Leicester Tigers

Why do Tigers on their website post the news about the academy lads leaving and Kata’s ban way down the front page if at all it even appears high up on the page, they seem to have a consistent policy of trying to bury this type of news. As Kata’s ban appeared on major news channels and will be talk...

Kata 3 week ban

Can be reduced to 2 with a course.

Interstingly our friendly counts to the ban so it could only be the only the Bristol league game he misses

Also isn't Seb Smith in his 6th season? https://www.leicestertigers.com/news/squad-addition-academy-graduates-2106 So just checked he is in his 3rd season by my maths based on this announcement EDIT: I think it's also only his second season as a Hooker, having been a Loosehead in his first Senior A...

Senior academy is 18-24 and under 50K a year. Tom Manz is still only 22 this season so technically could have another 2 years in the dev squad Best guess when our new attack coach will join us? Ordinarily would be July but I wonder if it could be sooner? Prob in the off season, as he's still got hi...

Although not close enough to know much about his development, it seems a shame to lose Meredith. We haven't really produced an exciting prospect at 10 since Umaga, who left before we had chance to see him in the senior side I'd say Costelow falls into the exciting prospect category, but once again ...

So this is the Senior Academy minus the leavers Senior Academy Fifth Season Tom Manz - extended 23/01/23 Fourth Season Emeka Ilione - extended 23/01/23 Archie Vanes - extended 23/01/23 Third Season Lewis Chessum - extended 18/08/22 Tim Hoyt - extended 23/01/23 Seb Smith Second Season Finn Carnduff ...

Tom Manz kept as the big surprise... suggests he's going into the pot as that lock back up, so probably no signing there.

Apparently talk that the Prem clubs have agreed to the squad limit aspect of the PGP agreement Which was reported 35 senior players and 12 Senior academy players. Might explain the rumours of why the likes of Edwards, Cusick, Koroyardi, Meredith are off. Ok so I just counted our squad (minus the le...

How much time does it take in training to learn all the positional aspects of playing 12 rather than 15? I'm all for trying things out, but I'm not sure it's as simple as just whacking a 12 on his back and hoping for the best. Big gamble, for both him and the club. I spent the majority of my playin...

Games at Welford Road should always be full bore, for pride if nothing else. I've changed my tune a bit and agree with this. Having said that, even if we do beat Bristol at the weekend, I don't think our position in the league will change. Sale will beat Newcastle, and I think Exeter will beat Glou...
