Leicester Tigers

Rob Baxter is THE answer. Look at the Exeter performance tonight (alongside previous seasons) and you see that they are physical, do the basics well and work hard. There is nothing flash in how they play and don't just throw the ball around. They are the perfect example of a very well coached side....

With Mike Williams already released I'd be tempted to put him in the row with Barrow then have Crofty at 6 to target the line-out in attack and defence. I can't see it happening but I'd be more confident in getting good line-out ball, disrupting theirs and defending the Chiefs maul with Croft in th...

If James O'Connor :smt025 gets away without a ban and is released by Toulon* - would we / should we be interested in someone who can pretty much play anywhere in the back-line? *He met with Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal today and was suspended as a precautionary measure before another meeting ...

So RL is stating Slater and Roberts out, Cilliers 50/50. Presumably Rizzo will be back, so possible team; 1. Genge 2.Youngs 3. Bateman 4.Barrow 5.Fitzgerald 6. Williams 7. O'Connor 8. Hamilton 9. Harrison 10. Burns 11. JPP 12. Mermoz 13. Betham 14. Thompstone 15. Veaniu Rizzo, McGuigan, Betts, Kitt...

players Out contract still I think are 1) Rizzo, Genge, Brugnara 2) Thacker 3) Mulipola (Think) 6) Croft (Think) 8) McCaffrey (Think) 9) Harrison (think) 14) Catchpole (Think) 15) Tait some big questions on some of those players (a couple of which are on a fair bit of cap) McCaffrey is with us for ...

RagingBull - Won't Harry Wells be on a 1 year deal? If so he deserves an extension. Must keep - Genge, Harry T, Wells?, Locky, Shazam, Catchpole Keep for the right price - Rizzo, Mulipola, Croft Promote from development squad to first team squad - Worth, Betts Hills, Maksymiw, Simmons, White, C Thac...

An interesting one. A different kind of challenge for Cockerill, working for a Union instead of a club. Edinburgh's main problem is inconsistency, often within the same half of rugby. They can look dominant for 20 minutes and then like headless chickens for the next 20. The Pro12 is a different bea...

Mixed feelings on this. One one hand he's exactly the kind of character we need (IMHO) and he's a very good player. However, I think it would be fair to say he's probably just past his peak and isn't going to improve in that respect. On a more general note, as I've said elsewhere, I firmly believe ...

Brown signed his last Quins contract just before O'Shea left. Apparently he was under the assumption that COS would be staying and he has been unhappy at Quins this season under the new coaching set-up. Wasps has been rumoured if he moves on. Might depend on whether Beale stays or not though. I'd lo...

I'd sooner have his brother Steffan Armitage, now that would solve our back row problem as he has played in all three positions in his career, perhaps he has two other clones er brothers? No more brothers afaik and only moved to Pau last summer. Plus - I can't see how somebody at 5' and not many&qu...

Names? Props, only really seen Jack Stanley mentioned, but that was a while back. No8, Kalamafoni sounds to be done, and I wouldn't mind Jack Conan who was linked a week or so back. 10, no real names yet, other than Flood, or some talk of a mystery S.Hemisphere 10/12. 11/13/14, nobody springs to mi...

From what I've heard the coaches want to keep using him on the wing for the time being. They seem to think he's better suited out there. Particularly if he can improve his high ball work. Care to share a name re the 10/12? I'd settle for Slade Yes please Rob Baxter does seem to prefer Devotto Slade...

Care to share a name re the 10/12? How is Oil Bryant shaping up? Must be at a point where Tigers have to decide...
