Leicester Tigers

Got to be a lot of cap that hasn't been announced one way or another now surely? See I'm not so sure. Chessum, Porter, Martin, Van Poortvliet, Steward, Kelly and Henderson have all re-signed and considering all are now either in or around their respective international squads, all would have comman...

I do think we could maybe do with another back rower especially with Martin looking so good in the row. Currently we have 6. Hanro, Hatherall, 7. Reffell, Cracknell, Ilione 8. Wiese, Granted Chessum and Martin cover 6 and Martin covers 8. But when you factor that Chessum, Henderson, Reffell, Wiese ...

Wolstenholme was always a temporary signing though.

I don't see us signing another scrum half. Ben won't feature for England post World Cup, and to be honest, who'd want to come in knowing they'd get very limited game time.

With OHC finally confirmly, and the equally brilliant news that Henderson has signed a new deal, I think the squad for next year is really starting to take shape. With both Bassett and OHC coming in, and the fact that Simmons seems to be above the likes of Kini and Saumaki, not to mention the recent...

I don't know, he play a blinder last season

Given how Brown has been playing, I'd have Steward on the bench vs Bristol. 15. Mike Brown 14. Anthony Watson 13. Matt Scott 12. Guy Porter 11. Harry Potter 10. Handre Pollard 9. Ben Youngs 1. James Cronin 2. Julian Montoya 3. Joe Heyes 4. Cameron Henderson 5. George Martin 6. Hanro Liebenberg 7. To...

15. Freddie Steward 14. Max Malins 13. Henry Slade 12. Ollie Lawrence 11. Anthony Watson 10. George Ford (vc) 9. Raffi Quirke 1. Ellis Genge (capt.) 2. Jamie George 3. Dan Cole 4. Ollie Chessum 5. Courtney Lawes 6. Lewis Ludlam (vc) 7. Ben Earl 8. Zach Mercer 16. Luke Cowan-Dickie 17. Val Rapava-Rus...

Aside from Hassel-Collins, are there any rumours out there regarding signings or assistant coaches? I fully appreciate there are 6 months between now and the new season start, but seems eerily quiet.

He's learning it's a different beast over there... We'll file this one under "Whoops."

Others have answered most of your points John but in point 1 you mention "lower down", why do lower leagues need to change, they could stay as winter rugby, its only the elite that could change as they need extra cash/support, no need to go full hog. Does it not close off the "elite&...

I don't think so.

I'm not expecting it at any rate.

Given how highly Toomua speaks of McKellar, and Tigers, I wonder what odds of Toomua coming back next season, potentially as player/skills coach role? Wouldn't be first choice 12, but would give another option at 10 and 12, especially if Gopperth is off as he is on 1 + 1 deal.

15. Shillcock 14. Bassett 13. Scott 12. Porter 11. Potter 10. Atkinson 9. Whiteley 1. Cronin 2. Dolly 3. Heyes 4. Green 5. Wells 6. Martin 7. Cracknell 8. Liebenberg 16. Claire 17. Whitcombe 18. Hurd 19. L. Chessum 20. Hatherell 21. Edwards 22. Gopperth 23. Simmons That's not a bad line up going int...

I would hope that Everard would keep his position as defence coach as he has done a good job IMHO. I hope McKeller gets free reign to choose his own coaches but I hope we keep Brett and Dosser's Lad to keep the Tiger's history there as crazy as that may seem. As mentioned, I hope Du Plessis gets th...

So, we have a long term Head Coach. Let's look at his support staff. Currently in place Matt Everard Matt Smith Brett Deacon Tom Harrison* *rumoured in contention to replace Cockers at England as scrum coach Got to say the fact McKellar has left Australia at exactly the same time as Australia scrum...
