Tigers on loan 21/22

[TigerFeetSteve]

Right as RB pointed out on a different thread there's some interesting names in our European squad and some names omitted. Of our loanees (likes of Thom Smith not included as he has now signed elsewhere permanently)

Loanees/dual registrations who made the Euro Squad (loan club in brackets)
Browning (Nottingham)
L Chessum (Nottingham - yet to appear for them)
Cusick (Nottingham)
Edwards (Nottingham)
Hoyt (Nottingham)
Hurd (Coventry)
Lancaster (Nottingham)
Law (Loughborough)
Richardson (Coventry)
Rowntree (Loughborough)
Simmons (Jersey)
S Smith (Loughborough)
Vanes (Nottingham)
Whitcombe (Nottingham)

Loanees/Dual Regs/Other squad members NOT in the EPRC squad
Agbongbon (Loughborough)
Aspland-Robinson (Coventry)
Cowan-Dickie (Pirates)
Olowafela (Dragons)

Given how short a list it is you have to say, Agbongbon has got potential to develop so his can be explained away.

Aspland-Robinson and Olowafela it appears even more certain that they have no future with us.

Cowan-Dickie is an interesting one, as OTY has been added to the squad, you wonder if there's a punt been made there that OTY being back and us being in the latter stages of the tournament is more likely than Cowan-Dickie being used. Will be interesting with Clare now fit if he is released back to Pirates?


Intresting side note I picked up on while pulling this list together of the Senior Academy Squad only Ilione & Manz are not on loan/dual registrations that we know of (which adds to the rumours that they're both injured as to why we've not seen them)

Must be close to 30yrs between those 2.

Is this a permanent loan (as he was loaned out to Nottingham already) or is this just say a return from injury and they want him to have a few minutes before playing for Nottingham?

Think it’s covering Hardwick.
Although he was last playing for Louth students don’t think he’s played for Notts in a few months

Swap any, or all of, those wingers with Falcons for Radwan.

Nottingham v Coventry
2. Vans
23. Browning

Nottingham v Coventry

23. Browning

Folks keep pushing Browning but he is only getting shirt 23 at Nottingham, seems a bit odd if we are expecting great things from him, whats wrong?

He had a stinker earlier in the season and (I think I'm right in saying) that he was dropped the next week and has been a bit hit and miss since.

I suspect a lot of the people calling for Browning haven't seen him play.

In all sports everyone builds up the youngsters and then wants to knock them down once they get anywhere.

He won a player of the month award for Nottingham last April.

On the back of that I really would have expected him to kick on this season, instead he does seem to have stagnated a bit. We don't know the situation with injuries, just after his stinker for Nottingham he didn't appear for us in the prem cup, where even one stinker aside I'd have thought they may try him out from the bench.

I suspect that unless he has another year left on his contract that we may release him.
