Bath Binned - Prem Semi Final Review

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; andPreview 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.

Mike and Elliott celebrate a comfortable win over an abject Quins side that had been showing signs of a resurgence, discuss a new signing and some rumours on the horizon, before looking ahead to battling our East Midlands nemesis in the next round of the Prem Cup.

Mike and Elliott look over a week of sub-optimal news - travel chaos to South Africa, a gallant defeat to the Stormers, a trip away to the reigning European champions, an injury to Radders and a Prem fixture against a resurgent Quins side. But don't worry, we find a way to be cheerful, as always.

Mike and Elliott temper joy at a thumping win over an understrength Bayonne side with concern that Radders may be struggling for the next few games, and get very excited about a new signing. Plus, we look ahead to daunting and historic trip to South Africa for the next round of European (lol) competition.

Mike and Elliott look recover from the Christmas overindulgence with a look back at a statement win over Sarries, led by the bashed-up rustler, Billy Searle. We look at a surprise success in the centre partnership, sexy attacking play, the departure of a club legend, some news and rumours and, of course, look forward to the visit of Bayonne at the weekend.
