Why are we getting rid of Jennings?!!
He was even voted the second best player in the Premiership!
The new SA bloke won't even toach Cullen either.

We are not getting rid. He is going. The way the irish team is picked might have something to do with his decision :o?cooke-1 wrote:He was even voted the second best player in the Premiership!

SPIKE
It's not the winning or losing but the taking apart which matters.

Agreed, who was this Castrogiovanni geezer!? I remember people saying.stevomarkv wrote:Remember when we signed Jennings and Cullen? nobody thought they'd be as good as backy or johnno then, so who's to say that this new SA isn't up to the task?
Tigers have a habit of being able to pick up players with potential and getting them to fulfill it in Tigers colours pretty damn quickly.
I've a feeling the new crop of 'unknowns' will become stalwart players very quickly under Backy's and Cockers' careful tutelage.

i said to everyone around me - first game against sale when looking at the team sheet "this guy, castrogiovani is really good - trust me" to be met with usual grumbles and "errr more foreign players" type responses - and i have never got it so right :oPBelperJon wrote:<adopts smug mode>Tigerbob wrote:Agreed, who was this Castrogiovanni geezer!?

I remember watching Castro for a couple of 6 Nations before he came to Welford Road and thinking, ":censored: hell, he's good! I wish he was at Tigers."
And the rest, as they say, is history.

I spoke to Leo after Saturday's game and wished him good luck, and said how sad we were that he and Shane were leaving us. Leo replied "I'm sad that we're going, it's been great here, thank you."
They both have their personal reasons for going back to Ireland, as well as the Ireland team selection hopes.

It has been a total pleasure to watch "our Shane" (as he is known at work, because we sponsor him) this year. I think Leinster will give him a smoother passage into the Ireland squad, which for any sportsman has to be the aim (if he's Irish anyway). I am sure he'll make the World Cup squad, ostensibly as number two to David Wallace, then impress in the group matches and later... then break into the first XV next year. If that means leaving Leicester, then noone can begrudge that! Noone here seems to, before anyone kicks off.
Who will be the 'starting' seven next year?
