Re: Manu Tuilagi
Probably time to move on from the "as he worth the money" debate and just remember how much we enjoyed watching him in a Tigers shirt when he was at full fitness and peak form. I remember being at Welford Road to watch an 18 year old Tuilagi smash the South African 2nd XV to pieces, I don'...

Re: Planet Rugby - Leicester to remain in free fall
Yeah I saw that article as well. Embarrassing level of research. It looks like a blatant bit of click bait or headline filler because of no actual news. Apparently losing Manu and Kalamafoni will cripple our side. Ignoring that for the cost of Manu we've signed two international centres (Scott and ...

Ibitoye is nowhere near Wade's ability at present.

Also confirms that On field is his responsibility.

Additionally, that person who is far more cynica...

Re: Transfers and Rumours Non-Tigers 2019-20
I personally think this is a silly move for Ibitoye, throwing away a potential England career to play for Agen?? Well the money talks... Look at who is currently ahead of him - he isn't going to play for England in the next couple of years regardless. So why not take 2 years to earn better money an...

Here's hoping in a couple of years Nadolo is on an equally pointless list of best Premiership signings.

Re: New Kit
I am really not a fan of the multicoloured training shirt, but the other training one looks good and the home and change shirts are great. Am I the only one who thinks Tigers being sponsored by Foxes is a bit wrong? Surely feline pride should make that a no no? What next? The Cheetahs sponsored by D...

Re: Puzzled - Saracens!
Salary caps are not relevant for ERC. Fact But as you qualify for the EPRC tournaments through a league where a salary cap is relevant, surely if you ignore the rules/regulations for that then Euro qualification should also be 'tainted'. But this has been done to death. Agree with your last sentenc...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2020/21 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD EPISODE IV: A New Hope
Kolpak is basically in a real mess at moment and I cannot see it being applicable in UK after end of implementation period, given the UK's discussions with the EU. It's a rule from the ECJ. It relates to trade agreements between the EU and non EU countries. Association agreements are free trade agr...

Steve Diamond: I certainly wanted more than nine games, which was his average number of games for Leicester. “We talked about how we would do that and our driver is to get him playing for England like he does, but also playing very well for us and hopefully he gets on the Lions tour. So not a lot of...

Re: Penalties for COVID Breaches
I'm not aware of any players being sacked for breaching covid guidelines. I honestly don't see a problem here.
Employee given rules → employee breaks rules → employee disciplined.
I'm not a professional sports person, but it's exactly the same for me too.

Re: Penalties for COVID Breaches
I don't envy clubs being held responsible for getting this message across and enforcing the rules with players. When you consider the blatant disregard for government and local authority restrictions amongst some elements of the public, you could be forgiven as a professional sportsperson for think...

With the signing of Weise it occurred to me that our pack is going to be enormous, I split our forward squad into two pack and came up with a total first team weight of 923 kilos and for the second team pack 914 kilo, despite the second team front row being about 20 kilos ( mostly Leatigaga) heavie...
