Leicester Tigers

I like that signing (though with Ruck's obligatory pinch of salt). It means we're starting to add DEPTH to some positions, most positions now I think we can name 2 top quality players.

Scott, Porter, Jones & Moroni, plus Hardwick as a 10 or 12 looks like some depth is being built.

I think we could maybe see a couple of back to back players (not 2nd row or back row due to the injury issues messing up any sort of rest for them)
The complete rest vs Bath means there are likely some going to do it. Look at those subbed early yesterday, likes of YBY maybe

Martin off too now..

Leicester Tigers (v London Irish, home, Wednesday 6.00pm) 15 Freddie Steward 14 David Williams 13 Jaco Taute 12 Matt Scott 11 Nemani Nadolo 10 George Ford (vc) 9 Ben Youngs 1 Ellis Genge 2 Tom Youngs (c) 3 Dan Cole 4 Harry Wells 5 Calum Green 6 Hanro Liebenberg 7 Tommy Reffell 8 Jordan Taufua Repla...

...... and I believe that is what we’ll get! I wouldn’t object if one or two younger players are in the squad for Wednesday, George Martin for example, but I’d drop Lavanini who has been a disappointment for me. Henry deserves a place on the bench coming on for Ford for the last 20 and I’d pick Ste...

14. Murimurivalu Is he here yet? "Murimurivalu will link up with his new team-mates in the coming weeks ahead of the scheduled resumption of the English Premiership campaign in August" This was posted on 21 Jul 20 and the BBC also said he would be available for the restart of the campaign...

I don't get it. In the build up to the restart there was a lot of positivity about SB's arrival and what it holds for the club. He picked this team from what he's seen in training. Lets trust him for at least a couple of games. We exceeded most neutrals predictions vs Exeter... Front row. Not out an...

[quote=sapajo post_id=749765 time=1598021492 user_id=9379] How times have changed, there was a time when Tigers always set out to win their home games, no matter who the opposition, crowd or no crowd, 11th or not. I can understand the desire to give the youngsters a chance but frankly I do not think...

I have to say that any company using yodel, has got to be desperate or very stupid. Personally, if I see a company who I want something from used yodel, I go elsewhere. Not once have they delivered what I ordered to my house, on time and in one piece. So, its a no from me to getting anything from t...

I'm hoping we see a mix of experience and youngsters in both games rather than first XV and second XV. Something like: 1.Genge 2.Youngs (c) 3.Heyes 4.Lavanini 5.Wells 6.Lewis 7.Wallace 8.Taufua 9.White 10.Ford 11.Olowofela 12.Hardwick 13.Taute 14.Potter 15.Steward 1.Leatigaga 2.Kerr 3.Cole 4.Green ...

Random question Are we wearing the new kit, or is that being saved till the new season. I'm guessing we'll still be in the Kukri kit as it's still that season, though I guess it's down to what the contract states is it dates or is it seasons? I notice they're just wearing the new stuff in practice n...

Back 3 running on fumes.

Interestingly 3 back rows (1 is a development squad member) on the bench meaning he's cover for the 2nd row too, looks like our back row is being given license to put it all out there and be explosive

Plus Brink & Weise to add in to the mix soon too.

Backrow looks a real strength now if the players gel nicely.

This could lead to an interesting situation. If a second team is found guilty how do you deal with it? Do you relegate 2 teams at the end of the season and promote 2? That would leave an awkward position with the proposed ring fencing as only one of the teams could come back up. The other team coul...

Assuming this is genuine Which season does this relate to? If there's something from a season or two ago that's come to light I would be looking at clubs that have offloaded a lot of players. A club like Wasps let a lot of big name players go in the last couple of years, them being broke may be a sy...
