This is our senior squad only.
These are the players I am happy being a Tiger currently:
Jake Kerr Hooker- coming on well
Tom Youngs Hooker- not the force he was but gives it all
Dan Cole Prop- His England days could be numbered but still a great
Greg Bateman Prop- great squad resource
Ellis Genge Prop- Love him
Will Spencer Lock- Was hoping he would push on and still waiting to see him take over our second row
Harry Wells Lock- Has come on well
David Denton Back row- Injuries are not looking great but good when on the pitch
Will Evans Back row- Looks good at times surprised we haven't seen more of him
Guy Thompson Back row- Great player like him a lot
Sam Harrison Scrum-half- Sam is a great asset for us
Ben Youngs Scrum-half- Never seems to play that well for Tigers but he is very much a front foot SH so probably why
George Ford Fly-half- Proved himself this year in testing times
Manu Tuilagi Centre- Worth keeping him? Who knows it must be a very hard decision to make
Jonah Holmes Wing- Great player very happy with him
Jonny May Wing- Great player want us to get the ball to him more often
Telusa Veainu Wing- How we have missed him
George Worth Fullback- Not a frontline premiership 15 but coming on well
These I do not think are up to standard:
Ross McMillan Hooker- Stop gap
Jimmy Stevens Hooker- Stop gap
Graham Kitchener Lock- Showed promise but never hit the heights we thought he could
James Voss Lock- unknown for me
Valentino Mapa Back row- Seems to have gone off the boil
Brendon O'Connor Back row- Thought he was going to be amazing and has shown flashes but too injury prone
Mike Williams Back row- Off and never really set WR on fire at all
Joe Ford Fly-half- Not good enough
Matt Toomua Centre/Fly-half- Not worked out well never really looked anywhere near the player he was for Aus/Brum
Kyle Eastmond Centre- Doesn't really seem to do anything very well for us imo
Gareth Owen Centre- Had a few good games but mostly not up to standard and injury prone
Matt Smith Centre- Great squad player maybe just one season too many now
Leonardo Sarto v Wing- Not seen yet
Tom Varndell Wing- Looked disinterested versus Sarries
Mathew Tait Fullback- Great player but seems like retirement imminent
Not yet proven or undecided:
Tatafu Polota-Na Hooker- Not performing to standard at present but will hopefully return to form
Gaston Cortes Prop-?
David Feao Prop-?
Facundo Gigena Prop-?
Owen Hills Prop-?
Campese Ma'afu Prop-?
Michael Fitzgerald Lock- good squad player I just thought he would be more effective
Fred Tuilagi Back row- Is he coming through? One more season perhaps
Sione Kalamafoni Back row- great squad player who gives his all but not a front line 8
Adam Thompstone Wing- Gives his all and great squad player could easily be in keep also but I just think we need a clear out
Charlie Thacker Centre- Not stepped up yet
I look forward to being slated for my opinions on this

I would love to read all of yours!

It seems to me we have a large squad with not enough talent in it and compared to other teams do not seem to be getting much bang for our buck I would say!
