in amongst th...

Given the teams (and without seeing any of the performance), I'd say that's a huge gutsy effort from the cubs. Congrats to all the young lads!

Looking forward to hearing some reports and to seeing these lads get more game time in the coming season. COYT

Another rolling maul try to FTT and by the sounds of it in testing conditions, another sublime touchline conversion by Wilkinson.

21:8 around 15 to go

Two touchline conversions for Wilkinson and it sounds like he's playing well. Glad he's getting a chance, he looked good at Sale and is better than just making up the numbers. Agreed Sam - hope he gets a run in the 10 shirt in the cup early season whilst Polly is away. Wilkinson at 10 with Shillcoc...
