Leicester Tigers

Sevens squad named for Friday. Only four names are the same as for the Semis at Northampton last week.

Scully is not one of them

Anything to read into this? Have some of the players gone over to Switzerland? Thoughts welcomed.

So Tigers formally announce that Blaine Scully is with them as a triallist and will appear in the JP Morgan Sevens this week!

Interesting stuff!

It strikes me that there could be a great opportunity to move the 6 Nations to the end of the season from February/ March, if this idea is pursued. This would then mean that the domestic Premier League situation could be improved by having a straight run-through after the Autumn Internationals, with...

I guess that the powers-that-be decided that Cardiff made the most sense because it is guaranteed to be a neutral venue for the two finalists

I think that credit needs to go to the Tigers for spotting Geoff and developing him into such a quality Lock. And also for having the patience to nurse him back from two very serious injuries. I seem to remember some on this Forum being very unenthusiastic originally about the recruitment of this &q...

What will be really interesting is the degree to which all four Rabo Unions agree to stick together. Whilst in any opening negotiations gambits it has made sense for them to stand as one, when it comes down to the crunch/ end game - when some of them realise that the English and French WILL walk awa...

Hi Does anyone know if the Top 14 Final is on any of the TV channels? :smt017 Alternatively is there an Internet option? It's Toulon v Castres! Should be good! PS For those of us Tigers fans who get upset when Tigers lose in a final - just be grateful we are not Clermont Auvergne fans! They must hav...

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT!
THE FUTURE IS ORANGE - WITH BIG BLACK STRIPES!

My understanding is the same as your TB - it is due to rise a bit with some flexibility according to how many home grown players you have. (I think it's an extra £25k for each of up to eight players, which effectively adds £200k to the limit - but I stand to be corrected). My query related to the wh...

I watched the match on TV and Toby was definitely there when the trophy was being paraded around Twickers. He might have popped off for a few minutes break straight after the collection of the trophy, but the TV cameras homed in on him at one point holding the trophy aloft to Tigers fans in ths stan...

I welcome views on what the known changes to the squad - plus any further potential changes - might have on the actual COST of the squad? I ask this because we all assume that Castro and Smurf would have been two of the highest paid players - if not THE two highest paid. So far there have been more ...

I like some of what Red Boots says! :smt003 It prompts me to ask a genuine question that I hope someone will be able to clarify. This is whether the Salary Cap applies solely to the Premiership - given that I understand that it is set by Premier Rugby? Therefore, is it acceptable (i.e. not breaching...

There are comments made on a number of threads about how we recruited players and did not necessarily use them (well), particularly the back row. Smudge rightly highlights that the club (in fact all clubs) should have contingencies in place for when things go awry. While I am still trying to recover...

Sileby Tiger said: "Would've been extremely harsh to drop Goneva but I'd have Thompstone on the bench ahead of Smith". It's all a very tough call for Cockers given an almost fully fit squad. I think that Smith shades it over Thompstone simply because he can cover more positions amongst the...

No Calum Clark for Stains!
And George Pisi is only on the bench!
If George was 100% I would have expected him to be the the starting XV.
Does this suggest that he is not 100%?
