Leicester Tigers

Underhill has just signed a new contract, so he's not going anywhere.

I'm surprised there isn't more excitement about Perese, he's got pace, power and handling skills.

Definitely an upgrade on Porter/Scott for me.

Bookies have Saints at long odds on to win (range 4/9 to 2/7). On handicap you can get Tigers +9 with odds of 10/11 so if you think we have a decent chance fill your boots. Saints at 3/10 and Tigers at 5/2 means bookies have 35% chance Tigers win, 65% chance Saints win. That's not long odds at all....

This is how oval insights have the top 4 race...

Wonder if those numbers were based on Russell being injured for Bath or not...

Can't argue too much with that, but if we beat Saints everything changes.

For all the talk of Saints impressive attack and fixed defence... they've only averaged 3 more points per prem match than us (and apparently we are clueless in attack), and they still have the 4th worst defence. We have a better points difference than they do. Saints rightly favourites at home, but ...

Kata to start for me, we've always had more joy against Saints with a big ball carrying back. We're not going to outdo them on pace.

If most of the pack are fit then we've got a good chance.

The difference between 3rd-8th is one win (with a TBP) What is so vital between 6th and 8th that makes it so bad, it is likely to be one single match result swing because of how tight the league is. Yes it's disappointing but why is so dire? Yes, excellent points, and your opinion. Mine is differen...

Agree with most of the above. Way to early to judge McKellar absolutely - there's been some good and some bad this season, next year is where we will see if he is the future. Of course you would get rid of a coach who is "not good enough", the difference of opinion comes in how we decide w...

I agree - I’d be shocked to see 4 new signings yet to be announced. We were always rumoured to be bringing in 2 new centres. Given Porter and Scott leaving this is almost a certainty now. Other than that I’d hope we’d bring in another 8. Simmonds would be a great signing and maybe long term look to...

We are definitely a bit light on ball carriers in the pack, however what's most important is how you use them. I feel that over the last 10 years we've often used big carriers (perhaps more so in the backs) to mitigate the lack of attacking structure or ideas. Reffell running at an outside shoulder ...

Apparently there are rumours that Bulls are leaving a lot of their stars at home for the QF.

Shame if true.

Always was in 2 minds about Manu. At his best he was a star for the club and responsible for one of my favorite nights at Welford Road (V South Africa with my now passed dad). but the way that he left after having spent so much of his time at the club on the sidelines still rubs a bit raw. Yes, thi...

When Alex Lewington left us, AlexTuilagi was still playing as was Geordan Murphy and we had Matt Tait, Scott Hamilton and I think Horatio Agulla possibly.others, opportunities on the wing were limited for a young player. There have been a few young players leave to play regularly at a lower level a...

Guys like Rogerson and Cracknell are critical to our success. You can't have a squad entirely made up by youngsters and superstars, it just doesn't work. Some people might call them journeymen, but I'd call them absolute grafters - imagine the physical toll of Prem rugby without the acclaim or huge...

they are good players but if keeping them meant losing someone like Carnduff who has the potential to be better I think I'd lean towards letting them go, rather keep them though. I wonder what's going to happen with Illione too, when he starts his doctor training he's going to be really busy and ho...
