Re: PRC Round 2 - Tigers vs Exeter

Not a bad side - Olafowa and Eastmond are the weaknesses in the backline . Sad that Simmons not include - injured ??

Re: PRC Round 2 - Tigers vs Exeter

Should be a far stronger team than last week if we are to be competitive - Baxter has said that the Exeter team will be very similar to last weeks which means it will be strong . We really do need to start playing some of the combinations who will hope to start in the Premiership.

Re: PRC Round 1 - Warriors vs Tigers

Sadly it was inevitable . With no other pre Season games it is vital that these matches are used to get out 1st team combinations up to speed and it looks as if we are carrying on just as usual . Realistically quite a few of that squad will be nowhere near the 1st Team and I really can't see the poi...

Re: Andrea Pinchen

I am sure she is very competent but the avalanche of 'non Coaching/Playing' appointments this Summer slightly worries me . We seem to have lost none of the old bureaucrats and gained quite a few more on considerable salaries no doubt . I suspect that those with changed titles/responsibilities will r...

Re: Leicester Tigers up for sale for £60 Million

The Club being put up for Sale means just that - not just the shares of Messrs Tom and Scott , but the whole lot . That's why all shareholders got a letter explaining that .

Well , good to hear about Mele coming . Perhaps others think there is something lacking at 9 as well as me .

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD

the one position I worry most about is No 9 . Last Season we were very weak there - Youngs hardly played ( when was his last decent game for the Tigers anyway ?) , Harrison just not good enough( kicking is appalling) , I'm not sure that White really made progress , Simmons injured then ignored when ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD

i did not advocate dropping Cole for Heyes , but if Heyes is to progress to be a Premiership player he needs more than 2 or 3 minutes at the end of each game .

Re: Howard to mentor Murphy

A mentor without any real responsilbility - I'm not sure about that . I'm also not sure about inventing another job for Glyn. There seem to be more Chiefs than Indians at the moment whilst we really need a top drawer Head Coach who can bang a few heads together to sort the mess out .

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD

I think Kerr should start as 1st choice Hooker next Season - we need to move on . The same with Hardwick - he needs game time to improve and get experience . For me Heyes is completely unproven at Premiership level - a few brief cameo appearances not all of which have gone well . He needs to start s...

I think you will find that there are other classes of share Capital issued - don't 'count your chickens' yet.

That's right Sam . His speciality is the Scrum - that's not the bit that need sorting .

Re: Preseason fixtures

i think the pre season games will be even more of a farce than usual with RWC players missing and other key players protected from injury . Given the large number of newcomers to our Squad I would select the anticipated starters for our 1st premiership game from pre season game 1 so that at least th...
