Re: Saudi Arabia in talks to buy stake in Tigers

I can't take credit for this - it was posted by Rugby Inside Line earlier today but does give a (fairly horrendous) view of the state of finances in top level rugby in England: Gloucester -£0.39m Sale -£0.44m Saints -£0.47m Tigers -£1.44m Exeter -£2.38m Bath -£3.26m Quins -£3.65m Bristol -£4.55m Sa...

Like even immediately after releasing 3 locks mid season (Williams, Carter & Carmichael), having 3 senior locks injured (Martin, O.Chessum & Henderson) and one Academy lock injured (L.Chessum). We currently have the following fit options at lock (only taking people who gave played there in t...

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45

I wonder if some of the injuries to say Martin, are ones that *could* be played through, but with this being our last artificial surface of the season, we decided not to risk it..

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45

It was reported in the times this morning that Ollie Chessum was in the top 3 most minutes played this season (along with itoje, Slade and Freeman in 4th) so he has to be rested. In reality, he looked knackered last weekend and shouldn't have played 6 days after an international. With a bug in camp...

Re: 23/24 Injury/Suspension/Absent International List

Very much me readying too much into it but comments like 'won't be playing any time soon' and 'taking a long term approach' come across as very negative which is unlike most injury briefings and you have to wonder whether it is getting near time for him to call it a day. Would be very sad as, on hi...

Quins have let go of Matson, reading the statement he's basically on gardening leave from the men's side of things till the end of the season and is just focusing on the women's development for the remainder of the season... https://twitter.com/Harlequins/status/1773032239887941785?t=YgXGZvmgLIoez8e...

Hurd, cokanasiga. Maybe even Cusick or Woodward when we had no wings. I’m not blaming m...

Personally I am not happy with our Senior Academy being loaned to National 1 teams, I don't think that level is high enough. I think personally the collapse of the A league is hurting us (and others) Championship teams (and Nat 1 & 2) can only take so many loanees that aren't training with them...
