LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 - Prisoner of Oadby Pre-Season

[westwinds31]

Heard Gregor is done deal

If true, when does he come in ? Is another who won’t get a full pre-season until summer 2024 because of the RWC ?

Assume it will be after the RWC ,maybe he gets his team in earlier. Who's with him at Scotland?

I'm happy with that! Really happy!

Ditto. Would be a very different style but so long as there is still the same focus on strong set piece to give the backline the ball to work with I think that we have a back division already that really could shine in a Townsend system.

I'm sure there will be ,Scotland set piece is very good. And I believe their defence is the meanest in the 6N recently, sure there was some stat I read

Imagine Coley doing one-handed offloads and all that jazz......

Worth sticking with Wiggy til after the WC if it means we can tie down a top coach like Townsend on a long term contract.

That image would be ingrained in my memory forever…

Townsend was at Saints, or am I imaging that? so knows the area too

[fentiger]

From '95 to '98 I believe

come on lets not hold that against him there was no room at the inn so he had to find shelter down the road

Wilson makes sense given his strengths are the lineout and contact area. With England Borthwick did that role with Hatley taking the scrum. So Wilson fills the hole in day to day coaching that SBs specialties filled. He also adds a lot of experience to support Wigglesworth. I'm very happy with that news.

A defence coach to fill the hole left by Sinfield would bolster things even further.

Happy with that - wonder if that’s HC or DoR?

Also wonder what that means for other coaches?

Will Wiggy want to be under Townsend? If so, another ex- back in the coaches do we need to sign a forwards guy in there too?

Still hoping for something like:

DoR - Townsend
HC - Wiggy
Defence - Tandy
Forwards - Brett Deacon
Attack - Everard
Backs - Smith
Scrum - Harrison

Would be a solid group imo!

I would like to see Oghre back.

Really do hope we see Martin in more at lock he looked good v Irish, adds that extra carrier.

try build two back 5 packs with good carrying options
4. Chessum, 5. Martin, 6. Hanro, 7. Reffell, 8. Wiese
4. Wells, 5. Henderson, 6. Willis, 7. Cracknell, 8. Jansen

RB is that Jack Willis, and is it wishful or do you have intel?

[RagingBull]

Wishful haha
With his brother moving back to the Uk makes me more hopeful I guess, especially since he wouldn’t fit with Sarries I don’t think
