The Rolling Maul

With Elliot high rolling in Vegas, Mike is joined by Jess Bunyard to chew over 'that' video announcing Ellis Genge to Bristol, as well as looking over the home win against Connacht before looking ahead to an away fixture, ironically, at Ashton Gate against the Bears. Mike also chats to Pete from the Bears Beyond the Gate podcast to get their perspective on the recent 'dramaz' between the two clubs.

In an unprecedented and frankly unwelcome emergency episode, Elliot and Mike collectively blub over the shock news of captain Ellis Genge's decision to leave the club [Apologies for poor audio quality, it was such an emergency that Mike didn't have time to set up his mic properly].

Elliot and Mike measure a fine glass of an away win in France and compare it to other big wins in Europe and look ahead to their home fixture against Connacht. Daily Telegraph rugby boffin Charlie Morgan joins us to pick apart the uptick in form, whilst the inside centre spot for Cult Corner is announced.

Elliot and Mike sweat over recollections of a predictably tight victory over the reigning champions, Harlequins, whilst celebrating a return of 2010 vintage Ben Youngs. Plus, we look forward to European Cup action in France and announce the 10 shirt's proud owner in Cult Corner.

Elliot and Mike are joined by the Harlequins Podcast as they look forward to one of the most anticipated games of the season on Sunday, and look back on some of the classic encounters between the sides and discuss Will Greenwood's penchant for cruel nicknames. In amongst all that, they also mull over incoming transfer rumours and run the rule over half backs for Cult Corner.

Due to a scheduling error, Elliot and Mike are joined by BBC Radio Leicester sports gurus Chris Edgerton and Adam Whitty, as opposed to the Covid supremo himself who bares the combination of the two names. Adam and Chis help us chat through the George Ford move, pay tribute to the great Bleddyn Jones and review the demolition of a young Wasps side, whilst Elliot and Mike announce the winner of the number 8 shirt in Cult Corner.

Eliot and Mike give their emergency take on the George Ford rumours, confirm the removal of Alex Sanderson from all Christmas Card lists (and offer sincere apologies to his brother Pat, who we blame for all of his ills) and look over Tigers' sweet victory over Sale in the Cup. Plus, the winner of the 7 shirt is announced in Cult Corner.

Elliot and Mike 'spout' off about the win over a battling Bath, try to cheerlead for the Premiership Cup, chew through some gnarly opensides in cult corner and lead a scathing first term review after the first 8 rounds of Premiership action.

Elliot and Mike are joined by Tigers' legend George Chuter as they gracefully gloat over a savaging of the Saints at Franklins Gardens, discuss Chutes' undercover impressions of Deano and look forward to a Friday Night Lights fixture against a wounded Bath side.

With Jess Bunyard stepping in for Elliot this week, the pod picks through the bruising encounter with Sale before looking ahead to the first East Midlands Derby of the year next week. Also, Squidge Rugby stops by to talk about the Tigers' rediscovered identity, the brilliance of George Ford and the likely winners of a rugby-based Great British Bake Off.
