Leicester Tigers

OHC would be our first choice winger, followed by Potter, Bassett and then either another new signing or one or two of Murimurivelu, Saumaki or Ashton.

I'm sorry but that is absolute nonsense Sapajo. What top quality coach that was available and wanted to come to Leicester when Steve & Kev left, that Leicester overlooked? Let's hear it. It is very easy to throw pop shots at the club, so let's hear some suggestions whom Tigers overlooked when g...

15. Charlie Atkinson 14. Chris Ashton 13. Matt Scott 12. Guy Porter 11. Harry Potter 10. Handre Pollard 9. Tom Whiteley 1. James Cronin 2. Julian Montoya 3. Will Hurd 4. Calum Green 5. Harry Wells 6. George Martin 7. Hanro Liebenberg 8. Jasper Wiese 16. Charlie Clare 17. Tom West 18. Nephi Leatigaga...

If you were to say to me Gregor Townsend comes in, and brings Geoff Parling (Forwards/Line Out), Joe Worsley (Defence/Breakdown), and a new scrum coach whilst retaining Smith and Deacon, I'd bite your hand off. Geoff is getting rave reviews down under and is currently with the Rebels. Joe was highly...

Do people not think we can spread out signings? Looking at the current signings I think all are improvements imo I think the hype around OHC, and the suggestion that hes nailed on and signed up, led a lot of people, me included to expect him in this batch. There is undoubtedly more to come, but you...

If OHC has been secured, doesn't look like we're announcing him tonight.

BBC Sport Leicester have tweeted their round up of the signings.

Tbf

Hegarty -> Shillcock
Nadolo -> OHC?
Wigglesworth -> Whiteley
Ashton -> Bassett
Burns -> Atkinson
Snyman -> Hatherell

So that would be Basset, Hassel-Collins, Potter, Simmons and Steward as signed on back 3 options for next season, assuming Atkinson and Pollard will be the first choice fly-halves and Porter is seen as a centre. One or two more back 3 players to re-sign or be signed up? Assuming Basset and OHC are ...

Montoya, Dolly, Clare, Vanes, Theobald-Thomas.

Taufete'e off at the end of the season?

Also, I get the impression the 2 days of popcorn the rolling maul guys were talking about might have been Monday and Tuesday - looks to be a new mascot ‘signing’ at 6pm tonight. I could be wrong, but maybe no more new players or re-signing players announced today. Just to tidy this up, the two days...

Dan Kelly re-signing is very, very good news. The rest are very solid signings, if not massively exciting. Cole wasn't really going anywhere else was he? Henderson, Reffell and Watson would be very, very nice to secure. Henderson I feel will be in hot demand, and at Tigers he's probably somewhere be...

Rugbypass reporting that Wigglesworth will take over. Means we might be in the market for another scrum-half for the 6N? https://www.rugbypass.com/news/the-former-england-player-tipped-to-take-over-at-leicester-tigers/ Sorry but what exactly has Wigglesworth done as attack coach that shows hes read...

Richards hasn’t been properly involved with coaching since Walder was promoted at Newcastle he was very much a figurehead and now spends his days hunting and fishing. No matter who’s fault it was he left the club under a real cloud and should never be approached again. I’d rather they asked Murphy ...

No not for me, before Borthwick incestuously recruiting from within was a Tigers speciality. This is precisely why we hit rock bottom and nearly got relegated if not for Saracens. I think that's putting too finer point on it. There were many other factors at play. But I do share your concern. I mea...

Call me cynical, the only reason Cockers has been announced as interim is to ensure negotiations with Tigers don't get over balanced in our favour. Equally, I do wonder if Tigers will also point to the fact that England made us wait for Steve, why wouldn't we play the same game. I don't think we'll ...
