Mike and Elliott welcome you to a mammoth pod as we: Blub uncontrollably about the departure of club legend Hanro Liebenberg;Speak to Tigers kit and logistics supremo, Jamie Doig, as part of our Tigers Family feature;Review a classic Tigers game, a win against Munster in 2007; andPreview a Prem Cup Semi Final against Bath.
Mike dips in and out of a podcast with Elliott doing most of the heavy lifting as we invite Tigers head of comms and marketing, Siobhan Moll, to tell us about the season ticket price freeze, increasing interest in the club and packing Welford Road to the rafters. Plus, David Cowe drops in to review the Quins game which sees the boys qualify as top of the group in the Prem Cup, and we launch an impassioned defence of our boy, Freddie Steward.
Mike and Elliott are joined by new Tigers hot-shot of comms, John Wiffen, in their latest Tigers Family feature to take a peak behind the curtain at the work that goes into keeping journalists and irritating amateur podcasters happy. Plus, Adam Whitty drops by to review a key win at Saracens in the Prem Cup, before we turn our attention to next weekend's double header against Quins.
Mike and Elliott introduce our new feature to run alongside the Prem Cup campaign, Tigers Family, talking to the people behind the scene at the club who make the whole thing tick. To kick things off, we chat with James Neal, Tigers' Head of Medical, about giving players bad news, working with coaches and the Freddie Burns sweepstake. Plus we chat about a very wet win over Newcastle and look ahead to a Prem Cup showdown at Sarries.
Mike and Elliott drop some bonus content, having a chat with emerging Leicester fullback George Pearson. We chat about making his mark in big games, learning from Freddie and chucking flour over your housemates' cars.
Mike and Elliott celebrate a comfortable win over an abject Quins side that had been showing signs of a resurgence, discuss a new signing and some rumours on the horizon, before looking ahead to battling our East Midlands nemesis in the next round of the Prem Cup.
Mike and Elliott look over a week of sub-optimal news - travel chaos to South Africa, a gallant defeat to the Stormers, a trip away to the reigning European champions, an injury to Radders and a Prem fixture against a resurgent Quins side. But don't worry, we find a way to be cheerful, as always.
Mike and Elliott temper joy at a thumping win over an understrength Bayonne side with concern that Radders may be struggling for the next few games, and get very excited about a new signing. Plus, we look ahead to daunting and historic trip to South Africa for the next round of European (lol) competition.
Mike and Elliott look recover from the Christmas overindulgence with a look back at a statement win over Sarries, led by the bashed-up rustler, Billy Searle. We look at a surprise success in the centre partnership, sexy attacking play, the departure of a club legend, some news and rumours and, of course, look forward to the visit of Bayonne at the weekend.
Mike and Elliott are in a festive mood as they relive a convincing thumping of the Cherry and Whites, revelling in a scrooge-like defence, a joyous attack and some Kata-led brilliance in the process. We also look ahead to the dreaded pre-New Year fixture which sees the boys face a daunting task against a revitalised Exeter down at Sandy Park...
Elliott flies solo as he is joined by the current owner of the Tigers 10 shirt, Billy Searle. They chat about recovery after the war against Leinster, what needs to be put right ahead of Gloucester, his move to Leicester and, of course, curries.
Mike and Elliott reminisce over the traditional loss to Leinster, but ponder if this particular one has far more to it than perhaps other efforts, focusing on a heroic effort from a young side missing so many stars. Plus, we wonder what is going on with the latest big departure, and look ahead to the return of Prem Rugby as Gloucester come to town.
Mike is joined by David Cowe to discuss the experience of a matchday in La Rochelle, the logic of sending a young side to the mammoth men of the French giants plus we discuss the departure of Gorgeous George. We also look ahead to the annual defeat against Leinster but ask...could this be the year we finally turn them over?
With Mike unavailable, Iain Morton comes off the bench this week to discuss the latest twists and turns in the George Martin saga, look over a well-fought win over Newcastle and preview a tough voyage to La Rochelle. In amongst this, we ponder if a real life tiger did meet Martin Johnson in the 90's!
Mike and Elliott are back in your ears to talk George Martin rumours, spiders, punch ups, derby wins, Red Bulls and frozen unmentionables. It's all highbrow stuff as always!
Mike and Elliott are joined by Tigers stalwart and chief maul destroyer Harry Wells to celebrate his testimonial season and look ahead to some of the exciting events planned, raising money for some amazing causes in the process. Plus, the usual sprinkling of international reviews and rumour analysis to top things off.
After an unexpected week-long break, Mike and Elliott return to catch up on accounts, transfer rumours, international call ups, wins over Sale and Newcastle and Emeka Illione's mental carrying mentality. We also look over the first eight games of Geoff's reign and find plenty to be positive about.
Mike is joined by good friend of the pod, Iain Morton, who steps in for Elliott as he's away on his jollies, as they marvel at a gutsy, last minute win over the champions, Bath, thanks to a dominant scrum and some serious plums from Billy Searle. Plus, we look ahead to the always-brutal fixture against Sale, and ask if this is actually a pretty good time to play them...
Mike and Elliott review an hair-tearingly frustrating performance against East Midlands rivals, Northampton, as the boys go down to a narrow defeat which leaves us asking why Tigers seem to be struggling to take that final step to scoring at the moment. Things don't get easier as the Prem champions come to town and we preview our home fixture against Bath.
With Mike unavailable for selection, David Cowe is summoned from the subs bench to fill in to help review a topsy turvy win over Harlequins. We also process the sad news about Tigers hero Lewis Moody, as well as look ahead to the usual blood and thunder encounter with local rivals Northampton this weekend.
