Leicester Tigers

Oh! (Got distracted by the statistics there!) I thought we did well yesterday. Before the game I would have gladly taken a simple win. Much was improved, and lots to feel cheerful about. Although a little weakened that was a good Quins side, and we edged them. Great result, with some great individua...

Fantastic win,well chuffed. A real grinder! Only matched last season though so still 8 points down on last season,Chiefs next a proper test,a game where we can claw points back after being destroyed at WR last season. It's pointless comparing the points last season to this season and to be honest, ...

I'd really quite like to see Tigers wear something similar to the 125 kit as opposed to much of what we have had in recent seasons. I love the stripes, and I love the shade of green.

Oh dear! Not a very good start. I thought our line out was poor, we stood too flat, not enough support runners, and we seemed to come off second best at the breakdown. In the final quarter we looked tired and lacking energy and creativity. A composed team would have got a try from that last line out...

Pretty darned poor from the Saints. I think they may replace Gloucester as the perennial under achievers - at least until they get rid of Dorian West. On the flip side, Sarries look frighteningly good, especially given that wasn't their first pick team today. Telling, very telling.

Well after yesterdays announcement of the new signings I am left underwhelmed I hope 2 things, 1, I am proved totally wrong (I am married so I am used to that) 2, That there are more signings to come. Oh and just to head off any outbursts, this isn't me going against Tigers, not being a true Tigers...

Burns is coming back on a swap deal with Cole and Genge.

Okay

You tease!

Mapa whotsit sounds probable

Well! Something unexpected! Let's hope it is someone interesting that will give us all a bit of 'feelgood' factor!

Anyone care to take a guess ahead of 3pm?

Not wishing to be too gloomy, I'm guessing any announcements today are likely to just confirm what we already know about Kalamafoni and the two Fords. I have my fingers crossed though that there is a special announcement of some one really special joining us that we haven't already heard about. Plea...

More rumours coming out of France today that Picamoles has been signed / is about to be signed / has signed a pre-contract (whatever that is!) with Montpelier. Of course, it may just be Altrad doing what Altrad does best and, not surprisingly, is contradicted by statements from Stains. Spoke to a v...

A real fav in our house. (especially amongst the ladies ever since he did his calendar shot!)

So with just over 24 hours to go until we see a new name on the Premiership Trophy, who are you hoping wins? For me it has to be Exeter. What a story. When the play tomorrow, it will be 7 years and 1 day since they were promoted from the Championship. Come on you Chiefs! Well, I'll be shouting for ...

In light of Monday, anyone going to Twickenham this weekend PLEASE get there early and where possible don't bring a bag. In all seriousness, I have two young relatives attending games at HQ this weekend, and I do feel ever so slightly and usually anxious about it all. Stay safe everyone, keep alert...

Like you LE18, I'm hoping that we will get some good news regarding signings in the next few days. I'll be glad to see various rumours either confirmed or finally put to bed.

Sorry, not warm to that idea at all. Two things. Teams 1 & 2 could end up playing each other twice, once in the play-off and then again in the 'final'.I don't like that. Also, you would need three weeks to play all the matches which would take longer. Not too sure I'm keen on that either. Full m...
