I think Lewis is a bit on the lanky side and not enough bulk, he gets his weight from his height. from what I have heard Hardwick is thinking of leaving, makes me wonder about so many others previously mentioned, i'm sure so many of those are surplus to SBs requirement.

I don't remember any standout performances from Lewis last season. He barely played in the Premiership but was decent in his Challenge Cup outings, if nothing special.

Martin, Henderson, Chessum and Smith have all impressed me more when I've seen them.

I believe it’s on Sky or if you don’t have Sky try Smarters Pro IPTV.

I know there are fans out there who think a lot of Zack Henry, but I'm not amongst them. I've been passionate about rugby since the early 50's, and a Tigers fan for decades. Henry's touch kicking is poor, his tactical kicking is poor, his judgement is poor, his tackling, open play, and place-kicking are indifferent. Game management? I don't think he understands the concept. No guesses as to what I think about his leaving.

Questionable social media post from Hardwick circulating. No idea of context or if it’s genuine.....but if it is, It’s not the type of post an employee would post.

What’s Hardwick said / supposed to have said? Not overly up to date with social media!

Whitty

Jordan Taufua’s situation “is an ongoing situation”, Steve Borthwick has just told me.

Lyon announced officially they had signed him earlier in the week. No official announcement from Tigers yet.

Hmmmm...

‘Just’ some emoji’s that are presented as mocking the performance.

Not the right thing to do & seemingly in character, but you can't argue with him.

More wondering if it’s a confirmation he’s parted ways.

Yes,this is not scott1 moaning on the forum. If he’s ridiculed his own team,and that’s what it sounds like hes done,then he’s gone!
