Leicester Tigers

Argentine website saying Cordero and Gigena set to join Tigers for beginning of 2018. Interesting if true.

Tigers need to go back to playing a proper 7 at openside, let it be Evans, O’Connor or Ryan. We desperately need some more mobility in there. Hamilton in my mind is more of an 8 where I think he plays his best rugby. So we should start rotating him with Kalamafoni so they both remain fresh. Ryan bei...

No harm in starting Wells and Evans, will give them good experience against a massive pack. Will only learn from it and shows we’re investing in the future. The pack I would pick:

1. Mulipola
2. Polata-Nau, give Youngs a break
3. Cole
4. Wells
5. Kitchener
6. Hamilton
7. Evans
8. Kalamafoni

Some good things, some bad things. In the grand scheme of things at the moment a loss at home to Saracens isn’t a surprise sadly. Front row played well and given all his critics thought Kitchener has been getting each week, putting in some decent shifts. Normally a massive fan of Williams, but for a...

How can people blame MOC when we are missing a forwards coach. Also wouldn’t mind Murphy leaving, sad truth is he only got the gig cos he’s an ex Tigers great. Great player, not coach. Handling has been awful with him in charge as skills coach. That’s hardly MOC’s fault, Murphy was already there whe...

Given that Saracens whilst off form are arguably the best side in Europe, a loss is hardly unexpected. Every realist could have predicted the result, doesn’t make us a bad team, just they were better. No shame in that. If we don’t make the top 4, it won’t be this game or next weeks game away to Exet...

Ha Lewington is so bad in defence and under the high ball. For every great try he scores he concedes at least one! Beginning of the season he has the worst stats in the whole of the premiership.

I’m fed up with the criticism of a big No8, it’s just that everyone on here are inpatient reminiscing folk who don’t appreciate the potential of Mapapalangi On another note, Gary Gold has compared our potential new signing Spencer to Bakkies Botha, but then again Brad Thorn said Kitchener was the n...

Do feel a bit sorry for MOC, his two best opensides in Ryan and O’Connor are either injured or just coming back from injury. Plus as much as I rate Evans, wouldn’t want him playing against Sarries atm, needs to add some weight first.

Fitz probably is more of a 6 than lock. But is he better than Mapapalangi and Williams? If he isn’t then he’s probably on a lot of money for 3rd choice.

If you wanted a pack to win the premiership, would need. 1. Genge 2.TPN 3. Cole 4. Spencer? 5. ??? 6. Kalamafoni 7??? 8??? So yeah missing 4 players out of 8. Bateman, Youngs, Barrow, Wells, Mapapalangi, Williams and Hamilton are all good strength in depth with Evans coming through. Kalamafoni has t...

Sounds harsh but would like to see the Mauger appointments in the forwards leave, such as Fitzgerald and O’Connor. By no means bad players just don’t think they suit our style or the way we want to play going forwards. Traynor and Baumann have shown they aren’t up to the level so need to go and Cill...

Tigers should be looking to win this. Some big names missing from Sarries especially in the pack, nothing to fear from that unit. Barritt will also be a big miss defensively. As this is at WR we should be looking for the win. Our pack will have to front up and get some quick ball going. Their bench ...

Once upon a time Kitchener was the form lock in the premiership and topped the line out stats, hence was picked in the EPS. For some reason he hasn’t been at the top of his game but I have no reason to believe he can’t get back to that level again. I can see why MOC sticks with him at the minute, pr...

Mafi and Spencer would be a good start. Would love the Spencer rumour to be true.
