Leicester Tigers

I was going off their WR eliblity listing, RB. IIRC Cockers did say a year or so ago that while Tigers want to, and will continue to develop EQPs, a club cannot have too many international players involved in the AIs and 6Ns and still remain competitive, especially in Europe. As such, Tigers would ...

From the Merc, covers most injuries: Leicester Tigers will head for their biggest test of the season so far at Exeter on Saturday without 22-stone No.8 Opeti Fonua. The 29-year-old broke his arm in a tackle against Wasps last weekend and will be out for between six and eight weeks. While that news i...

Whilst driving home yesterday after the match, I'm sure I heard Cockers say on the radio Slates and Kitch will be fit for Saturday's West Country teatime kickabout. Please tell me I heard correctly. Frankly, over the years I have come to take whatever Cockers says about injuries with a massive crat...

Loosing one world class forward is annoying for any club, To loose three was a disaster. None more so than Salvi. Add another going to our nearest rivals................. Over many years I have seen players come and go but I don't ever remember a period like this under RC. I think you have to look ...

That's about 20% of the salary cap then on two players!? let's not go there! I can see another saga topic starting.

If Picamoles isn't a marquee player, heaven help us with who they do get

Obviously as the two players signed from London Welsh to great dispair and uproar have actually appeared to be quite good, this is the new whinging topic of choice. Like it or not, the PRL settlement was confidential, and I applaud the club for not bowing to unnecessary pressure brought on by after...

I think that would stoke the flames quite well. Plus what I feel is quite a bit of 2+2=5 (or 6) in the speculation department.

Gopperth's excuse blaming the sun in is eyes was pathetic at best, after all everyone who lives up there will tell you that the sun is a very rare visitor to Geordie land. Notwithstanding the fact that he now plays for Wasps and the match was at Welford Road, your point makes no sense - not being a...

Probably, but not definitely. Could draw/lose both league games, still get in top 4, avoid them in the semis where they get knocked out. Simples

What's the latest on our list of injured players and when they are likely to be back fit and available for selections? Slater? Youngs? Manu? Burns? Comacho? de Villiers? Kitchener? Ayerza etc. Not asking much are you? :smt002 By the time full list was compiled, we'll probably have played Exeter and...

Don't know about floody but can we re-acquire Julian Salvi from Exeter, he put in a storming performance last weekend as the chiefs walloped the falcons, scoring a try to boot, Come home Salvi should be the cry. Not sure we need him looking at the way that the defence is going, top quality player t...

So far so good, but what would really assure me that we have a team and a squad that can compete at the highest level would be an away win at Sandy Park this weekend, followed by a thumping of Stade Francais at Welford road. Then we could again be talking about silverware at the end of the season. ...

Just watched it with the mrs, even she thought red card. He clearly eyes tait then elbow smashes him and then makes out he tried to catch the ball. Tait wasn't even on the pitch. Certain red when it's reviewed. Naughty and quite sly, if not that subtle. :smt018 It wasn't even a forearm smash, it wa...

My biggest fear is the England Tigers Saints thread is true!

Yep: Mallinder is ruling himself into contention with his 1 in 3 win ratio so far
