Leicester Tigers

On a personnally selfish front I like it, I am a retail manager so Saturdays are my busiest times and so far this season I've been to nearly as many games already than the whole of last season. The TV people do this so more people can watch the game, yes sometimes it's a tad harsh on STH but that's ...

We also have a smaller squad than the last couple of seasons but continuity has got to be good for the team.[/quote]

I have stopped going to England games at HQ due to cost the last time I went I was sat in the middle of a bunch of women talking about going to the gym and where they went shopping last week and everytime I shouted encouragement I was shushed and told to behave!!!

He was a friend of a friends and my thoughts really do go out to his family.

I can only think HM is still looking to what he can do with the squad, as for Hougaard/Flood, Flood needs to continue his rich vein to be selected for England, may be a reason?!

Damn good replacement to have!

Children calm down before you both get sent to the naughty step.

Once through the riff gives you eight claps, but the last one is in a silence, which I suspect is what throws the clappers! In the words of a clever man &q...

Tigerbob - I agree with what your saying, with no ball you cannot do much but unless he looks in tight games he wont get any ball and eventually will be dropped.
I'm a huge TV fan and believe he will come good again and start scoring again.

I hope he doesn't leave, being an ex-no2 myself I think he will become a great player and I just hope it's here at Leicester.

Fingers crossed KB

Arrives November but will take a month or so to be on form - look how long it's taken Mauger to settle.
I just hope people don't get on his back and expect miracles straight away.

HM will get the best out of him, we need different options for different opposition and it looks like we're getting there.
TV will have to work harder to keep his place, against Wasps he looked bored and uninterested.

I thought it was a given that he was seeing out this season then loking at retiring.

I believe he went to Hinckley to have a run out as a hooker 3 or 4 seasons ago. It was proabably around the time we had Back Kronfeld and Moody on the books as 7s and he wasn't deemed big enough to be a 6, anyway I don't think the experiment lasted very long He came down to Hinckley for a bit but w...
