The SF is a way more important game that Wasps,it would've made more sense doing it before Wasps imo and getting it out the way

Personally I'd prefer it before the regular season game, a knockout game is going to have other focusesRugbygramps wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 9:34 amI think that’s it we have a further guaranteed home game after the wasps game so announcements will be made before then.sapajo wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 9:09 amOr wait to the semi final ?TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 8:49 am If the club is going to announce leavers before our last game that means today is pretty much it, to give fans a regular season game to say bye to them.
Used to run around with an 11, 14 or 15 on my back.

Of course my point is that we have another guaranteed home game to plan things it isn’t going a case of waiting till after wasps to see where we are playingTigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 9:38 amPersonally I'd prefer it before the regular season game, a knockout game is going to have other focusesRugbygramps wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 9:34 amI think that’s it we have a further guaranteed home game after the wasps game so announcements will be made before then.

Agreed, we have no say as we are kept as mushrooms until the club chooses to tell us.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 9:38 amPersonally I'd prefer it before the regular season game, a knockout game is going to have other focusesRugbygramps wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 9:34 amI think that’s it we have a further guaranteed home game after the wasps game so announcements will be made before then.
Without hope we are nothing, keep the faith, a Tiger for eternity

Unless there are other factors involved, despite what was said on that podcast I am far from convinced that the MVS situation has been fully resolvedsapajo wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 11:36 amAgreed, we have no say as we are kept as mushrooms until the club chooses to tell us.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 9:38 amPersonally I'd prefer it before the regular season game, a knockout game is going to have other focusesRugbygramps wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 9:34 am

We will soon know about MVS tomorrow,I’ll stick my neck out and say if he doesn’t appear in the 23 v Wasps we won’t see him again until next season

I had a chat with Dan Cole on Monday evening at the supporters do, MVS was on the same table as Dan & when I asked if he'd be back playing this season I got told no but he'd be back next season

Thanks PMVL. Hope you enjoyed your chat with Coley despite the public perception he is an intelligent guy with a dry sense of humour.
Good news re MVS and would seem to be the sensible one. Hopefully the Boks will leave him a full summer to recover and it will be like having a new signing next season
Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2021/22 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACTS: Steve Borthwick and the Chamber of Oval Park
More to the point will he play for SA this summer???

You would be peeved if he did! But I'm sure SA medical team will have a look at him

I hope that having not played in 6 months they decide to give him a preseason and leave him till the AIs to play him, it's not like SA are short of back row options

Don't want to worry anyone unnecessarily but I saw a car in Oadby today with the registration FAZZ don't know if it is the son or the dad coming as it was an Asian lady driving. I have seen rumours on here with less substantiveness.
