Brown started on the wing for England when NZ were given a battering at Twickenham in 2012, so I think he'll manage against Bristol. Even allowing for Brown's fitness 12 years is a long time ago. He wasn't used to playing wing then, what's the difference now? OK, he isn't as good as he was then, bu...

Alex Dombrant went from Uni rugby to Prem first team. Freddie Steward went from Loughborough Students to starring for us, as did Dan Kelly. University rugby is a good standard, the BUCS league has teams with professional levels of set up. Three very different journeys there though. Steward had a st...

Why on earth have we let Meredith go? He's a promising 10 who's just led Loughborough to a BUCS title, with a kicking tee record of something mad, like 97%. Wilkinson has had no chances and Pollard will be away for a fair bit of next season. Are we going to persist with Shillcock at 10 for those ti...

I am never quite sure about our thinking wrt 9s. We let Ben White go for example…of course he might have wanted to go, but seems a shame given the player he’s become How would you convince a player of White's quality to stay and be 3rd choice on a salary comensurate with that status, given the othe...

Agreed next seasons player recruitment and retention decisions are unfathomable. How do we even know Edwards wanted to stay? Players are not commodities to be controlled, they're actual people who make their own decisions... It's not so unfathomable that we offered him 3rd choice and he decided to ...

Unfortunately--------------Steward wont be considered at Full Back for England unless he radically improves his speed and directional running. Plus his defence isnt that great Neither are Hodge or Carpenter, the nos 2 and 3, but, they can catch and are miles quicker Furbank has improved in leaps an...

All the stuff above it is promoting upcoming matches, which is surely more important to the club than reporting of an entirely expected ban.

Edwards leaving & Whiteley staying is a really poor decision. Agreed next seasons player recruitment and retention decisions are unfathomable. How do we even know Edwards wanted to stay? Players are not commodities to be controlled, they're actual people who make their own decisions... It's not...

Why do Tigers on their website post the news about the academy lads leaving and Kata’s ban way down the front page if at all it even appears high up on the page, they seem to have a consistent policy of trying to bury this type of news. As Kata’s ban appeared on major news channels and will be talk...

Agree it's a silly system. If you do something in a Prem match that gets you banned for 2 games, you should miss 2 Prem matches.

It is a failure of the system that cannot find game time for players beyond the age of eighteen. Obviously young players need games to continue development and equally obviously they have to be ready to move on to create space for the next year group. Why on earth is it beyond the ability of the RF...

Seems a pretty odd decision to let Edward’s go whilst giving Whitley a new contract, he’s done a job but realistically he’ll never be more that a 3rd choice. Which Edward’s surely could have done next season before taking over from youngs when he retires and at 21 sure could only get better with so...

What's the logic of reducing senior academy sizes so drastically?

To force them to Championship clubs and make the second division stronger?
