Interesting to see Fred in there.... given that he's a ****ing massive front rower.

Yeh Fred has been moved to Number 8 last season and TBF has trimmed down a bit. Def more of a Henry than a Manu though.

Quick run through the Tigers squad (Age in brackets)
1 Sam Lewis - England U18 Lock just promoted to senior academy (18)
2 Harry Mahoney - Academy Hooker just promoted to senior academy (18)
3 Charlton Kerr - Former Wasps U18 Full Back last season guessing this is a trial for him. (18)
4 Harry Simmons - England U19 Scrum Half last year plays also 10 and 15 promoted to senior academy this season (18)
5 Ben White (c) - England U18 Scrum Half Youngest ever Tigers primiership player when he came on last season promoted to the senior academy this season (18)
6 Sam Yawayawa - England U18 Winger/13 promoted to Senior Academy last season (18)
7 Jordan Olowofela - Winger/13 Senior Academy last season (18)
8 Freddie Tuilagi - Number 8 Was in the senior academy last season and is in it again this season (19)
9 Tommy Reffell - Welsh Openside was Ospreys North U16 captain move to Leicester before the begining of last season currently in our junior academy (17)
10 Tom Hardwick - Son of England Prop Rob Hardwick he is an England U17 10/15 currently in the junior Academy (17)
11 Ollie Russell - Tigers junior academy player plays in the back 3 (17)
12 Andy Brown - full back in the Tigers Junior Academy (17)

So yeh that is a young team.

When did Paolo Odogwu jump ship to Sale? I can remember watching him for Leicester in the 7s last year.

You obviously can't remember him playing for Tigers last year in the sevens as he was injured before the competition started.

He moved his season for from what i gathered where complicated reasons.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Bit disappointed we've not put a couple of first teamers in there - can understand not wanting to risk a back three player as we're paper thin there with injuries and players not yet arrived, but Jennings and/or Neild would've been good to see.
Excited to see the Curry twins, though.

Oh crap yeah, he was still on the programme though- I was confused at the time. Wasn't impressed by his replacement at the time though probably an academy lad? Were there twins or do I have early onset racism/shortsightedness?

Fred really is channelling his inner Henry.

Judging from the sale scoreline he was channelling his inner anddy

Freddie was banned for the sale game.

TBF he was always going to do well in sevens, XV's we will find out.

 

[ratsapprentice]

I only managed to watch the last two games.... Fred looked decent - not suited to 7's, but he's got legit athleticism and he threw one really nice pass.

He looks like a XV's 8

 

[ratsapprentice]

Definitely, might have a future.

Good to see a proper Tiger kit, too.... shame about the away version.

The company I've got work experience with has just been taken over by Breedon and at the first meeting of the new CEO with the staff he mentioned he'd had some "interesting" emails about the away kit.
