Mike and Elliott deal, not for the first time, with the sad news that a head coach will be off following the confirmation that Michael Cheika will be leaving the club at the end of the season, and then have a deep dive into who will be filling the void next year. Plus, we are joined by Iain Morton to review the Premiership Cup win against Saints before looking ahead to another home fixture against Nottingham in the same competition.

Mike and Elliott return after a week off to attempt, unsuccessfully, to solve the same old riddles that keep plaguing our beloved Tigers side after an officiating-inspired collapse against Gloucester sees an opportunity for a depleted Tigers side slip through their fingers. We also look into a raft of exciting re-signings and look ahead to what will likely be a heavily rotated fixture against our old friends, Northampton, in the Premiership Cup.

Mike and Elliott rave about Freddie Steward's goal kicking (does he remind you of a certain other legendary Tigers 15??) and Michael Cheika's hairdryer treatment as the boys overcome a slow start and show glimpses of brilliance in a comfortable win over Ulster. Next up are the reigning champions, Toulouse, where nothing less than an absolute thrashing of our French friends will be acceptable...

Mike and Elliott go bonus podding by sitting down with young Tigers star Emeka Illione to ask him about the development of his game, balancing studies and rugby and finding out whether or not there is anything he is actually bad at...

Mike and Elliott take a breather after a pant-ruiningly tense game against Exeter which saw the boys come good at the end, another bonus point win but one which still leaves a number of questions unanswered. Plus, we talk about some potential good news around the corner to be shared by the club and look ahead to the visit of Ulster in the European Cup.

Mike and Elliott awaken from their festive slumbers to relive a nerve-shredding draw - unbelievably, the third consecutive Big Game draw - against Harlequins. Questions around consistency and defence continue to rear their unwelcome heads, but we take solace in the fact that we were rescued by a last minute screamer from Dan Cole. We then turn our attention to an opportunity to get back on the horse proper against an Exeter side coming in off the back of their first league victory of the season in a Double Header at MWWR.

Mike and Elliott wonder who was on Santa's naughty list to deserve the drubbing handed out by the brilliant Bears as an unwelcome early Christmas gift. We look at what went wrong in an afternoon to forget before hauling ourselves back together with some festive cheer to look ahead to the Big Game against Harlequins, and celebrate some important re-signings.

Mike and Elliott celebrate an emphatic win over the Hollywood Bet Sharks and purr at the attacking plan that looks to be coming together. We chat through some key re-signings, rumoured comings and goings, and look forward to a festive bash against the Bears.
