Mike and Elliott jump headfirst into a packed podcast which pulls apart the Derby Day triumph over Northampton Saints, revels in the new bruising yet confrontational style which is brewing, and look ahead to the Slater Cup against an unpredictable Gloucester side. Plus, Mike gets overly excited about a new nickname duet he's coined and wants to trademark.

Mike and Elliott seethe over the rank injustice of another RFU ban for a Tigers employee, and struggle to contain themselves at what the apparent standard for "disrespect" is. We also review a comfortable win over Newcastle, asking ourselves how much we can really take from it, before looking ahead to another bruising derby day.

Mike rejoins the pod from Australia as he and Elliott spew about a revolting injustice at the hands of the RFU, in the form of a significant ban for Kata. We also pull apart the narrow loss to Bath, ruing what could have been but getting excited about what perhaps is to come against Newcastle next weekend.

With Mike travelling to his new life in Australia, the podcast is steered (temporarily) by a new Captain in Elliott, with Jess Bunyard joining to assist. There's an interview with Tigers legend Ben Kay, as well as big dog Charlie Morgan from The Telegraph joining to dissect an amazing last minute win down in Exeter. We also look ahead to a tasty home fixture against old rivals Bath.

Mike and Elliott rip through a punchy podcast to look ahead to an intriguing season opener against the Exeter Chiefs and wonder why on earth nobody is banging the drum for an Anglo-Welsh league.

With Elliott away with his feet up, Tigers superfan Iain Morton joins Mike in the metaphorical sofa to discuss the promising signs against the Scarlets in Tigers' pre-season game and the concerning implications of a new EPS Agreement with England...

Mike and Elliott have the privilege of being joined by Tigers legend Martin Corry to chat about long lunches, glory years and young talent, whilst separately casting an eye over what the first pre-season game against Nottingham promised for the season ahead and looking at what we want to see next up against the Scarlets.

Mike and Elliott behold a magnificent new European jersey, get excited about Fijian international Ben Volavola popping up and make idiots of themselves by predicting how the rest of the Premiership will fare this year. Do not use our guesswork as gambling advice. Even more hopeless than our league predictions are our stabs at what the Tigers XV will look like ahead of the season-opening friendly against Nottingham on Friday night...
