LEICESTER TIGERS 2020/21 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD EPISODE VI: The Return of the Burns

[Cagey Tiger]

Given the high turnover in playing and coaching staff, I won't be expecting 5* performances from the team at the start of next season. There's a lot of familiarisation and getting everybody on the same page to be done.

[Cagey Tiger]

Does the announcement of Kevin Sinfield (an arrival) mark the end of announcements of departures?

You expect so. Done all players, now done two staff, before annoucing one coming in.

[Wayne Richardson Fan Club]

What a genius player! a great coach and a great human being, what a signing!!

Great coach...no real evidence so far, can't argue with the other statements

[Scott1]

From Mike Ford POV
He came here with his reputation a bit battered IMO.
And is leaving IMO with it restored in some way.

I still think Craig was the most at fault for Baths problems.

Yes the proof is in he pudding. 4th meanest try defence and over 20 less tries conceded than last season. Good luck Mike!

Yes I was! But mostly as an attack coach,had that one diamond play that was ruthlessly found out by Sarries and had all the “toxic” baggage surrounding him with extra marital relations and the Burgess circus. Been a good servant,he deserves a chance at another big club

Still a few more Starwars titles to go, perhaps a jump to Tolkien?

[RagingBull]

given the feelings towards the Star wars sequels I'm feeling a move is in order to another world.

Episode VII For-tress WR Awakens?

Episode VII 'The Borths awakens'...

[RagingBull]

Matt Harrison and Matt Smith new coaching deals as assistant coaches.

[TigerFeetSteve]

https://www.leicestertigers.com/news/co ... risonsmith

Harrison stays as Scrum coach

Smith is going to be an assistant coach in the senior side (doesn't say if he's the attack coach or not) that I can read (dyslexia may mean I missed it)

[RagingBull]

Yep it says
Harrison continuing his role as scrum coach
Whereas with Smith it only says assistant coach no mention of attack/backs.

Could potentially be a similar case to Deacon with the forwards?
