Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 - Prisoner of Oadby Pre-Season

If OHC has been secured, doesn't look like we're announcing him tonight.

BBC Sport Leicester have tweeted their round up of the signings.

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 - Prisoner of Oadby Pre-Season

So that would be Basset, Hassel-Collins, Potter, Simmons and Steward as signed on back 3 options for next season, assuming Atkinson and Pollard will be the first choice fly-halves and Porter is seen as a centre. One or two more back 3 players to re-sign or be signed up? Assuming Basset and OHC are ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 - Prisoner of Oadby Pre-Season

Also, I get the impression the 2 days of popcorn the rolling maul guys were talking about might have been Monday and Tuesday - looks to be a new mascot ‘signing’ at 6pm tonight. I could be wrong, but maybe no more new players or re-signing players announced today. Just to tidy this up, the two days...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 - Prisoner of Oadby Pre-Season

Dan Kelly re-signing is very, very good news. The rest are very solid signings, if not massively exciting. Cole wasn't really going anywhere else was he? Henderson, Reffell and Watson would be very, very nice to secure. Henderson I feel will be in hot demand, and at Tigers he's probably somewhere be...

Re: Next England Head Coach (Pre World Cup)

Rugbypass reporting that Wigglesworth will take over. Means we might be in the market for another scrum-half for the 6N? https://www.rugbypass.com/news/the-former-england-player-tipped-to-take-over-at-leicester-tigers/ Sorry but what exactly has Wigglesworth done as attack coach that shows hes read...

Re: Tigers post Borthwick - next Head Coach?

Richards hasn’t been properly involved with coaching since Walder was promoted at Newcastle he was very much a figurehead and now spends his days hunting and fishing. No matter who’s fault it was he left the club under a real cloud and should never be approached again. I’d rather they asked Murphy ...

Re: Tigers post Borthwick - next Head Coach?

No not for me, before Borthwick incestuously recruiting from within was a Tigers speciality. This is precisely why we hit rock bottom and nearly got relegated if not for Saracens. I think that's putting too finer point on it. There were many other factors at play. But I do share your concern. I mea...

Re: Next England Head Coach (Pre &/or Post World Cup)

Call me cynical, the only reason Cockers has been announced as interim is to ensure negotiations with Tigers don't get over balanced in our favour. Equally, I do wonder if Tigers will also point to the fact that England made us wait for Steve, why wouldn't we play the same game. I don't think we'll ...

Re: Next England Head Coach (Pre &/or Post World Cup)

I think he has to go if England make an offer. What would happen if, say, Cockers took England to the last 4 of the world cup, after winning the six nations? Would you let him go for Steve? I'm not so sure. We all know Steve is interested, I wish he'd put the speculation to bed and either say he's i...

Re: Next England Head Coach (Pre &/or Post World Cup)

I don't think Kev gets it. And I'd be concerned about Brett. Do we go for similar (Perhaps one time Tiger Brad Thorn) or do we go for a more expansive option (perhaps Sam Vesty). I'd like a mix of the two if I'm honest. I do wonder if Brett made head coach whether Louis would return to help the forw...

Re: Tigers v Bristol Bears (A) - Saturday 03rd December 2022 KO 8-00pm

I'd be happy to rest Steward this week, Watson has looked quality at full-back and it protects him before bringing him back into the fold over the European weekends. For me Saumaki replaces Ashton, something needs to spark the hunger again and maybe being dropped will help focus the mind. On the oth...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 - Prisoner of Oadby Pre-Season

A backline of Steward; Watson, Porter, Kelly, Hassel-Collins; Pollard, JvP seems almost perfectly balanced.

Backed up by: Shillcock; Potter, Cokanasinga, Scott, A. N. Other; Atkinson, Youngs.

Futures bright. But that might just be the sun in the dream world I'm currently living in.

Re: Next England Head Coach (Post World Cup)

Why would Borthwick be upset? As long as tigers were open with him and said ‘listen, we think England may want you and understand you would want to coach at the highest level, we need to prepare for when you leave so will be looking at people now in case you decide to go.’ Transparency is the key t...
