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

It's a short career and he's no roots over here, so if he can earn a load more money playing in a top French team, who can blame him?! Providing he plays his heart out for Tigers whilst contracted here, which I have no doubt he will do!!! My favourite player, he will be sorely missed, let's hope he...

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

Australian press reporting the Harry Potter is very much on Eddie Jones' radar and off to Western Force. Presume this would be a precursor to inclusion in the Aus RWC squad. Could be the lever that allow's Watson to stay. https://www.theroar.com.au/2023/05/22/exclusive-salakaia-loto-signs-with-rebe...

Re: 6 Nations 2023

The correct decision according to the letter of the law, which happens to be where I feel the problem is - it turns it into a bad decision. I have to say though, super proud of Freddie - walked straight off without arguing the toss. This is something that annoys the hell out of me - players arguing ...

Re: Tigers post Borthwick - next Head Coach?

My goodness, spare us Rassie’s tantrums please. I’m fairly certain no referee goes out to make bad decisions and to cheat teams. Please be mindful that player and coaches make mistakes, just as referees do, not intentionally. The antics of Rassie is, and will, have a massive impact on grass roots re...

Re: Tigers post Borthwick - next Head Coach?

Just catching up with the days news so, apologies if this thought has already been presented.

Does the fact that the club has announced WW and AW leaving mean they’ve got an announcement up their sleeves?

Popcorn Wednesday anybody?

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 - Prisoner of Oadby Pre-Season

So, if Townsend is incoming, and he would like Wilson on his coaching staff, could some of the RFU money be spent on ensuring Wilson doesn’t make it on to the Quins coaching roster for next season?

Re: Tigers post Borthwick - next Head Coach?

For what it’s worth, if you go with a completely new coach, from outside of the organisation, you are going to have another squad reshaping period. If you go with a coach from inside of the organisation, one that adheres to the previous coaches philosophy, then that could mean a seamless transition....

Re: Tigers post Borthwick - next Head Coach?

If RFU don’t go for Robertson, he must be fair game for us "The Crusaders head coach is contracted until the end of 2024, but has a clause which allows him to take an international job if he is not offered the All Blacks position by the end of the 2023 Rugby World Cup." While it would be ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2021/22 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACTS: Aled Walters and the Philosopher's Stone

Rugby Paper stating that Anthony Watson has a straight up choice between Tigers and Bath. Will he go for the comfy route or will he put himself out of his comfort zone? Guess time will tell.

Rugby Paper has now printed the story that Cokanasiga has signed for us - admittedly whilst repeating that Nadolo is still leaving us in the summer. Guess we’ll find out in due course.

Props who can scrummage both sides

Being a scrum half and, having no ideas about the dark arts, I found this article to be incredibly interesting. Had Nephi on my mind whilst reading it.

Re: BRISTOL (H) - 5th June 2021

Whilst I’m extremely disappointed by the way that ended - not well handled by the officials. I’m a little confused as to why Tigers didn’t kick to touch, their line out was rock solid with Montoya and Lavinini on the field. The maul would have given us greater odds of the try for me. That or as Scot...
