Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2020/21 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD EPISODE V: Borthwick Strikes Back
Joe Browning listed as a Centre on Nottingham website. Position change or mistake? Interesting! Could make a great Joseph style 13. Strong running game, quick. Can’t comment on his defence as i haven’t seen much beyond some highlights of the U18s - which shows he runs strong! Could be a Moroni/Port...

Re: Away vs Quins Sat 13th Feb
I'm excited, this could be a right old battle in the mud if the snow melts. With Symonds and Marler up front their front 5 looks a good test for ours. Interested to see taute and Moroni defend together - no excuses on line speed with them involved. Another big head to head for steward against a one ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2020/21 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD EPISODE V: Borthwick Strikes Back
Am I right in thinking gigena has only played once this season due to injury so his salary is not subject to the cap calculations this season at all? That probably wasn't planned, but helps with montoya move. Think it makes sense for him to move on for all parties. He is on verge of international se...

Re: Tigers vs Worcester - Sat 06 Feb 1500
Unless our forwards just dominate at set piece, which is possible, It's going to be close. Interesting that wuss have gone 6-2 split with arguably two best flankers on the bench. Looking for turnovers in 2nd half when game opens up. Pennell Vs steward will be real aerial test for Freddie. Hoping we ...

Re: Harry Simmons - Scrum Half?
His interview in the sale matchday programme is worth a read. He says that he pushed to move position pre Steve, after his injuries and borthwick has since supported this. He definitely has a bit about him and his sprinting prowess makes him ideally suited to the modern kick chase back 3. He sounds ...

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2020-21
The rumour of Louis Picamoles moving from Montpellier to Bordeaux at the end of this season is gathering momentum. Sounds like he will be going to replace beka gorgodze who is thought to be joining Bayonne. Both Bayonne and Bordeaux were also rumoured to be in for van staden in this backrow transfe...

Re: Sale game moved - Teams up
Last season (SEP 20) we lost this fixture 40-31 btw, it was away at sale we got hammered by 30 odd points. There were 2 teams who kicked the leather off the ball today not one, so criticism has to be tempered a bit. We were in a right tussle which was pretty even. I have no problem with the kick to ...

Re: Sale game moved
Sale have no Currys, neither of the good DuPreezs in JL and Dan, no van Rensburg and so far this season no functioning lineout. Tigers should be winning this.
Excited to see Moroni against Sam James. Great that Wigglesworth is back.

Re: Tomas Lavanini signs for Clermont
It was always likely given finances and such is his playing style he will have been in high demand in the Top 14. We now have two big wages off the books next season - close to £1m all in you would suspect (before 25% reductions). McGinity did highlight over the summer the wage demands for locks is ...

Re: Jordan Taufua signs for Lyon OU with immediate effect
All the best to Taufua, a sad case of what could have been for both parties. On the pitch - Steamrolling Hogg will live long in the memory, as will his general ball carrying aggression particularly against Glos in the restart, but sadly my abiding memory will be JT walking away from numerous rucks h...

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2020-21
Quins desperately need to upgrade their locks and backrow depth, suspect that is where Lang and browns salary is going - As well as Marcus smiths bank account. Lang is effectively going to Edinburgh to replace Matt Scott with the cash freed up by Duhan's departure. We were lucky cockers gave Murphy ...

Re: Future captaincy
What is great about this conversation is that there are a number of players showing the grit we associate with the greatest tigers players. Long may this continue and credit to the club for getting rid of the players who were just here for the pay cheque, bringing back those like Green and Clare who...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2020/21 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD EPISODE IV: A New Hope
Interesting that Kerr wasn’t announced among the re-signings this season and his last one was in the 2018/19 season for 2 years. I am guessing the following senior players will be out of contract at the end of this season (This is working mainly on the assumption Tigers typically granted 2 year con...
