With Jess recovered from jet lag and Jacob recovered from a post-exam Otley Run, the two JBs are back for one final episode of Season 1 to do an End of Season Review. We briefly review the last game of the season against Exeter Chiefs before announcing our coveted, no-expense-spared, highly prized LTW Fancast End of Season Awards. We then debate on how our season has gone, going over on-field stuff like attack, set-piece and defence but also off-field stuff such as marketing and social media of women’s team. With player departures and new signings still to be confirmed, we also have a chat as to where we think this squad is at and what needs to be done to allow big improvements for next season. We then round off our end of season review with quality podcast journalism of cheap digs at Loughborough Lightning and musings on the weather. Enjoy!

Jacob is once again joined by the wonderful Alex Bugg to process a sad 24 hours for the club, in which the team yet again failed to turn up at home followed by the news on Sunday morning that Vicky MacQueen will be departing the club at the end of the season. After giving a cathartic review of the game, and paying tribute to Vicky as well as recently announced soon-to-be retirees Becky Noon and Ofure Ugiagbe, we hit speculation season as there’s plenty of unknowns to digest as to what will the club do next before returning to more realistic grounds as we preview our final home game of the season against a Chiefs side looking to get some momentum going into the play-offs.

With Jess dialling in with voice notes from New Zealand reacting to a sensational win by Canada over the Black Ferns and positives from Tigers' defeat to the Bears, Jacob is pulled out of his deadline slumber by being joined by the wonderful Alex Bugg to co-host.

We go over some of the positives from the Bristol game, especially getting that try-scoring bonus point and nuance some of the negatives as we look as to why our defence struggled against the Bears. We then go over the nominations for our inaugural LTW Fancast Awards before delving into the role our Tigers Eagles and Canadians played in getting their superb wins in Pac 4 and herald their timely return just before our final home game of the season against Sale.

We round off the pod by getting excited by that Sale game, how Tigers could look to build up the previous weeks into a performance that can get us that elusive prize, our first top-flight victory at Mattioli Woods Welford Road but are also weary of Sale, fresh off a bye week, looking to avenge their home defeat to us earlier in the season. Enjoy
