Leicester Tigers

Brown's new deal is done, just needs announcing. I'm sad to see Atkinson go, but when any player becomes third choice, it does become hard to keep them around. A club will always come along and offer him to be first or second choice ranking - something we could not do here. He just got leapfrogged ...

How does this affect Lions tours? Presumably all nations involved would have to field weakened teams during these periods.

I know you've previously ruled out creating a Patreon account, but I'd personally be happy to contribute to the Podcast. It's a real asset and definitely worth paying for.

Chessum's nuts roasting on an open fire.

I am slightly gravitating towards the 'rip off the plaster approach' and letting those who want to head to the England set up go now. If they stay, any poor result would be blamed on them not having their eyes fully in the ball and that may be the case. It would be naive to think that they would no...

Exciting edition of the Rolling Maul podcast this week!

In the Martin announcement it says- "Speaking about the seven new deals..." Does this mean somebody didn't proof read the article properly and there are six other announcements to come?

I'm definitely in the Loretta camp. The strength of people's outrage would be perfectly reasonable if we were discussing a war crime that Andrea Pinchen had committed. But we're actually just discussing a shirt with fewer stripes than last year.

I can see why people aren't particularly excited about this year's kits; they're pretty generic. However, it's clearly an exaggeration to say that they're disgusting.

I personally quite enjoyed the singing. I think it would be a great addition to the atmosphere on match days. Sometimes the traditional nature of rugby crowds is a liability, and this is one of those times.

I'm actually away during the next home game, but I'm happy to pick them up whenever assuming you're local, or alternatively I could reimburse you for postage (I appreciate this would mean extra trouble for you).

I've got a little boy who'd love that. What's the arrangement?

I definitely think somebody needs to print this on a card and hold it up. I'll definitely forget the words by Saturday.
