Mike and supersub David Cowe grapple with away fan zone trials, transfer rumours and "DoyleGate" before delving into a convincing but weirdly stop-start win over Gloucester for the Slater Cup at Villa Park. Plus, we look ahead to the simple matter of a trip to reigning champions Bordeaux in the Champions Cup...

Mike and Elliott look back on a crazy, madcap end to a thrilling win over the Bears which saw Geoff Parling's side take another step towards the holy grail of 'total rugby'. Plus, we talk injuries, returnees, and another instalment of the Slater Cup at Villa Park this Saturday.

Mike and Elliott celebrate the first trophy win of the Parling era, following a 66-14 demolition of the Chiefs in the Prem Cup Final. We talk relentless defence, ruthless attack and the Tom Whitely "b*tch slap". We also jump into an impassioned defence of the Tigers boys away with England following some ludicrous criticism, and look ahead to some Prem action with the Bears coming to town.

Mike and Elliott host a special Prem Cup Final preview podcast with break team news, breaking transfer rumours, and unstable hosts as Mike records on a Friday night after a bottle of wine. Plus, we speak to young Tigers 10 Tom Threlfall about saving the day at the last minute, balancing Champ and Prem Rugby, and making his mark in the Tigers first team.

Elliott is joined by David Cowe for a review of a comprehensive win over old rivals, Bath, who admittedly sent the kids over for some reason. Still, it brings up the first shot at silverware in the Parling era, and Mike will be back to join Elliott for a special Prem Cup Final preview episode later in the week!

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; and
• Preview 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.
