Leicester Tigers

However they are financed, whenever the last won a trophy one thing is clear Leinster are a good team but come Saturday the squad they put out will have the same number of players as ours, if we have our full first team out with first choices in the pack we are a match for anybody. Our halfback are ...

Whilst I agree that Ben Youngs has displayed a talent for the media I do hope he continues as a player for at least another season, I disagree with many of the comments about his performance against Gloucester, I also disagree with much of the criticism of Whitely. The last I heard rugby was a team ...

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 supplier...

Seems bad that we have been found to have sinned again, I would like to know how it happened and what were the circumstances behind it. Obviously a team spending right up to the cap can be caught out if they anticipate incorrectly a p!ayers England selection and I am sure there are other circumstanc...

In answer to Raging Bull's question for me Kata is a great player but I do not think him as creative at 12 as Kelly who has not performed as well at 13 as he did at inside centre. We have signed Pereze who I have watched with interest in three matches recently and I have yet to see anything that mak...

Obviously we can't keep everybody but there is something wrong with a system that cannot provide a game of decent standard rugby for 19/20 year-olds they have to.make the leap from from Under 20's or Academy rugby to the Premiership in one go. I am also not in favour of signing foreign players that ...

It will be interesting to see how many potential Lions playing their rugby in France are actually released for the tour by their clubs.and how many that do travel will have a job to go back to.

I hope it is a shoulder injury, I was concerned it might be linked to the leg injury he had whilst still at Brooksby. I doubt that Lewis was coming the big I am at Lions but he had been playing as captain for the Under 20's and maybe leadership was being misinterpreted. Personally I am not happy wit...

Most of the young players now in our team were brought through in the Murphy era as was Ben White and Sam Costello both now internationals.
We must continue to progress our young players with the addition of a few possibly foreign stars to fill.the gaps and bring quality and experience to the team.

Hopefully the gap between pre season friendly matches and the start of the Premiership will be bridged by Premier Cup.games. We may also find that England players can return a little earlier as long as they have an early rest week. The rules were relaxed last season to enable Ellis Genge to make his...

We have always been told that the TMO is unable to hear match commentary, if that is not the case why have we been lied to? If course we always knew that TMO's would see repeated viewings of an incident and maybe influenced by that but for them to ignore an incident on the grounds that the commentat...

LE18, I am quite excited by the signing of Beet, I do like to see young players come through and Tigers have had a few successful project players in the past. Smith is a good solid prop, played well against us for Ospreys but I don't expect to see him making many runs ball in hand. Our new centre pl...

Edwards has not been given a chance to show what he can do. In fact many young players are now not being given the opportunity to make that transition from Academy to Premiership. The fault is that there is no A League and by swamping the squad with seasoned mature players the young ones are not get...

Many excited by our new signings. We have signed a South African Under20's player to add to our home produced English and Welsh Under 20's who are not getting much game time. We have gone to a poor Ospreys team for a prop not selected for the Wooden Spoon winning Welsh side and we have gone to the a...

Over the years I have seen so many amendments to the laws of the game few of them achieved the desired aim as the first thought of a coach is how to nullify or take advantage of the new situation. Since the intervention of referees to call set, engage etc the formation of a scrum takes longer, the r...
