[Jon]

According to Radio Leicester, Bateman, Goneva, Tait and Fonua all available for selection this week.
JDV and O'Connor should be back for Sale.
The worst news... OTY out for the season with back injury.

[Iain]

Out for the season? That's not so good. That's not good at all. Damn.

The returning players provides some good news at least.

[Jimmy Skitz]

if he's out for the season then he has a more serious problem than Back Spasms

[Iain]

Do we know if Mike Williams is fit after the knock he got last week to his previously broken arm?

[Cagey Tiger]

Fans on the Sorries unoffy are hoping they can scrape a losing bonus point, so hardly optimistic.

We can't both get a losing bonus point

[sapajo]

Sadly according to the Merc

Mike had some pain in the arm that he broke but the scans show that it is not re-fractured," said Cockerill.

"But there seems an issue in and around that which we are trying to get to the bottom of. It is unlikely he will be playing at the weekend"

[Tigerbeat]

Leicester Tigers only defeat at Welford Road in any tournament over the last year was 3-10 to Sale Sharks on 6 February. Saracens have fared better on the road than at home this season, picking up two more league points on their travels than at home.

Ok so we are missing; Cole, Manu, YBY, OTY, M Williams, BOC, Leo but not many other significant others....

Sarries are missing; George, Macu V, Billy V, Kruis, Itoje, Farrell, Ashton.....any others? Has Goode travelled to Paris? Is Shalk B injured?

So quite similar amount of absentees really.

Fancy our chances at home, really can't afford to lose!!!

Sure, can't lose this one if the Tigers are to have any hope of making the playoffs. Trouble is Sarries can put together a damn good 2nd XV on their day and with the number of Tigers missing it will be touch and go for both sides - can't really call it. We have to win otherwise my Sarries mate who will be with me will be giving my earache for eons afterwards!!!!

Best take your earplugs with you then.

[Snorbins]

Whats the deal with Logo, he looked out of sorts last week? Bit trundling to my mind.

Goode has travelled to Paris and I believe Shalk B is unavailable due to injury but not sure on that one
