Leicester Tigers

It may be just me, but, I've never been enthused by Hanro at 8. His performances haven't been bad, as such, but the pack seems under powered and he doesn't have the ball control at the base that a natural 8 has I'm of a similar point of view. He didn't shine at 8 for us, in my opinion, and only pla...

DT Obituary didnt even mention Leicester, unless I misread Leinster. Just shows how such a wealthy man can go so broke. Always a sad loss. It sounds like he was only at Tigers for a year or two, not really worth mentioning in the context of his other achievements I suppose. With reference to the Li...

This might be an unpopular opinion, and I am a big fan of Hanro, but I'm not convinced he's quite at that level anyway.

I’m constantly annoyed by tbe refereeing of tbe scrum by people who have never played in a scrim in their life!! So MM where are you going to find all those referrees who were forwards, props, hookers etc etc who know whats going on and how are they going to keep up with the wingers tearing down th...

Without trying to sound rude, do you know this for sure? My friend is very well informed and was pretty adamant about this ‘back loading’ I’m not sure how you could average the cap, surely it’s the amount paid in wages in that season, with clubs choosing to have an advantage one season, disadvantag...

I heard no further ‘significant’ incomings, that’s why I think it’s possible we could move some on to bring in the likes of Moroni. Also heard from a Pal at Bristol, something I’d not considered, in that contracts need not be linear, he said some of their players had agreed deals over 2/3 years wit...

If you're subscribed to TNT sport then you can download the Discovery+ app on your TV which will allow you to watch the matches back at any point, no need to record.

I do get that there are nuances to it, trial and error etc, plus many may never have worked under a top S&C coach. The bit that does me is a specific issue was addressed by a top S&C coach only a season or two ago and we’re now encountering that exact same issue again. Surely there has to b...

I’ve always thought it odd, and this is coming from someone that’s never played competitive team sport, do elite players just forgot what was working before? A massive focus when Aled and Steve can’t in was turning around our habit of going away in the final 20, they put it right but now we’re back...

It's also a lifestyle/life experience choice.

Definitely more players seeking a different lifestyle experience towards the ends of their careers these days.

Who can blame them?

Wacokecoke has some exciting talent, but makes too many errors. You never know whether he's going to beat 3 defenders, or trip over and drop the ball.

Sam James would be a very good signing, but I feel like he's got France written all over him.

Not overly impressed with Barton when I've seen him, but might be a good project player at the right price, if he's happy still being number 2. I'm in the minority, but I'd take Billy V for a season, unless we have someone else waiting in the wings, at the right price. I suspect he wouldn't be avail...

No issue with the club trying to get a bit more revenue, and it doesn't look like it reduces the benefit of season tickets or anything else. I'm surprised that anyone is offended by it. That said, I don't see anything particularly interesting in the list of benefits, certainly not for £800 per year....

In my opinion Dickson is one of the top referees in the world at the moment. That says more about the general standard of officiating than Dickson himself. He is considerably better than he was, but he's no Barnes or Owens. Meanwhile, back in 2013... If you can't do the time, don't do the crime!! R...
