Just double checked the team photo in the Mercury and he isn't pictured. Seems a bit odd really.

Lewis Moody isn't either so they probably weren't available.

I wouldn't worry too much!

Looks like Seru, Matt Smith, Wig, Ian Nimmo (possibly on loan) and Lewis Moody didn't turn up for the photocall either as all the pen pics are from last season.

They don't appear in the team shot either!

The idea that one of the most popular of Tigers' current players is overseas and playing RL, and we have not been informed, is, to me, ridiculous. The Club would not treat us with such contempt. It simply isn't possible.

Another missing figure is Ollie Smith, the Leicester centre, who has gone to Brisbane to train at the Broncos rugby league club to try and rejuvenate himself.

Moody probably wasnt in the pic either as he is still recovering from surgery on his arm. Apparently picked up a very bad infection and was in danger of losing his arm at one point. According to the article in the Sunday Mail.

I hope Lewis is back fit soon.

Why is Ollie still in Australia, he should be back with us rather then playing another sport. If Ollie is to stay out there a long time, the club should make an announcement. Otherwise, for the peace of mind of all, he should be back here very soon and doing what he is best at. It is getting a bit annoying really! :x :x :x :x

You give the Club the benefit of the doubt, and look what happens!!

Why is that so disgusting? Why are the club treating us with contempt? What business is it of ours what an individual does in the close season?

Iain, please stop being so aggressive or you will lose yet another forum member because I am getting tired of your attitude. I never used the word disgusting for a start, and secondly if he is out in Australia playing RL he is not a likley starter for Sunday. That is my business (unless you think which players might play for the Club on any given matchday is not the fans' business) and the Club not keeping us informed is contemptous, if only slightly.

Now, calm down, please.
