Hopefully he getting back to full fitness and might get a run out before the end of the season.

Presuming options in the backs are limited outside of the First XV, (Potter unknown), but there are some forwards who could/should have played this week George Martin has hardly worn out his 23/24 Tigers Shirt. Good to see some of the young players but they could do with a couple of "minders&q...

I think Steward should only play as a 15, reading between the lines in last weeks DT interview, that is his prefered position, he also wants to practise what he was told to do by SB and he cant do that from the wing and still regain his England position. We want a happy Freddie at Tigers not one wh...

Excellent news.

The senior development squad of rumoured to be 12 is the odd one. Upper age limit of 24 I saw mooted but didn't give a lower age limit. Be a really stupid idea to limit the number of development players a club can carry if the idea is to push England age grade into action more readily. Perhaps a jun...

Lot of talk about the officials and some of their decisions. We were lucky they disallowed the Oghre try - looked a flat pass to me. I was in line with it. It was forward. Not by very much. Can’t remember if it was the lineo that called it. The same lineo who missed the utterly obvious knock on tha...

Wasn’t Whiteley decent in earlier games ? Seems like he’s copping the flack for a collective effort ? He's been average to date. His commitment in defence is his main plus point. The choice and execution of the box kick at the end was very poor and unnecessary. He's copping the flack for people's f...

Brink was never fit, Nephi never quite had the impact we hoped and same for Saumaki even if he did turn up with the occasional miracle finish. MVS was a great acquisition and it's a real shame he had the concussion issues. Potter is a loss, he was a guy when your back was against the wall you know h...

It's like every club win and the sun shines out of every :censored:, loses and suddenly they smell worse than everyone else :censored:. Same Bristol fans by 60 minutes where prob saying that their game plan sucked and didn't work out. Brown going off and Thacker coming on swung the game. We lost ou...

Two of the players I'd keep and let succession gradually do it's thing. Clare won't be expensive but he's a solid set piece hooker. Wells has had an off season but is tough and you know he'll put it all on the line. Let the young guns slowly push them down the pecking order. The cull I was thinking...

Since Aled went to England we have become a weak Team in the last 20. Those will have a memory will recall how we were once a team who, if they were close in the last 20 we could expect to win, Cockers didn't feel we needed a fitness coach and we became average... Deja vu? Our S&C coach has a M...

Silly me no I do not :smt003 I texted my family and said if he is selected again im giving up my season ticket. Wasn’t Whiteley decent in earlier games ? Seems like he’s copping the flack for a collective effort ? He's been average to date. His commitment in defence is his main plus point. The choi...

A lot of forwards imo are in their last contact now, too many players who don’t bring impact or have lost their old impact. Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if there's a cull at the end of next season. Particularly around the backrow as we look to refine what we need with the next generation coming thr...

I actually really like the look of young Ollie Allan and think he can make an impact next season. (Edit: IF given the chance) I think Simmonds was a brilliant scrum half prior to injury and that put pay to him playing 9 again. For me he is a far better 9 than winger and he should be reinstated he i...
