Leicester Tigers

Just been reading a couple of articles (don’t know how trustworthy the sources are!) that contract negotiations with Freddie Steward may have broken down and he could look for an alternative club next year. This would obviously be some of the worst news possible but it also got me thinking about who...

10 weeks after last weekends game (17th July) is 24th September away to saints - 10 weeks to the day.

hopefully they will be back for that one!

So IF (and it's a big IF, as we know we have academy promotions) We don't sign anyone... this is what I think we're looking like in terms of depth Steward Watson Hegarty Potter Ashton Simmons Porter Scott Cusick Kelly Gopperth Cokanasiga Nadolo Murimurivalu Saumaki Pollard Burns Walsh Youngs JVP Wi...

looks like according to the tigers twitter page that is it for the day.

back tomorrow with more announcements though!!!

I would be surprised if Hegarty doesn't play some part against London Irish. To be honest was a bit surprised to see him on the bench vs Quins we have Burns at 15 and Ashton can cover FB as well. Also no need for cover at 10 with burns playing as well. Think Hegarty will only come on if necessary an...

Lavanini is injured, has some neck paid.

Clermont have an injury list on their website.

Just finished watching the game.. massive 5 points and a hard fought win. Thought Freddie was outstanding once again and is really stepping up in George's absence. Liked the look of our back row today, big carrying from all 3 and so many good tackles/turnovers. Thought the officials had a good game...

Great performance all round tonight! Couple of standouts for me - Burns was obviously quality today and fully deserved his MOTM. Also very impressive kicking of the tee which is crucial in the tighter games. Montoya - unreal signing, just like having another 7 in the team at the breakdown Kelly - ju...

Bit like Edwards in France why would Farrell leave Ireland given the player pool at his disposal and his ability to control how many games they play because the chance to be head coach of your national team and work alongside your son is too much to turn down. For me, being english and having the c...

I would say we couldn’t get too much better fixtures realistically. 4 home games out of 6, got to expect to win all of them, not saying they will be easy but have to expect to win your home games. Saracens is obviously extremely challenging but would be any other time of the year. I always think the...

I could be wrong but I thought chessum played 8 a couple of times before? I agree with the immediate replacement point, but what do folks think about the No 8 cover longer term now that Brink (and Smith) have gone? Wiese will invariably miss matches owing to internationals, bans, and injuries, and s...

Just read a post on freddie stewards instagram captioning a picture of himself, JVP and Ollie Chessum with " a thorn inbetween 2 roses" (JVP in the middle of the picture). Ollie chessum then replied as Judas and his disciples!

this doesn't mean anything hopefully?!?

For me we have 15 Freddie Steward (First choice) 14 Harry Potter (First choice) 13 Matías Moroni (First choice) 12 Dan Kelly (First/Second choice) 11 Nemani Nadolo (First choice) 10 George Ford (First choice) 9 Ben Youngs (First choice) 1 Ellis Genge (First choice) 2 Julián Montoya (First choice) 3...

Problem with both simmonds and lozowski is they wouldn’t be able to be classed as a marquee player and therefore counting towards the salary cap. Therefore reducing the amount we could spend on other players and contract renewals
