The Rolling Maul Mike and Elliott

Mike and Elliott enjoy the positivity brought to the club by a youthful Tigers XV as they put away an experienced Georgia Black Lion side in an exhibition game and ask the key questions - who is the star of the future, if not now, and whose morale can they damage with another bad nickname?  We also look forward to the dreaded Sale away fixture, which has rarely been a happy hunting ground - but surely that has to change soon?

We were toying with the title "we hate rugby" given the sickening feeling of throwing away a 19 point lead against Bristol, but thankfully Leicester legend Richard Cockerill stops by to tell us all about his Georgian rugby project with the national side and their franchise, Black Lion, as they come to town for a friendly on Friday night.  We do of course delve into the gutting defeat at the weekend, but as always we try to find some positives and Elliott reveals some of the discussions at the open forum with Dan McKellar and Richard Wilks.

Mike and Elliott drag themselves in front of the mic to chat about a crushing loss away at Northampton, a defeat that may spell the end of Tigers' playoff hopes.  As always, we try to find some reason and some positives in the performance, before picking ourselves back up to have a chat to old mate Joe Heyes and to get behind the boys ahead of a tasty fixture at Welford Road against a red-hot Bears side.

Mike and Elliott are joined by Daily Telegraph journalist Charlie Morgan as we prepare for a crucial fixture at Franklins Gardens against Northampton Saints.  We look at Tigers' chances against a team in (begrudgingly) red hot form, look for droplets of hope to cling on to and, crushingly, say goodbye to some pod favourites after Tigers announced their leaving list.

Mike and Elliott live back a brilliant but blustery weekend in Dublin, dampened only by a defeat to Ireland/Leinster.  We look at what there was to love about the performance and how it could set the tone for the Premiership run-in.

With Elliott out on tour, Mike is joined by Jess Bunyard and Charles Richardson to analyse an insane, marathon match up at Kingston Park and to try to find crumbs of hope ahead of a daunting (and annual) trip to play Leinster in Dublin.
