Leicester Tigers

https://all.rugby/player/ollie-hassell-collins His strike rate at Tigers is 0.4 per game, which is the same as his last season at Irish & his career average overall. I think he's going well and enjoying it as much as anyone. We got him the ball a lot v Quins too, though definitely struggled in t...

On Scott I've seen conflicting rumours that we chose not to offer a deal, so he decided to move back to Scotland & if he could get a contract there he'd play & if he couldn't he'd just crack on with his career & the one on the last page where he decided to move back first. If it was the ...

For me Leinster are failing badly. A similar comparison, obviously not 100% correct ,would be if for us Montoya,Weise and Pollard were English and maybe add in a peak Genge,Itoje,Underhill,Lawrence,Slade and say a Freeman. Have them playing together and training all year round week in week out with...

Of course Ellis Genre being announced as an Ambassador for the Bristol kit supplier shortly before he actually signed his intention to join Bristol was clearly nothing to do with his signing and any financial payment to Ellis was clearly outside the salary cap. The fact that the Bristol kit supplie...

They are brothers yes, I asked on Twitter & the grandmother replied confirming it!

I don't think "cheating" is the right word about utilising the over run area anyway. The wording of the statements here suggests there was a dispute/query about which year £50k of spending should be accounted in, rather than it being undeclared income. Given the Covid era caused many chang...

Sounds like the cap is only going up a season then back down potentially. If so it does make you wonder if this player limit will actually come in. I think that's wishful thinking from some people. You cannot really cut the cap because teams have made plans and signed contracts, with all the nonsen...

Rugby Pass reporting that Farrell and Tuilagi both taking a pay CUT to play in France. Aren't the tax rules different in France? I could be wrong but whilst the actual salary might be less, the take home could be more? I've read that in France taxes are at household not individual, so you total up ...

Yeah, it's even worse than the RIL post! Almost every club had some funny tax on loss business that I don't really understand. Some of them seem straightforward surrendering of losses (like Sale).

So basically the England internationals are missing more games than this season, and we've deliberately clashed our season with the Rugby Championship more than needed to, just to satisfy a bunch of hooray tourists going on a jolly to a team ranked below Italy. The international beast cannot be sati...

Just realised its a Lions tour next summer so my assumptions were a bit off. The Lions first match is 20th June, so the Premiership final will be 14th June at earliest. That means season starting 21st September latest. So I'm anticipating: Sept 21th to 26th October: Premiership Rounds 1 to 6. Octobe...

I’m curious about Chessum Jnr and why he wasn’t picked above Carter in the cup. Last year he was as impressive if not more so that Carnduff in this years Under 20s 6 nations. So where has he been since? Is he injured? Harlequins brought Cunningham-South ( who played in that same team and was argot ...

Interesting if they are the only two, or if there will be a couple more after. If season starts on September 28th the England players will miss the first game of the season, and the two "training weeks" mid season. If the season starts on September 14th they'll miss the first 3, and it wil...

I do understand the frustration and a lot of it is fairly reasonable. That said, I do think we have been unlucky. Last year was unprecedented in terms of losing a coaching team mid-season like that. Also unlucky in that Pollard gets injured a matter of days before the SF. I do think if he plays, we...

I know it didn't go down too well on here when i suggested it last time, but i do stand by thinking that we need to look at upgrading Harry Wells. I appreciate he is a good club man, but the last 2 games against Gloucester he was completely ineffective. Tbh i'd say the same about the Ealing game as...
