Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2018-19
This is true but I would venture to suggest that all 3 are a big step down from Gopperth. True but if they can't play when you've got an injury crisis then when will they play?! Not saying they can't play. Just saying they're a step down from Gopperth. As we play them early season I hope they do pl...

Re: Cortes called up by Argentina
32 years old and not called since 2012. I'm guessing his call up wasn't anticipated.

Re: Exeter team
We're also going to need mobility and the ability to contest the breakdown. Exeter get around the park well for a big pack and are good at looking after the ball.westwinds31 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 27, 2018 8:25 pm If O’Connor is fit, he starts, but if not Williams comes in, is abrasive and physical, which we are going to need on Saturday.

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2018-19
They have Billy Searle and Jacob Umaga on the books as well. Searle has prem experience with Bristol, hadn't realised he'd signed this summer. Rob Miller could also cover at 10.

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2018-19
They'll be hoping Lima Sappoanga is match fit and ready to go then. If he hasn't arrived yet it might be a tough start to the season.Rugbyflanker wrote: ↑Sun Aug 26, 2018 10:33 pm Gopparth could be out for nine months,big blow with Cips gone too.

Re: Final Preseason Game vs London Irish
Unbelievable that Thompstone should be ahead of Holmes , and quite frankly I would play Olafowa ahead of both . He scored a try last night that no one else other than May would have scored - a great talent and we need him to play . Not sure about Williams at 7 , but with BOC , Thompson and Evans ou...

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2018-19
He's there for the whole RC apparently so that means for rest weekends too. So Sale are effectively sticking two fingers up then and accepting their fate? & that is precisely what we should be doing, the RPA should back the clubs is they state player welfare. It is nothing to doing with Premier...

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2018-19
Just watching the RC and heard Sale have released Faf for the whole Championship. I thought someone posted on here that you're not allowed to and risk a massive fine and that's why Toomua was going back and forth. Does anyone know the full SP? It's the rest weekends. They don't technically count as...

Re: Final Preseason Game vs London Irish
Our substitutions between 4-8 seemed to be focussed on us looking at three possible options, presumably for the Chiefs game. Starting; Wells, Spencer, Denton, Reffell, Kalamafoni Change midway through first half; Wells, Spencer, Denton, Williams, Kalamafoni For the start of the second; Williams, Spe...

Re: Final Preseason Game vs London Irish
Tigers commentary saying the replacements were tactical. So shouldn't be anything too serious for Ma'afu.

Re: Final Preseason Game vs London Irish
I'm happy with Hooker, TH and Lock. Really my only concern is 1 and 7. I'm happy with Reffell getting a go. No point developing these lads if you can't back them to come in and do a job. It'd be a big ask to start against the Chiefs but accompanied by two experienced international backrow players h...

Re: Tigers in turmoil article
Things had got stale under Cockerill. It happens sometimes. The recruitment was poor and the inability or the club and Cockerill to forge a working relationship with a backs and defence coach left the club under performing. Cockerill is a good coach and the perfect choice to rejuvenate a failing Edi...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2018/19 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD Part Deux
I think the common assumption is he will arrive next summer and Ma'afu will then depart.Leicestertinytiger wrote: ↑Wed Aug 22, 2018 2:55 pm Does anyone know what happened to Leatigaga? Guessing he has signed for 19/20 season as we couldn’t negotiate an early release?

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2018/19 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD Part Deux
Injury dispensation or straight recruitment do we think? Dispensation. With everyone fit he's fourth choice and in line to be overtaken by Reffell in the next year or so. A return for Peter Betham maybe, he was my favourite player in his 1st season and I was thoroughly disappointed when he gave up ...

Re: Final Preseason Game vs London Irish
I'd let Bateman concentrate on playing loosehead because that's where he's going to be for the next few months until Genge is fit. Cole and Cortes are both specialist tightheads and Fe'ao is supposed to play both sides.Rugbyflanker wrote: ↑Mon Aug 20, 2018 6:36 pm I'd probably bench Cole,start Bateman at TH and give Feao a runout too.
