Without knowing the full context of the game you just can’t say. Montoya is one of the best hookers in the world but is on the bench tomorrow following injury. Also they have a full 23 man squad and are as likely as not at that age using rolling subs.Chobbsy wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 12:30 pmIf he is being muted as the best U18 in the world, why is he on the benchTigers86asw wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 12:29 pmMiell comes from one of the best rugby schools in the world.

Not unusual for some of these big Boks lads from the likes of Greys and Paul Roos to move around. Just seen an article from May 22 asking if he was the best u18 player in the world.
He was on the bench for the game. He will be used to a very competitive environment.

He’s signed for Ealing for next year. (Allegedly- last I heard he had signed for them for this year as well )RagingBull wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 9:32 am Tom West signed for rest of season .
Good sign for getting him long term, difference between rest of season and short term
On a side note I’m absolutely over the moon. I’ve known Westy for some years since he was on loan from Wasps’ senior Academy to Nottingham where I sponsored him for two seasons.
Brilliant player and a nice guy.
I shall definitely be making more of an effort to get to matches now!

I suspect Tom West had a clause in his contract where he could move to a Prem club of the offer arose. Be a blow for Ealing as West would be more than a match for nearly every Championship tighthead.TheChild wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 6:40 pmHe’s signed for Ealing for next year.

It certainly looks like the signing of Miell is a great bet for the future. He certainly looks a big unit at 18 and lets hope we can develop him into the world class player some people say he could be.

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 - Prisoner of Oadby Pre-Season
We signed Phil Cokanasiga as a promising young centre from LI where he often started or came off the bench for them. Since joining Tigers he has gone from starting then to the bench. He then disappears off the team sheet and is now starting for Nottingham. What has happened to him?
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

Last season started TWICE for London Irish, both times in the PRC. His other three appearances for London Irish were off the bench, two of them were in the PRC. He literally had 19min of Premiership rugby last year. He's played 161min for us in the Prem.
I suspect he's loaned out to Nottingham to give him gametime before we lose Kelly to England and to ensure he's match sharp if/when we need.
To say he was a regular at LI is wrong though.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 - Prisoner of Oadby Pre-Season
Recall that he was wearing a boot back in August so am guessing that he is returning from injury and being given some game time with Nottingham as part of the rehab,sapajo wrote: ↑Fri Jan 20, 2023 1:42 pm We signed Phil Cokanasiga as a promising young centre from LI where he often started or came off the bench for them.

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 - Prisoner of Oadby Pre-Season
But he’s played since then Tigerbeat. Just think with the return to fitness of Kelly he has dropped a little down the pecking order, and due to limited opportunities needs some game time.Tigerbeat wrote: ↑Fri Jan 20, 2023 1:55 pmRecall that he was wearing a boot back in August so am guessing that he is returning from injury and being given some game time with Nottingham as part of the rehab,sapajo wrote: ↑Fri Jan 20, 2023 1:42 pm We signed Phil Cokanasiga as a promising young centre from LI where he often started or came off the bench for them.

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2022/23 - Prisoner of Oadby Pre-Season
As he plays 2nd row and all across the back row his versatility makes him ideal to have on the benchRugbygramps wrote: ↑Thu Jan 19, 2023 12:32 pmWithout knowing the full context of the game you just can’t say.

Burns gone early. We must be happy with Atkinson then!

Also probably a suggestion our injury issues at fullback are ending... OR this gives us cap to bring more in
