Re: Tigers v Saracens (A) - Premiership - Saturday 4th November - KO:15-05

That makes it less likely they will feature vs Quins doesn't it? Given that the last parade takes place on the sunday, you wouldn't expect them back at Oval Park until the tuesday at the earliest.

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

I wonder if there might be a young coach, with a playing background as the orchestrator of the attack of a very successful rugby team, who enjoys great respect amongst & relationships with the current playing squad? It would be even better if said theoretical candidate had recently become availa...

Re: Eddie Jones resigns as Australia coach

I actually think this could be the perfect time for McKellar to take the job: a coach who prides himself on giving opportunities to young players (which I have heard Dan say he is more than once) is unlikely to have a better chance to do so in Australian rugby given that expectations have been lower...

Re: Tigers v Bedford Blues (A) - Prem Rugby Cup - Saturday 07th October 2023 KO: 3-00pm

Tim Hoyt spotted on crutches in the Crumbie Stand last weekend: so injured I'm afraid. Possibly Dan McKellar believes the opportunity to see how these young players (many of whom have been/are on loan) perform against one of the Championship's better sides and whether there might be some unexpected ...

Not sure it will take him long to 'leave' from South-West London to Oadby!

"Handre and co are part of the stand-by players, the 'ready-to-play' squad so to speak. They're currently still in camp with us, but after the New Zealand Test they leave for their clubs," said Nienaber. (Source:News24)

Ridiculous, next you’ll be telling me it’s not (Kyran) Bracken at 9 & (Jez) Harris at 15 kicking the goals!

Englands Woodward at 12 in South Africa is Clive not Jason (former Glos full-back) I think you’ll find!

Re: Tigers' Players in the Media

Timing of mixing up Genge and Ludlams pictures really couldn't be any worse. Understand Bateman's sentiments up to a point but there will have to be sacrifices if the premiership is to actually start living within its means.

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2018/19 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 5

Could it be the case that there won't be incomings to replace some of the players leaving (already announced or yet to be) just an expectation that players just announced as re-signing and others like them will be expected to step up even more i.e. Hardwick taking Toomua's spot as a 10/12 option (Ea...

The club has done its bit in giving them senior contracts now over to the players to confirm that was the right decision.

I can understand that but quite enjoy these 'popcorn tuesdays' or whatever they're called none the less. Perhaps the big announcement is being saved for last or the forum tonight?

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2018/19 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 5

Personally I'm more heartened by the squad as a whole being bolstered by re-signing a number of talented players rather than 1 'blockbuster' signing when lengthy injuries are so much a part of the modern game.
