Leicester Tigers

Would be supprised if we got through, although as sam16111986 said we can always bring a few more senior players in if we get through

I think getting him to bulk up is a mistake, Aaron Cruden isn't massive and he is making Dan Carter look amateur in the Super 15, and in the games ive seen George Ford play the only defensive problem i saw was he kept rushing up out of the line early last season

In regards to Captain im surprised nobody has brought up Kitchener, He has Captained Worcester and the Saxons and he leads by example, and Slater at NO.8 is risky but if its pulled off it could be a great move

1. Mulipola (swap after 60 mins for Ayerza) 2. Youngs (will be nailed on England hooker come end of season) 3. Cole (sub after 60 mins for Castro) 4. Parling 5. Kitchener 6. Croft 7. Mafi (will convert to openside and we can have both him and Croft charging around the field and dominating line out!...

You'll find other views here kpj tiger :smt023 http://forum.leicestertigers.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=34833 Personally I wouldn't be going for a 4/4 split on the bench, I'd stick with 5 forwards and 3 backs. Ayerza will be missing for first 3 (?) months of the season due to Intl commitments. Muli...

Now we have had a confirmed list of signings who would you pick for a 1st team? I would go for; 1. Ayerza 2. Youngs 3. Cole 4. Kitchener 5. Parling 6. Croft 7. Salvi 8. Crane 9. Youngs 10. Flood/Ford 11. Genovea 12. Allen 13. Tuilagi 14. Benjamin 15. Murphy (C) 16. Hawkins 17. Brookes/Malipola 18. C...

Always rated him highly as a player, Hopefuly he can become a great coach too and maybe return to tigers in some capacity

For me our Starting 22 has to be 1. Mulipola 2. Youngs (if he has a shakey game bring Hawkins or Chuter on) 3. Cole 4. Parling 5. Kitchener (for me he has really stepped up a gear and was very impressive in the midweek games for england) 6. Croft/Mafi (Like for Like so who ever is performing better ...

Confirmed he is going to bath next season

A long way off I know but many are talking about young George Ford as a future England captain. Apparently he led the U20's very well despite being a few years younger than the team - very level headed who the team really respected. As you said George ford is still a few seasons away from a startin...

No one else according to Stuart Lancaster as he has proved by giving the captaincy of both the test team and the mid week team to harlequins players. Pathetic in my books as neither player is international material and what happens with the captaincy when the likes of Laws, Croft and Wood are avail...

Martin Crowson has said on twitter that several sources now suggesting that Agulla has signed for Bath. Would be a massive shame to see him go to another English club but even worse if it is Bath or Wasps, Especially seeing as all Tigers players that go to Bath lose their form almost instantly :smt...

We just need a 7 to stick their hand up and take the step up. From what I hear Steffon Armitage is in very good form for Toulon, The problem England has it that we need a top grade 7 and although Robshaw is a great player I dont believe he is top grade international quality but if we lose him for s...

He plays second fiddle to mr (bit of an idiot himself) barnes, so of course he's an idiot, try to ignore him. I thought kitchener did well, he's basically a 6 with 4 on his back really which, depending on the balance of the team, could be very useful-versatile squad is key. Agreed on all other fron...

OK performance from England, but Jesus crist Dewi Morris is an idiot, basically saying Waldrom is a 2nd rate player and said Kitchener (who in my opinion had a solid game) didn't do anything, Care deserves a bench spot in the next test and so does Waldrom, Youngs who made a pretty big impact has a s...
