Leicester Tigers

Farewell Tom.
I hope that your injuries do not cause difficulties in later life.
Enjoy your retirement!

Dan Cole, Excellent, I guess some may find the choice of priority of announcements and excitement quotient, 'interesting'!

Crikey, it gets even better. Matt T with us until 2020 at least.

Terrific news so far this morning.

Dan and Benny to complete a great morning's announcements?

Is Ellis becoming the slightly naughty nephew everyone wants to look after?

Telusa !!!!

Isn't it about time people on this board stopped referring to "Dosser's lad" and started to recognise that Matt deserves to be referred to as Matt Smith? It strikes me as being an insult to a thirtysomething with 200 games behind him, that he still is in the shadow of his father in the min...

From Merc: The two clubs last played on the same day on December 1, 2012, when Tigers faced Bath at 12.30pm and City took on Derby at 5.20pm. If the two games are to go ahead on the same day, it is likely that the Tigers kick-off would have to be moved to leave enough time between their game and Ci...

Maybe Matt Smith, who has to be one of Tigers most valuable Club servants I thought it was just me that thought that :smt023 Toby Flood on BT Sport highlighted Matt Smith as probably one of the most important players we have especially with Manu out. He may not be flash or International class but h...

I took it that the big guy in training strip, watching, but not taking part in the warm-up before the Chiefs game was Dan Touhy. Good to see the new guy out there chatting with his potential second row partners.

According to today's LM, we are looking for TWO temporary replacements, for Manu and Fitzgerald, as they are both not due to be fit for at least twelve weeks. Just got to find suitable temporary replacements! http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/leicester-tigers-in-market-injury-...

Judging by the Facebook page, it's not 95%. Nay sayers are pointing to the proliferation of sponsors' names on the shirts, as a major reason for disliking them. Commercial reality still has not arrived in the minds of many Tigers' fans it seems.

Tomas Leonardi has been registered in place of Rizzo. Argentinian back row, playing for the Sunwolves this season. Looks like a handful. I wonder how much influence Marcus and/or Pablo had on this signing?

I remember receiving a letter but can't remember if it had new cards in. Can only find last years at the minute!

Same card unless you have changed seats. Worked fine for the Ospreys pre-season game.

According to Cockers' briefing today, there were no injuries from the Glaws game, and Mikes Williams and Fitzgerald are fit. Owen Williams seems to be fifty fifty. Crofty is not fit!
