Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

If we've let Atkinson go to be able to extend Brown until the end of the season, that's incredibly short sighted.

Leaves us with 2 senior fly halves. Cue one getting injured.

Re: Other matches - 17-19th November 2023

There is far less so called ''Racism'' in Britain than in any other European Country. Knee jerk reactions always follow incidents like this. A lone drunken idiot, and anyone thinking one can eradicate it is living in cloud cuckoo land. So, what? Are you suggesting it should just be ignored because ...

It could be as simple as Dickens had a one-year deal, but it's unlikely to be extended?

Re: Eddie Jones resigns as Australia coach

Beggars belief that Tigers have repeated the same gamble as they did signing Borthwick. If Mckellar does go Tigers need to sign someone whose tenure is not based upon foundations of sand and the success of the club goes down the toilet when it gives way again. So we shouldn't hire exciting, upcomin...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

Hear me out but say if the backline was fit but Kelly got injured would it be worth a try slotting Steward at 12? 9. Youngs 10. Pollard 11. OHC 12. Steward 13. Scott 14. Watson (?) 15. Shillcock Honestly I would rather Woodward and Porter at 12 but I just rate Shillcock that highly he's got that Al...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

Underwhelming signings for me. Feel like squad filler. Why Powell and Whiteley when we've Edwards in the wings? Why Williams and Carter when we've L.Chessum? Why Wilkinson and Shilcock when we've Atkinson? At scrum half - I'd expect Edwards spents a fair bit of time down the road at Nottingham this...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 Squad and transfers thread part 2: The Lion, the Wig and the Wardrobe

Not sure if he meant to do so, but in his piece on Quins' recruitment, Charlie Morgan in the Telegraph has confirmed Keiron Wilkinson is joining Tigers. In Pollard, Atkinson and Wilkinson, that gives us a really good stock of fly halves (plus Shilcock who can play there). On that basis, Steward, Sh...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 Squad and transfers thread part 2: The Lion, the Wig and the Wardrobe

My gut feeling now about Watson is that he is to be paid by England from July until the end of the world cup (ie be clubless) and then will look at signing with a club. I may be wrong, and this might be a stupid idea, but I can see this happening, especially as he has just got married... My gut say...

Re: Exiles set for Exile?

How about a 7s tournament in the summer? There are 10 teams in the league. 2 matches each week. Pick 5 venues around the country. 6th week is a grand final. Play off for top 4, 5 - 8 and a 2 leg match for 9 - 10, or even invite 2 guest teams to play off against these two teams. Exposure for younger ...

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022

We may be closer to the full cap as it is. We've had a number of significant re-signings this year, and given how quickly they've stepped up to full international honours, I would imagine the bulk of cap space has probably been utilised in this function. Plus aside from a couple of gaps (Back 3 and...

Re: Exiles set for Exile?

Add a stipulation that no player can play more than 1,280 minutes of regular league matches. That's the full length of 16 matches, so in effect, 2 rest days. For every additional 240 minutes of rugby (I.E Internationals or English Rugby Cup) that removes 80 minutes from the regular league matches. ...

Re: Exiles set for Exile?

I think two top leagues of 10 teams works, and probably works quite well. I'd also like to see two up, and two down, but that's just me, and probably isn't practical in the long term. If NH season stays the same, which it should be IMO, there are 39 game weeks. Take 6 for the Six Nations, and 4 for ...
