Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD

We've just had the worst season in our history, but it's okay we'll stick with what we got? Has this been confirmed? Blake is out of contract and I don't know how long Bakewell's contract was either but he's been here 18 months. When the club confirm the coaching structure for next season I'll pass...

Re: Article by Ben Kayser

Was a great player whilst he was here and I'd have happily seen him play that extra season in green, red and white. Hope he takes one more title today and retires on a high. Always comes across really well in interviews and wouldn't be surprised if either coaching or punditry follows for next seaso...

Re: 2019 World U20s

Reffell is a defensive tank. Not just in how hard he hits, but how he reads the game. Seriously think he could have a breakout year next season. Agreed, I think he should be our starting 7 next season, Costelow could also see himself getting a bit of game time next season Starting over Thompson? I'...

I thought he looked capable of stepping up in his brief outings last season. Very quick over the ball and has good tackle technique.

Re: The player cost of relegation

We shouldn’t feel too sorry for them, feel sorry for the Premiership quality players that should be playing for Premiership teams like Cavubati. cough cough Not a player I feel the Prem will particularly miss. Now if you were to say Sinoti, Goneva, Wilson, Takalua, Mulipola or Johnny Williams then ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD

Thought we were signing Viljoen from the Stormers according to SA press. Don’t think we’d sign both, surely? Why not? Even signing both we’ll only have six senior centres. Reid will also probably cover 10 with Manu being away on international duty. If anything we need both of them. Viljoen can also...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD

I thought all our scrum-halves looked largely poor last season. Given that Youngs is England's most capped 9, Harrison a very consistent Jeff performer and White an U20 captain I think that speaks volume of the ball they got to work with more than the 9s in the squad. Strengthen the pack and I expe...

Re: 2019 World U20s

I thought the England U20's were really lucky to get a result against Italy who themselves wasted a bucket load of chances. I wouldn't pay in chocolate coins to watch these names and the way it is going the game will be totally full of them. With all of the successful development coaches now having...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD

As the father of a youngest who knew AWJ as a contemporary (we lived in Swansea twice) the privilege is somewhat correct and NOT a chip. His lawyer parents paid for a lad who was not the best in the district to attend every coaching course going, and while he is talented, he was connected, which so...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD

Undoubtedly he’s a successful player, but he’s probably past his prime, has barely player for Ospreys and is in a position where marquee signings aren’t a priority, I know de Villiers who ended up barely playing for us did really well behind the scenes but should we paying the big bucks for that ki...

Re: Not a happy place like the Ricoh!

Thanks for that, Sam, but I still find it hard to accept that Coventry City Council’s decision could be considered ‘state aid’, particularly when our steel industry is collapsing because our state isn’t allowed to offer it aid, despite state aid being permissible in France and Germany having had it...

Well, Wasps are not exactly flavour of the year among Coventry City fans. Who can blame them after this sordid affair? :smt017 I’m no great fan of the Insects and am completely ignorant of any possible underhand dealing in their negotiations with Coventry City, but get onside with them when City ar...

Re: 2019 World U20s

Jack Willis was never capped, Sam James is a good player, I recalled him playing well in a Baabaas game, but would you have him ahead of Slade, Tuilagi, Marchant? Unfortunately Sam it is a difficult ball game. Jack Willis was in the tour squad to SA but didn't play. Presumably got injured again, po...
