Remove the Jacket of Smugness - Saracens (H) Review, Glasgow (A) Preview

Apr 01 2025 81 mins  
Mike and Elliott have to remove last week's jacket of smugness as they come to terms with a frustrating loss at home to Sarries, along with the even more frustrating non-news in respect of the head coach and fly half search. Plus, we look ahead to a challenging fixture up in Glasgow, where a win would do wonders for the morale around the club.

ANOTHER Franklin's Fire Drill - Saints (A) Review; Sarries (H) Preview

Mar 23 2025 95 mins  
Mike and Elliott record the podcast out of Smug City following a beautiful nilling of Saints on their own patch. We ask how much of that was due to great Tigers play and how much was down to Northampton having the worst case of the dropsies known to man. Plus, stay tuned throughout the episode for developing news on the Gustard situation, and we also look ahead to a home game again

The Run In - Munster (H) Review, Northampton (A) Preview

Mar 18 2025 63 mins  
Mike and Elliott look at a potential hurdle in the Gustard appointment and enjoy the news (and reaction) that the Premiership will be trialling OPTIONAL away ends. We also pick apart a friendly win against a young Munster side and look ahead to an East Midlands derby which is sadly blighted by a case of "who-is-available-itis".

The Munster Mash - Ben Volavola Interview, Fly halves, coaches and Munster (H) Preview

Mar 12 2025 65 mins  
Mike and Elliott chat about some exciting and perhaps optimistic fly half rumours, the prospect of Gustard arriving as head coach, and a mid-season pre-season match against old rivals from across the sea, Munster. Plus, we speak to Fiji and Tigers fly half Ben Volavola about his experiences overseas, attacking rugby, and why he hasn't sampled a pork pie yet.

Off the Ball - David Kidwell, Handre Pollard and Season Tickets

Mar 02 2025 93 mins  
Mike and Elliott return from a week away to find all sorts of off-field developments taking place. The arrival of defence specialist and NRL legend David Kidwell, the departure of Handre Pollard and questionable comms on season tickets dominate the chat, but there's plenty more churn around the squad to discuss too.

Stimmo - Tim Stimpson Interview, Coventry (A) Review

Feb 18 2025 111 mins  
Mike and Elliott speak to Tigers' legendary fullback Tim Stimpson in a no-holds-barred rollercoaster of a journey through his Tigers career, largely involving fighting and public urination (allegedly!) (by others!). Mike also reveals a slightly mad challenge for later this year to raise some money for good causes whilst we unsuccessfully try our hand at commentating on the highligh

Leaving Legacies - Nottingham (H) Review, Coventry (A) Preview

Feb 11 2025 78 mins  
Mike and Elliott churn through some chat regarding player retention, replacements for Cheika and a potential reshuffling of the coaching cabinet, before we turn our attention to a comprehensive yet frustrating win over Nottingham. We also look ahead to a tricky away fixture at Cov, and predict how the team will be shaping up for that...

Cheikout - CHEIKA OFF! Replacements discussion - Saints (H) Review, Nottingham (H) Preview

Feb 02 2025 111 mins  
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

Kingsholm Collapse - Gloucester (A) Review, Saints (H) Preview

Jan 28 2025 100 mins  
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 fixt

Full Stimmo - Ulster (H) Review, Toulouse (A) Preview

Jan 14 2025 76 mins  
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
