Leicester Tigers

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...

They do that for loan players so their name shows up on the team lists properly

Dan Richardson starting for Nottingham against Caldy tomorrow so I have a sneaking suspicion that’s who Notts have signed. Could of course be coincidence but given Notts need a tighthead as Jake Bridges is leaving then it seems a fairly good bet. Yep you called it right, Dan Richardson it is. https...

I think 6 match is the minimum ban for that action, and with previous red cards even though the most recent is 3 years ago, I'm guessing he wasn't eligible for a discount
