Re: Tigers on loan 21/22
Ilione was definitely dual-reg with Notts last season but didn't feature due to the injury. I thought he was registered this season as well but might be wrong.
It would be good to get him Championship game time, though I certainly expect to see him in the PRC at least before the season is done.

No but a squad has been announced and he isn’t in it.TigerXV wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 3:15 pmBut they aren't any U20 fixtures this weekend and Ilione isn't registered with Nottingham so couldn't play?Rugbygramps wrote: ↑Fri Mar 04, 2022 12:48 pmI think point being made is that Lionel put in a motm performance for the u20s last week but isn’t in the squad this week

Re: Tigers on loan 21/22
With him coming back from injury we honestly don't know how much training Ilione has had with Nottingham at all this year. Poulett is captaining Nottingham from 8 tonight the position Ilione played in the U20's.
Really wouldn't read too much into his not playing in a one off game tbh. He certainly will if he stays fit get a chance in the PRC
Can easily see us going with
Ilione 6
Robinson 7
Jansen 8
Agbongbon 20
In the PRC or a combination similar to that.

See that our lone loanee this weekend did okay - Simmons, playing at 14, got a hat trick of tries for Jersey Reds away at Cov.

Re: Tigers on loan 21/22
If Kobus goes, Ashton stays, but no other wing/fullback incomings, he out of all the wingers we have out on loan (Aspland-Robinson and Olowafela being the others), is the only one I think we may consider keeping for a couple of reasons.MurphysLaw wrote: ↑Sun Mar 20, 2022 7:45 am See that our lone loanee this weekend did okay - Simmons, playing at 14, got a hat trick of tries for Jersey Reds away at Cov.
1. Borthwick's actually picked him a bit on the wing and fullback for us.
2. He does offer cover at scrum half. With an international scrum half, plus another EJ (or another coach may want a look at) we could be slender pickings on scrum halves, so whilst I can't see him picking him at 9 I can see him providing injury cover there on the bench.
3. He does have genuine pace
I will qualify this and say I still think he's more likely going than staying, but the other two have no chance of staying IMO.

And he will also be relatively cheap with that versatility.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sun Mar 20, 2022 7:57 amIf Kobus goes, Ashton stays, but no other wing/fullback incomings, he out of all the wingers we have out on loan (Aspland-Robinson and Olowafela being the others), is the only one I think we may consider keeping for a couple of reasons.MurphysLaw wrote: ↑Sun Mar 20, 2022 7:45 am See that our lone loanee this weekend did okay - Simmons, playing at 14, got a hat trick of tries for Jersey Reds away at Cov.

Re: Tigers on loan 21/22
When they just coming in senior ranks I always thought he looked better than White! And there is White playing reasonably well for Scotland and Simmons playing for Jersey. I think he was very unlucky with injury just at the wrong time. I would been keen to see what he looks like now, shame he couldn’t have played Prem cup

Re: Tigers on loan 21/22
Interesting Richardson is playing Tighthead again. Wonder if he's being lined up as the Leatigaga/De Bruin type player to cover both sidesRagingBull wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 7:45 pm Nottingham v Bedford in the championship Cup

Re: Tigers on loan 21/22
Could well be a bit of practice to keep those skills sharp. Very handy being able to cover both sides.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 8:04 pmInteresting Richardson is playing Tighthead again.

I presume Hurd is traveling to Clermont with the rest of the squad since Cole is probably not ready to return. Likely Genge, Heyes, Whitcombe and Leatigaga will be in the squad and Hurd the spare.

Cole is back in contact training by the look of it, so may be ok for a bench spot, we'll find out soon...sam16111986 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 10:40 pmCould well be a bit of practice to keep those skills sharp.

Re: Tigers on loan 21/22
Ilione and Richardson both got sin binned in Nottingham's loss, not sure what for particularly, but did notice that Richardson's was past the 70th min so sounds like he put in a big shift...

L'boro' students haven't had a very good season this year, trouble with student sides when a load of players leave I guess.

Sam Aspland-Robinson is on the bench for Coventry & Harry Simmons is on the bench for Jersey (covering Scrum Half rather than back 3) for their cup semifinal
