He was never going to say otherwise was he?
He could have said nothing at all, or he wasn’t that aware of him

Err, I think that's exactly what it's designed to do.

Re: Not a new kit Launch.... Tigers Together membership

Out of interest, and this is not having a pop at anyone, I am just interested. How often do we have an allocation that is taken up solely by season ticket holders. Is it a regular thing or does our allocation often end up passing down to the general fan base. A wider question could be if there are ...

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022

For me I would rather we went for younger options such as Ward and Mee, rather than a player nearer the end of his career such as Moroni. There is more than enough experience in that back line plus the anticipated arrival of Hewat. An extra reason to keep Mike Brown around too to mentor some youngst...

Re: Not a new kit Launch.... Tigers Together membership

It does make me smile when I read about long term supporters worrying about a chain of hypothetical events that hasn’t happened yet, and may well not happen, to justify their claim that a 2 tier supporter system is being created and long term supporters are being dis guarded. Be a lot easier if peop...

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

Think it’s difficult to judge Hanro as he’s not had the best of seasons. But if you’ve got Martin, Henderson, Chessum 456 then he’ll do just fine off the back of the scrum. Also if he’s targeting 8 for next season then he can always put on some pounds in the off season. I don’t think it’s his size ...

Re: Hanro on Englands Radar.

There are games when you want your best forwards on the paddock at the same time in which case Henderson Martin as locks Chessum at 6 Hanro at 8. I think it’s also worth noting how Sarries use their bench, with often McFarland or Gonzalez coming off the bench to great effect. Depending on Beets deve...

Re: Hanro on Englands Radar.

I can see Itoje and Martin being second row foe England for the next few years barring injury with Chessum at 6. Chessum may want to play 6 at club level which could be tough for Hanro unless he moves to No8. I hope we play Chessum in the best place for the club not England. TBH there are a lot of ...

Re: Challenge Cup Final: Gloucester v Sharks

With reference to the game Sharks won at Connaught yesterday and it looked like they had rested a few, and safe to assume the whole squad will be up here. After some of my predictions yesterday, Saracens would over power Sale !!, I’m reluctant but believe Gloucester won’t get within 15 points of a ...

Re: Tony O'Reilly Obituary

Showing my age, but I well remember watching him at Welford Road. Am a tad surprised that the Club havent commented on their most famous ever winger, still the biggest outright try scorer for the British Lions. Not wanting to split hairs as it’s a sad loss but most famous ever winger? Most fans won...
