Re: TV Deal for Season 2024/2025

No tv deal would make me want to give up my season ticket and watch Tigers live at MWWR. It would however stop me from going to several of the away matches.

Re: International Eligibility

For me, the passport idea is a total non-starter - there is not a separate passport for Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales and I am sure that the Northern Irish lads would still want to play for the united Irish team rather than become a tier 2 or 3 nation. Neither is the grandparent thing - get r...

Re: 23/24 Injury/Suspension/Absent International List

A very interesting breakdown of the loading of international players and the ones at risk of exceeding the hours to be played = compare the load of Peter O'Mahony with Chessum and Otoje.

If he is on a 4 year contract - will he qualify for England through the residency rule if he doesn't get selected for SA in the mean time?

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

Leicester Tigers boss Dan McKellar has moved to strengthen his squad for next season with the double signing of NSW Waratahs outside centre Izaia Perese and Wales loosehead Nicky Smith. Perese, 26, who was a member of Eddie Jones Wallabies World Cup squad, has now signed for Tigers and will be join...

Tommy Reffel looks absolutely shattered at the end - He has no speed left and looks as though he could do with a month's total rest

Re: Tigers v Gloucester - Premiership Cup Final - Friday 15th March 2024 - KO:7-45pm

Watched the whole game on the box so it is not as good as being there but I really could not see the reasons for the yellows. The ref did say enough penalties very quietly but did not make it clear that the next offence would be yellow as most refs would have done. I have looked long and hard about ...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

I know that most of us were upset when he left us and took a lot of our courses at the time with him. I don't know him personally so have to draw my judgment on what I read from people who do and he seems to me to be very focused and a detail man. That MAY also mean that it is not easy to shift him ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

According the Flissler we have lost out in the race for Sam Spink - "Saracens have beaten both Sale and Leicester in the race to land highly-rated former Wasps centre Sam Spink from Super Rugby outfit Western Force."
