Re: Please get behind your team v Exeter

Last season we finished 4 wins behind 1st place. This season we finished 3 wins behind 1st place. Ok it's been a bad season, but the league has bunched up and small differences, Sale who yesterday morning were a long shot to be in the top 4 have the joint most wins of any team in the league. We had ...

Challenge Cup Final: Gloucester v Sharks

So next Friday our European season gets determined Gloucester win and we're in the Challenge Cup, which Borthwick showed can be used as a good run building confidence in a squad and their capabilities. Sharks win and we're in the Champions Cup, the premier European competition, where the money is, b...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

Time to just back DMK: he had no real preseason with so many players at the World Cup: attack coach then has to go on compassionate leave: injures meant he then had Henderson, Martin, Chessum all missing at crucial times! Looking at the performances I’ve gone to at home and away games since Christm...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

Without trying to sound rude, do you know this for sure? My friend is very well informed and was pretty adamant about this ‘back loading’ I’m not sure how you could average the cap, surely it’s the amount paid in wages in that season, with clubs choosing to have an advantage one season, disadvantag...

First announcement could be of who has been promoted from the Senior Academy to the full men's squad, of course there could still be a release of two to be announced, then we will.have a better idea of where the gaps are. I agree that apparently we now have only Pollard as a specialist 10 that is a...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

Pretty sure the cap is spread out as an average so clubs can’t front or back load them. Granted they can sign new deals but won’t be contractually obligated to sign or be offered a increased rate Without trying to sound rude, do you know this for sure? My friend is very well informed and was pretty...

If we are at the cap level, some of our squad are earning too much. We are definitely not finished announcing players. What the club have said is they are spending the cap, they did not however say that all the signings have been announced. 100% coming a new centre 85% new fly half Possibly a new l...

Others have said it before on here - I think Handré would benefit greatly from another distributor in the backline. Kelly is the closest we have to that, but he's by no means a playmaker. Kata, Perese and Moroni wouldn't offer that either. Moroni is unlikely unless we lose someone to make cap space...

Youngs was on his last podcast talking about how his season started 50 weeks ago, that's a long time with no downtime due to the world cup... It's pretty well proven that during the 6N break our S&C was not sufficient. Youngs was ineligible for the PRC so he was never in the running for the Eali...

Question, why do people feel Pollard is leaving us? I'm not sure he will. I think we'll try and extend him. He's marquee as such he's paid more than most. I know he's just had a kid which means he may go back to SA, but I genuinely think we have like a 50:50 chance of getting him to stay past next ...

Next season I feel we prob gonna have another little clear out Clare, Hurd, Wells, Rogerson, Cracknell, Youngs, Whiteley, Bassett, Watson, Brown are players I think may be out of contract next year that I would be at most 50/50 on. I wouldn't lose all of them especially not the front row pair but I...
