The Rolling Maul

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 ahead of the Premiership restart.

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.

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.

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. 

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 trademark.

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.

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.

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 home fixture against old rivals Bath. 

Mike and Elliott rip through a punchy podcast to look ahead to an intriguing season opener against the Exeter Chiefs and wonder why on earth nobody is banging the drum for an Anglo-Welsh league.

With Elliott away with his feet up, Tigers superfan Iain Morton joins Mike in the metaphorical sofa to discuss the promising signs against the Scarlets in Tigers' pre-season game and the concerning implications of a new EPS Agreement with England...
