Leicester Tigers

I think it’s a bit much to say that Joe Ford doesn’t deserve to wear the shirt. From what I’ve seen whenever he’s played he’s worked his balls off, so get off your high horse. We’ve had back up 10s who have tried far less hard. Pez and Burke spring to mind.

I think that’s the most recent back row we have had that was any good

Still cant understand why JC consistently got selected over Waldrom !

I think he'd be a very good short term signing. Our back row needs a real overhaul in my opinion.

In response to the topic, no. Our back line is exceptional. Our second and back row options are not good enough to compete. We don’t get front foot ball consistently enough to exploit defences. The lineout has been pretty dire all year too which is a massive problem. The number of missed opportuniti...

The signing would tend to suggest that one or more of our wingers are expected to be out for a lengthy period. He also plays 15 and with Worth injured and Tait lacking pace these days that's handy cover for TV. He was quoted as saying he was looking forward to learning from Manu and To'omua so mayb...

I thought Williams and Valentino looked better than the rest we have in the back row at the weekend. We really need a number 8, I hope he proves me wrong but Kalamafoni really hasn't set the world on fire for me at all, or even made many positive carries. I'd start them both, williams at 7 and see h...

For balance I disagree with the majority. I know the result was a bit disappointing but let's not forget this was our first fixture under a new coach; and a lot of new combinations. There were plenty of positives to take from it. We had threats all over the pitch which hasn't been the case for a lon...

Don't feel Ben plays his best rugby alongside Farrell either which is a shame.

I don't have a problem with picking any of those players in midfield-just not altogether!

I was unfortunate enough to read this story late last night and I could hardly sleep. I felt really good about this tournament and couldnt wait for the weekend. Why on earth have they torn up the game plan and decided to just stick our 3 biggest bits of meat in the midfield?? I could understand the ...

Really hoping for a strong performance from Slade as I would love to see him make the cut. I would think Lawes, Launchberry, Attwood and Parling were all going to be honest. I can't understand the obsession with Burgess, Slade has been far superior all year. Thought Haskell would have been a better ...

As noone's said it.....

Would take Henson in a heart beat. Phenomenal player-still. Doesn't demand a massive wage, and has the X factor we miss.

The most disappointing thing for me is its obvious how much playing for England means to him, and I've heard him speak many times about the importance of being a positive role model. He's got drunk and made a big mistake. I'm sure noone is more more disappointed in Manu than Manu is at the moment. :...

I really do feel like we are losing alot more quality than we are gaining. Really underwhelmed so far, and will be happy to be proven wrong.

Any news on Adam Thompstone? Is he off to Exeter or is there a bit of good news?

Quotes from Dai Young alluding that Wasps would be happy with finishing 6th. Quite baffling to me. Cant understand that.

Its all well good saying that theres nothing to be confused about but we do seem to be losing a lot of good players and not signing any to replace them..... So far as far as I can tell we are losing Salvi (best 7) Parling (best lock) Thompstone (First xv winger) Scully (the same) Gibson (promising y...
