Lots of interest and comments when Thacker came off the bench in the second half. and to our delight, scored three good tries.
Then he gets 2 more !!!! :smt010
And another in the Challenge Cup. Six in his last three games, seven in nine for the season.

He and Lewington (with 8 in 10) in a tight race to top the Tiger academy graduate scoring charts, but Manu is storming into contention with 5 in 9 games.

Odogwu is sitting behind them with 3 in 7, followed by Ford with 2 in 10.

On single tries are Olowofela, Reffell, Matt Smith and Ben Youngs.

When it comes to graduates at other Premiership clubs, Henry Purdy's injury has prevented him making a challenge this season, but has opened the door for Tom Hudson to get game time. However, despite being a regular for Gloucester he has yet to score. A fate shared by Perry Humphreys, who is getting games at Worcester but - after decent showings in the last 2 seasons - has yet to cross the whitewash this season.

EDIT: Obviously I'm excluding the non-scoring forwards at other clubs, as - depsite being Premiership regulars - the likes of Balmain, Bower and Green are unlikely to score many this season. Though Hamish Watson does score a few at Edinburgh and even Tom Price has scored a few in his 50 games for Scarlets.

Let's not count the challenge cup tries.
Odogwu is playing for Sale in National 1 most of this season.
Hudson had to retire through injury

Hudson may have retired, but it hasn't stopped him playing regularly for Gloucester over the last couple of seasons. And there is no blame attached to Tigers for him - almost miraculously - making a career for himself elsewhere.

I forgot Will Hurrell. He's another racking up games but not scoring. And Billy Twelvetrees, of course.

Tigers did well for Hudson.
We got him a coaching job in Asia helping our Partner club in KL, where he found the guy who helped him.

The academy is producing again it seems, so I just don't know why people are still transfixed on the leavers really.

No one mentions the academy products currently on loan.
