Other reports suggest that Ford is also staying, and Pat Howard is to have a 'mentoring role', one week a month, to help Geordan push through the changes he wants to see.

I am sorry, you think dropping Heyes to start over Cole is a good idea. Part of the reason Cole is so good is he played behind White and Castro for so long developing and learning off them then getting the od 10-15 minutes off the bench. To early to soon in the prem more than happy with his development.sam16111986 wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 8:24 pmHe started against Scarlets and did well in the scrum against an international loosehead. About the only area we did well that day. Heyes has generally been good off the bench there's some work to do but considering he's only 19 I'd say he's doing ok. At that age Dan Cole was not as accomplished at the dark arts of the scrum.MikeR wrote: ↑Tue Jun 25, 2019 5:57 pm I think Kerr should start as 1st choice Hooker next Season - we need to move on .

He needs to start so that we can see if he really does have the potential to be more than a promising youngster .

In the most tenuous and legally controversial circumstances. It isn’t a purpose built rugby stadium either. When they can afford to change the colour of the seats it might be a little more convincing.TomWeston wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 9:59 am"With the largest rugby stadium in Premiership Rugby..."MurphysLaw wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 9:29 am Jan McGinity now confirmed.

I don't know if Quins will challenge by then but I think you are right to suggest that Quins will go in the right direction under Gustard.
If he is given time to build I can see them eventually challenging Sarries.

might be cheaper for them to just play in sky blue and stop pretending to be the old WaspsHot_Charlie wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 11:15 amIn the most tenuous and legally controversial circumstances.

Given the size of the gate (deducting free tickets), they could just save all the money, and do a ground share with Cov rugby instead!Jimmy Skitz wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 1:59 pmmight be cheaper for them to just play in sky blue and stop pretending to be the old WaspsHot_Charlie wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 11:15 amIn the most tenuous and legally controversial circumstances.

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD
Where and when did advocate dropping Dan? Cole is the first choice. Next season with Leitagaga and Heyes as additional options then we can afford to rotate and sub Dan earlier in games so he is fresher for longer but come the big games there's only one man we all want in the 3 shirt.brooksey845 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 10:02 amI am sorry, you think dropping Heyes to start over Cole is a good idea.

Agreed can't see Quins winning the title in the short term but can see them regularly in the top 4/6 under Gustard. If young Smith takes a big development leap over the next couple of seasons maybe a title shot could come to pass.
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD
i did not advocate dropping Cole for Heyes , but if Heyes is to progress to be a Premiership player he needs more than 2 or 3 minutes at the end of each game .
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2019/20 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD
Appears Jack Van Poortvliet, Jonny Law and Ollie Ashworth have all been promoted alongside the ones we already knew
Also I think Jordan Coghlan is in one of the pre-season photo's uploaded by the club

Yeah you can see Coghlan in one of the Instagram videos, mixed in with the academy lads.
