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. 

Mike and Elliott are forced to relive some painful memories from two years back as the Tigers stutter to defeat against Bristol at Ashton Gate, but find plenty more encouragement in this display as compared to that one. We chat about what went wrong and right, laud the Big Red Machine (Ches) as the new skipper and look ahead to a shot at getting back on track at home against Harlequins.

PS Apologies for some iffy sound quality from Mike - undetected microphone issue, apparently.

Mike and Elliott enjoy a gritty and encouraging win by a young Tigers side against a much more experienced Quins outfit and ask what they can take from this preseason. Plus, we preview the PREM kick-off against the Bears, and laude James O'Connor's air-mile game.

Mike and Elliott look at a conversion-less performance for the Tigers in a stuttering but ultimately confident win for the boys as they get their competitive fixture list off the mark with a W. We take a nose around the rest of the league ahead of the new, sparkly (but the same) PREM season, and look ahead to a Prem Cup fixture against Quins at the stoop.

Mike and Elliott chat about the new stash before taking a deep dive into the Tigers squad for the season and give their assessment of where Leicester will finish, naturally convincing themselves that the league title is in the bag in the process.

Mike and Elliott dust off their gobs and clean out their ears as they run through some off-season signings, backroom additions and losses and an intriguing bit of rumour surrounding a Tigers legends. Plus we ponder the quiet comms from the club and ask...where's our kit?!

Mike and Elliott round off another season of Tigers action and podcasting nonsense with a review of the season, the strides that have been taken and what there is to look forward to in the coming 12 months. Plus, Bondi joins us for possibly the least glamorous awards ceremony in sport as we pick our champagne moments from the campaign just gone.

Mike and Elliott stump up the courage to run the rule over a brave display which ultimately just fell short against the new Prem Champions, Bath. We gush with pride about the ticker of the boys, and try to piece together where the final was won and lost - through excellent play by Bath, through some errors from our lads, and - of course - some questionable decisions from sir....

Elliott and Mike hop on board the Freddie Burns roadshow to spend some time with the King of Leicester talking about how to approach a season-defining match and giving Polly some drop goal tips. We also do a deep dive into how the boys might spring an upset against a Bath side which is - fairly - fancied by pretty much every pundit, and finally get the respect that they have so far - unfairly - been denied.

Mike and Elliott celebrate one of the great semi final wins at Welford Road after the boys run out 21-16 winners in a pant-shreddingly tense win over a tough Sale Sharks outfit. We ask if the boys will finally get the respect they deserve, herald some legends who left the hallowed turf for the final time and give the seal of approval for a new song for Adam Radwan.

Bath Preview later this week!
