Who makes the catch and pass in the 1st clip, I also believe you see Mike Williams in the last clip of them pushing the tackle bags
In the first clip I think I see
Ramage (good spot by SK)
Kelly
Atkinson
Cokanasiga
Browning
OHC

Two players I don’t know the one who catches and passes and one who runs a line i between him and Kelly (pretty sure it’s Whiteley)

One of those is definitely Whiteley. Not sure who the one with his back to us is, can't recall any other blondes (unless its Bassett?). I also think Mike Williams is in that clip too.

I don't think it's Bassett - he's not that blonde (assuming we're talking the guy at the beginning rather than towards the end, which is Bassett I think): https://twitter.com/LeicesterTigers/sta ... yBHxg&s=19

Good point! Only other blonde lad in the squad that we know of is George Daniels (senior academy) and it looks like a back rather than a forward to me.

The third forward with his head down pushing a tackle pad behind Heyes and Hoyt in the final clip looks like Williams to me.

It looks like Williams, only potential for misidentification would be van Wyk who sports a similar haircut though the overall features don't really fit.

Green has had to retire due to injury. It's not been announced as such but from what I understand he was gutted but had to call it a day.

Nah the leg straps give away it’s not a prop

Ethan Clamp (who runs the Leicestertigersmemes page on Instagram and did some BBC RL commentary I believe last season) reckons he saw Joe Powell (ex LI and Aussie/Brumbies scrum half) in the video. I think he’s the shorter, long haired guy if I spot correctly. Could be a smart 9 cover for the World Cup.

Awesome news
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Joe Powell, Keiron Wilkinson, Mike Williams and Matt Rogerson were all at training today apparently, plus a couple of other new faces.

Joe Powell is 100% in the video posted on Instagram, he has a pretty unmistakable haircut

I'm fairly certain the guy who receives the pass from Kelly is new and not a senior academy lad

Great stuff, gives us depth in just the right positions to go with the LH International (really hoping it's Fischetti)

That video plus the Twitter shot of OHC really makes me fairly sure its Marcus Ramage from Nottingham, who played really tidily for us in the PRC last year
