With Elliott off on wedding duties, Mike is joined by Tigers fan Darrin Bouch as they pore through the latest news and rumours before looking ahead to the last home game of the regular season - and the chance to secure a home semi final - against Newcastle. Plus, we're joined by Tigers attack guru, Peter Hewat, to discuss what makes a good attack a…

With Mike on a plane back to Oz, Jacob Bassford of Sister Podcast The LTW Fancast comes in as supersub. We review a disappointing afternoon at The Rec, and wonder if there was any coaching mind games at play. We also reflect on last week's coaching announcement in more detail, as well as review last week's new signings and leavers. We also get an u…

Mike and Elliott host a somewhat chaotic episode which has an edited news section shoehorned in to cover the announcement of Geoff Parling as head coach for next season, with Bondi joining us for the news. Plus, we revel in a brilliant atmosphere and even better result after a crucial win over Sale, before looking forward to a challenging (and expe…

Mike and Elliott look ahead to what promises to be a brutal battle at Mattioli Woods Welford Road as Tigers host an in form Sale side with playoff places - and maybe even second place - on the line. Plus, we are joined by the turbo charged Adam Radwan, who jets in to tell us about how he's found his feet at Tigers and where *that* celebration comes…

Mike is flying solo this week as Elliott sails the North Sea, but the bat signal went up and Bondi responds! The Tigers Comms guru sits down to reveal the key points from the "Meet the Board" event, put some rumours to bed and chat through a convincing bonus point win over beleaguered Harlequins which saw Adam Radwan pop his jet shoes on.…

Mike and Elliott get the jacket of smugness back out of the closet following a nervy-yet-comprehensive win over the dangerous Bristol Bears, revelling in a performance of solid basics and vicious, intelligent defence. We look ahead to a key game against Harlequins which could cement playoff hopes and, dare we say it, put us in a good position for a…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott utilise yet another week of no news to effectively make their own news about who the new Tigers figurehead is likely to be, but we deduce that an announcement cannot now be far away. We also look ahead to a daunting trip to Ashton Gate and try to figure out a way to stop that incredible Bristol attack, which is hard enough to artic…

Mike and Elliott get very grumpy as they review a chair-throwingly frustrating loss up in Scotland against Glasgow, with the mild benefit that at least we won't have to lose to Leinster this year. We also dive into the weekly muddy pond that is the world that is head coach rumours, but there are some potentially sweeter waters when it comes to the …

Mike and Elliott have to remove last week's jacket of smugness as they come to terms with a frustrating loss at home to Sarries, along with the even more frustrating non-news in respect of the head coach and fly half search. Plus, we look ahead to a challenging fixture up in Glasgow, where a win would do wonders for the morale around the club.…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott record the podcast out of Smug City following a beautiful nilling of Saints on their own patch. We ask how much of that was due to great Tigers play and how much was down to Northampton having the worst case of the dropsies known to man. Plus, stay tuned throughout the episode for developing news on the Gustard situation, and we al…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott look at a potential hurdle in the Gustard appointment and enjoy the news (and reaction) that the Premiership will be trialling OPTIONAL away ends. We also pick apart a friendly win against a young Munster side and look ahead to an East Midlands derby which is sadly blighted by a case of "who-is-available-itis".…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott chat about some exciting and perhaps optimistic fly half rumours, the prospect of Gustard arriving as head coach, and a mid-season pre-season match against old rivals from across the sea, Munster. Plus, we speak to Fiji and Tigers fly half Ben Volavola about his experiences overseas, attacking rugby, and why he hasn't sampled a por…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott return from a week away to find all sorts of off-field developments taking place. The arrival of defence specialist and NRL legend David Kidwell, the departure of Handre Pollard and questionable comms on season tickets dominate the chat, but there's plenty more churn around the squad to discuss too.…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott speak to Tigers' legendary fullback Tim Stimpson in a no-holds-barred rollercoaster of a journey through his Tigers career, largely involving fighting and public urination (allegedly!) (by others!). Mike also reveals a slightly mad challenge for later this year to raise some money for good causes whilst we unsuccessfully try our ha…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott churn through some chat regarding player retention, replacements for Cheika and a potential reshuffling of the coaching cabinet, before we turn our attention to a comprehensive yet frustrating win over Nottingham. We also look ahead to a tricky away fixture at Cov, and predict how the team will be shaping up for that...…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott deal, not for the first time, with the sad news that a head coach will be off following the confirmation that Michael Cheika will be leaving the club at the end of the season, and then have a deep dive into who will be filling the void next year. Plus, we are joined by Iain Morton to review the Premiership Cup win against Saints be…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott return after a week off to attempt, unsuccessfully, to solve the same old riddles that keep plaguing our beloved Tigers side after an officiating-inspired collapse against Gloucester sees an opportunity for a depleted Tigers side slip through their fingers. We also look into a raft of exciting re-signings and look ahead to what wil…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott rave about Freddie Steward's goal kicking (does he remind you of a certain other legendary Tigers 15??) and Michael Cheika's hairdryer treatment as the boys overcome a slow start and show glimpses of brilliance in a comfortable win over Ulster. Next up are the reigning champions, Toulouse, where nothing less than an absolute thrash…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott take a breather after a pant-ruiningly tense game against Exeter which saw the boys come good at the end, another bonus point win but one which still leaves a number of questions unanswered. Plus, we talk about some potential good news around the corner to be shared by the club and look ahead to the visit of Ulster in the European …
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott awaken from their festive slumbers to relive a nerve-shredding draw - unbelievably, the third consecutive Big Game draw - against Harlequins. Questions around consistency and defence continue to rear their unwelcome heads, but we take solace in the fact that we were rescued by a last minute screamer from Dan Cole. We then turn our …
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott wonder who was on Santa's naughty list to deserve the drubbing handed out by the brilliant Bears as an unwelcome early Christmas gift. We look at what went wrong in an afternoon to forget before hauling ourselves back together with some festive cheer to look ahead to the Big Game against Harlequins, and celebrate some important re-…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott look back at a bonkers game in Bordeaux which saw the boys go down fighting against a vastly better funded and star-packed Bordeaux pack, and ask how close Tigers were to a monumental upset. Plus we get excited about the prospect of some Sharks (and some brai) coming to town...By Mike and Elliott
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott returned after an unscheduled week off to discuss a whole bag of news and rumours - Where is Corne Beets? What can we garner from the latest set of accounts? How sh*t is the latest franchise idea being banded about? We also look ahead to a Premiership Cup match at Nottingham, which will hopefully see the boys regain some momentum a…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott are joined by new signing and former Cov star Will Wand to discuss outside centre skills, the step up from champ to premiership rugby, and tedious name puns. Plus we pull apart a disappointing display away at Franklins Gardens before looking ahead to bouncing back against Coventry at the weekend.…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott enjoy another unnecessarily tense victory, but also savour the rare taste of a win at Saracens', which comes of a side of sitting pretty second in the league. We also look ahead to seeing some emerging talent take centre stage in the Premiership Cup and drop in a new, very basic feature for sh*ts and giggles.…
  continue reading
 
With Mike flying back to Australia, the squad depth is again utilised as Iain Morton joins off the bench as we look over a nervy win over Gloucester, discuss possible signings as we enter Transfer season and are joined by Barry Pain of the Fezcast podcast, as we look ahead to an intriguing rumble in North London as Tigers travel to Saracens.…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott jump headfirst into a packed podcast which pulls apart the Derby Day triumph over Northampton Saints, revels in the new bruising yet confrontational style which is brewing, and look ahead to the Slater Cup against an unpredictable Gloucester side. Plus, Mike gets overly excited about a new nickname duet he's coined and wants to tra…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott seethe over the rank injustice of another RFU ban for a Tigers employee, and struggle to contain themselves at what the apparent standard for "disrespect" is. We also review a comfortable win over Newcastle, asking ourselves how much we can really take from it, before looking ahead to another bruising derby day.…
  continue reading
 
Mike rejoins the pod from Australia as he and Elliott spew about a revolting injustice at the hands of the RFU, in the form of a significant ban for Kata. We also pull apart the narrow loss to Bath, ruing what could have been but getting excited about what perhaps is to come against Newcastle next weekend.…
  continue reading
 
With Mike travelling to his new life in Australia, the podcast is steered (temporarily) by a new Captain in Elliott, with Jess Bunyard joining to assist. There's an interview with Tigers legend Ben Kay, as well as big dog Charlie Morgan from The Telegraph joining to dissect an amazing last minute win down in Exeter. We also look ahead to a tasty ho…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott have the privilege of being joined by Tigers legend Martin Corry to chat about long lunches, glory years and young talent, whilst separately casting an eye over what the first pre-season game against Nottingham promised for the season ahead and looking at what we want to see next up against the Scarlets.…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott behold a magnificent new European jersey, get excited about Fijian international Ben Volavola popping up and make idiots of themselves by predicting how the rest of the Premiership will fare this year. Do not use our guesswork as gambling advice. Even more hopeless than our league predictions are our stabs at what the Tigers XV wil…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott fire up the dreaded "emergency podcast" klaxon and awake from their peacefully chaotic summer slumbers to react to the stunning news that Dan McKellar has left the Tigers "by mutual consent". We look at whether or not it's the right call, the bizarre timing of the announcement and who is likely to step into the breach. Plus we chat…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott endure a review of yet another loss as the wheels sadly come off for this season, but as always we try to find some rational reasons as to why and find some positives...even if it looks like they will only be in play next season. We look forward to a last hurrah for some club icons who will sadly be leaving the club after facing Ex…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott enjoy the positivity brought to the club by a youthful Tigers XV as they put away an experienced Georgia Black Lion side in an exhibition game and ask the key questions - who is the star of the future, if not now, and whose morale can they damage with another bad nickname? We also look forward to the dreaded Sale away fixture, whic…
  continue reading
 
We were toying with the title "we hate rugby" given the sickening feeling of throwing away a 19 point lead against Bristol, but thankfully Leicester legend Richard Cockerill stops by to tell us all about his Georgian rugby project with the national side and their franchise, Black Lion, as they come to town for a friendly on Friday night. We do of c…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott drag themselves in front of the mic to chat about a crushing loss away at Northampton, a defeat that may spell the end of Tigers' playoff hopes. As always, we try to find some reason and some positives in the performance, before picking ourselves back up to have a chat to old mate Joe Heyes and to get behind the boys ahead of a tas…
  continue reading
 
Mike and Elliott are joined by Daily Telegraph journalist Charlie Morgan as we prepare for a crucial fixture at Franklins Gardens against Northampton Saints. We look at Tigers' chances against a team in (begrudgingly) red hot form, look for droplets of hope to cling on to and, crushingly, say goodbye to some pod favourites after Tigers announced th…

Mike and Elliott endure talking about another defeat to Gloucester in the Cheese Derby / Slater Cup and ponder what it means for Tigers' playoff hopes. We search for some positives before looking ahead to a tricky fixture away at Newcastle with their pesky, gobby coach - Mr Steve Diamond.By Mike and Elliott
