Poor young Umaga has quite a job to live up to his fsamilies exploits in the game. Mike, Tana and Jerry Collins...wow.

But he's at a great club and if he's got the ability they'll certainly get it out of him.

From what I have heard he is one of the more highly regarded youngsters in the academy, been told think Manu but with a "Better" pass and creates chances for others (although Manu does that quite well anyway imo) hence why he plays 12/10 often. but he is 16/17 so a lot can change in that time.

Any idea how much we can expect to see of Javiah Pohe ? Also does anyone have any clips of him playing ? Thanks

 

[Jaguares]

Pablo Matera will undergo shoulder surgery...

Slater is officially Club Captain no surprise but great to see another Lock as captain, he is a natural leader. Can't wait to see him and Kitchener parent up when they get into there "Prime age".

Erm, not sure due to Allen not being considered ATM for England and Bai playing very well in the pre-seasons, I would say maybe 1 or 2 games outside the LV cup, trouble is he isn't versatile enough to play elsewhere so bench option would be limited. Tricky I guess it depends on how the team is playing and what position we are in the league etc, etc could see him covering 13 as well though.



Only televised game he has played is here:

Thacker also has a great 2nd half in that game.

Pablo Matera will undergo shoulder surgery...

Bugger was hoping he would be pushing Salvi for the starting 7 towards the end of season, this may hamper that.

I have this concern that he will go to Argentina when they form a Super rugby team.

Okay time to forget last weekend:

Laurnance Pearce gets his first tigers game tonight in the A league his power and speed in a underpowered pack could just be what we need. Who knows but ***ans fans rate him better than Dickerson at saints.

Tom Youngs out for 3 Months

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I'm eagerly anticipating my call up to the Tigers squad.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Marcos Ayerza, Tom Youngs and Dan cole have signed long term deals (3 years beilieved)

That's our Starting front row secured.

 

[j'nuh]

Fantastic for Leicester fans.

Pretty scary for the rest of us.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Pretty scary for the rest of us.

...not least of all Argentina. That means no Ayerza for the Pumas after the World Cup

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

...not least of all Argentina. That means no Ayerza for the Pumas after the World Cup

So that means he will be with us for the start of season and the AI period.

:O this gets better and better.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Terrifying.

Heard your manager's a ****, though

 

[Big Ewis]

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

No Watson?

Maybe not sure TBH.

Also Young Harry Thacker is captaining Tigers A @ 7 not Hooker today.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Could be a good shout.... think his size is going to be an issue in the front row.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Could be a good shout.... think his size is going to be an issue in the front row.

Scored a hat trick today all from linout drives (He has a total of 7 lineout drive tries this season in A League, AP and LV cup appearances) Could be potentially another Neil Back.

 

[ratsapprentice]

If he turns his attention to jackalling I think he could be a ****ing nuisance... he's perfectly built for it, and he doesn't necessarily have to worry about his size as an openside.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Wouldn't surprise me if he becomes a 7 with Farnworth coming up we are not short on Hookers but with Matera going (Not confirmed yet) we could use another 7.
