Re: Tigers v Worcester
Although I haven’t seen the games the commentary sound distinctly similar last year, joe ford seems to have been singled out a lot and I’m sure when he was signed as much as to appease George I’m sure it was thought that he’d have toomua out side him calling the shots and taking the pressure away. A...

Re: England v Samoa
I think positions within a team are far more interchangeable than they once were. Particularly the back 5 of the scrum. I think perhaps EJ is concerned that we may not have enough flankers at the required level come 2019, which is very possible, and is trying to be prepared by giving Itoje plenty o...

Re: England v Samoa
Some of this is fine for experimentation, but I do find strange that they persist with Itoje in the back row. He's a world class lock but at international level he's a makeshift back row. England may have quality locks in abundance but I'm not entirely convinced that shoehorning them into other pos...

Re: Tigers v Worcester
Like most on here upset from a tigers point of view but made up that genge is in the match day team, completely deserved he’s having and amazing season. I’m just wondering where’s he playing/covering as both mako and Marler have also been retained.

Re: Tigers v Worcester
Sky sports mention Te’o one of the 9 released back to there club, hopefully he was rehabbing with them, as I don’t fancy him running at our possible back line.

Ravai fatiaki
I have seen on the squad list is ravai fatiaki, who after looking him up is a 30 year old FIJI centre. Does anyone know when he signed as I hadn’t heard, is it short term and does anyone know what he’s like as a player I’ve never heard or seen anything of him.

Re: Tigers v Worcester
I go with a similar time to last week, think you’ve got to keep Harrison and j ford together they need game time together they’re going to be the partnership for the six nations even if George doesn’t start he’ll be in the squad, also bring back on tait adds the second distributor. And we need to fi...

[quote=JP14 post_id=677297 time=<a href="tel:1510676907">1510676907</a> user_id=12219] I think Tigers could experiment with a centre combo of Thacker and Owen. Genge can come off the bench and so can Fitzgerald. Thacker not there yet Owen to start with either Tait or Smith [/quote] I thin...

Re: Genge, Lozowski and Kruis sent back to clubs!
Absolutely crazy decisions, I would say genge is now 1st choice better than mako in the scrum and better than marlar in every way, he is absolutely England’s future prop so should be getting 2 years experience before the World Cup. It’s hard to argue eddy and his record but there have been a lot of ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2017/18 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 2!!
It's sad but he clearly wants first team rugby at hooker. He's an exceptional all-round talent as a '2 / emergency 7' but, as a specialist hooker, the best he could hope for is 3rd behind OTY and Taf. McGuigan needs to push on after maybe not quite meeting expectations yet. I thought there where ti...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2017/18 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 2!!
Or becoming a 7? The problem with that is the same as with hooker we have better specialists in those positions, being great around the park can’t make up for it, as long as he’s at tigers the best he can hope for is as an impact player off the bench. It would be great to hang on to all our home gr...

Re: Tigers vs Falcons
Just watched the match back on the premiership website, it seems much the same as last week blew them away in the 1st half then seem to take the foot of the gas and just go to one up running and all the backs play was very lateral, players just drifting with taut and smith knowing there just going t...

Re: Tigers playing for England
If Daly is injured who does EJ replace him with. A Back 3 player, my pick would be Rokoduguni (Wade’s defence has been pathetic and nonexistent) or a centre like Joe Marchant who’s is the other form 13 in the country and definitely deserves his chance with England. Not that I disagree with your tho...
