Can I clarify, are you stating unequivocally that Ellis Genge has said to you that he is sick of Leicester Tigers (this includes the 'environment' or training regime) and wants to leave?

Just to be clear.

Wasn't after, nor asked for, the fine grain detail....Why, Who, When etc, merely asked for clarification that 'the man himself' has said that to you, reasonable request regarding your claim of something so damning being said about our club by one of our players.

Simple question and a simple yes/no would suffice.

No worry, if you can't or won't qualify your own assertion then fair enough.......

If opportunity arises I'll more than happily ask him in person, having spoken to him previously, as much as 'just a supporter' really can for a limited time, I'm sure he'd be happy to answer.

Winter Tiger appears to know all about the forum meeting without going to it so presumably knows what Ellis thinks without actually speaking to him. Ellis is fed up with being injured and not playing, he will be happy when he is earning a few bumps and bruises, as will Dom Barrow.

McGuigan isn’t injured, he’s will be a part of MOC Clearout #2 to account for Kerr and Mahoney and is probably unofficially released already

McGuigan is better than Kerr and Mahoney in my opinion.
A shame really, England Saxons in 2016.
Might similar apply to Evans, who was also involved with England in 2016, considering he very rarely gets picked and that Leicester have added Denton and Thompson to O'Connor, Mapapalangi and Ryan!
Just wondering, as you seem to know what is happening with McGuigan!

When is Gengey likely to be back playing John? We have missed him more than any other player.

Not John but Wasps was the expected return.

The salary cap for playing staff is frequently referred to by Cohen etal to explain recruitment and retention decision making but also to refute suggestions that "off field" developments have an impact on the playing budget. All seems perfectly straightforward and reasonable to me.
But how is the budget for coaching staff determined? What, if any, are the constraints in that area and what kind of factors could be influential? I also wonder if there are any comparative statistics available to show the annual coaching expenditure of respective individual Premiership clubs?

Sorry if this has already been posted, I've not trawled the entire thread.

It would be great if the club would video these forums. I live an hour from Leicester and with 3 young kids have no time to attend them on a weeknight. It doesn't mean I don't want to attend and it would be good to be able to assess what is said first hand.

Hope we don't lose Evans! He would be a superstar already if he was at Chiefs,Sarries or possibly Bath

Doubt it.

He wouldn’t be starting for them either.
