Leicester Tigers

Kinda is a surprise given Leinster have 3 international 10’s and one deemed the future. All their younger 10’s are better than Ross they just need to actually play them in the big games I don’t see the IRFU evening entertaining it Yes but none of their 10s are Sexton. Frawley whilst young may be fe...

Both concerning and unsurprising. We'll just have to wait and see end of next season

With Ford and F Smith involved in the playoffs he probably is next in line if they wanted 2 fly halfs for training I suppose there isn't much depth at 10 in England these days. I'd probably go for Skinner over Atkinson though. I wonder if Borthwick told Atkinson he'd have a chance at making a squad...

Must say Charlie Atkinson over say Kelly is an odd one, I suppose they want two 10s in the squad but with only 19 players it seems an odd one...

Initial training squad 𝑭𝒐𝒓𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒔: Fin Baxter (Harlequins) Chandler Cunningham-South (Harlequins) Alex Dombrandt (Harlequins) Greg Fisilau (Exeter Chiefs) Joe Heyes (Leicester Tigers) George Martin (Leicester Tigers) Gabriel Oghre (Bristol Bears) Guy Pepper (Newcastle Falcons) Ethan Roots (Exeter Chie...

Seen on Twitter that concussions may have been the reason we let Chester Owen go, as he had a number and there was some concerns about him staying fit.

I heard we had spent up, unless we exit someone, no other significant signings - that’s why he must have a plan, probably academy promotions. I've heard the same but slightly differently. That we have/are spending up to the cap but have not finished announcing all signings yet. I'll also add that W...

Could be financial difficulties. Reading the statement it reads more a Vicky led decision. She's done an incredibly tough job of founding a team and it has been a massive effort, it may be that she is just ready to pass the baton on to someone to build on the foundations and structure she's built.

I'd go for Ben Volavola of the available 10s who seem reasonable targets from a cap perspective. Obviously Liebenberg becoming EQP may help things but we may need an EQP player If EQP is the criteria then Worboys, trying to bring home Charlie Titcombe, give McPhillips another go. I don't think ther...

The hearing document talks about 4 bans including this one & "an additional" ban for totting up. I make it 2 red cards, 1 citing dismissed & the totting up ban. So where is the extra suspension it mentions? They don't deign to list the previous in the hearing notes. I thought he h...

Ultimate rugby lists as a Tigers player at least dual registered. Know nothing about him tbh Highly doubt he's dual registered, he played one friendly game (black lions) which won't have required registration. It was at a time we were struggling for fit locks (Chessum x2, Martin & Henderson all...
