The Rolling Maul

Mike and Elliott are joined by their Bath Rugby podcast counterparts to preview the renewing of an old rivalry at the Rec on Friday, plus we're joined by new enforcer Olly Cracknell, a man who seems born to be a Tigers forward. Plus, we chat about the double header, new signing rumours and a controversial option at 12 for the Homegrown Heroes XV.

With no match to review but a historic double header at Welford Road to look forward to, Mike and Elliott are joined by men's skipper Hanro Liebenberg and women's second row Georgia Westwood to chat about their respective seasons so far. Plus, Bobby Bridge joins us to discuss the situation at Wasps and Tigers' new signing, Charlie Atkinson.

Having missed a week due to badly organised holidays, Mike is joined by Jess Bunyard to look over a superb return to form against Quins at the Stoop and discuss the outstanding start to the Women's inaugural season with head coach Vicky Macqueen. Plus, we throw you a frankly unfair scrum half conundrum in our Homegrown Heroes feature.

Elliott and Mike are joined by the hero of the Tyne, Guy Thompson, to chat through life after rugby, his time at the Tigers, and uncomfortable propositions received after his iconic performance against Newcastle. Plus, we ask if it's time to worry after a blunt display against Sale and look ahead to a trip to the always dangerous Harlequins.

Elliott and Mike face the day they've always dreaded, a good old-fashioned thrashing at the hands of one of your rivals. We look at what went wrong at the Stone-X and rummage around for some positives, before looking ahead to a brutal home fixture against Sale. Plus, we announce the winner of the 6 shirt in the Homegrown Heroes Feature.

Elliott and Mike are joined by the wonderful Telusa Veainu, a man who lit up Welford Road as one of the Tigers' best ever attacking players. We talk about his time at the club, his love for the fans and, weirdly, his penchant for pasties. Plus, we review a crazy derby win away at Saints and look forward to a tough trip to the Stone-X for a rematch of the 2022 Premiership Final, as well as announcing the winner of the 5 shirt in our Homegrown Heroes feature.

After getting bagged to the beyond about boring rugby, the Tigers turned it on in an imperfect but entertaining win against Falcons, which we pick apart before looking forward to the first East Midlands Derby of the year. Plus, we're joined by legend Leon Lloyd to chat about his iconic Tigers' career, where he sees the current crop and life after rugby.

Elliott and Mike react to an opening day defeat against the Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park, engaging the helpful services of Captain Hindsight in the process. Plus, we look ahead to a fixture against Newcastle which takes on extra significance and announce Leicester's best homegrown hooker (for legal reasons, we have to specify this refers to the number 2 shirt on a rugby team).

Elliot and Mike are joined by the Voice of Rugby, Mr Nick Mullins, to chat about the intricacies of narrating the sport's greatest moments and to have a look at how the rest of the league is shaping up ahead of the Premiership season. Plus, we announce the winner of the 1 shirt for the Homegrown Heroes feature and preview the opening fixture against Exeter at Sandy Park.

Elliot and Mike return for the long-awaited second season of the Leicester Tigers' Fans' Podcast with the second album curse at the forefront of their minds. We chat over summer club news (signings, contracts, rumours and some, shall we say, unwelcome sponsorships), look at the shape of the Tigers squad and predict our heroes for this year. Also, we introduce the new Homegrown Heroes feature as we look to select the best Tigers XV produced on these fair isles.
