Six tries scored, six conceded. Two points earned, three left behind. Tigers’ 38–40 defeat to Saracens was a frustrating start to the season, partly due to key players missing — but there was plenty in the attacking play to give David and Millie hope.

We pick through the slow start, Gabriel Hamer-Webb’s hat-trick and the moments that decided it, before looking ahead to Newcastle. And we reflect on the 745 Game, which gave the day at Mattioli Woods Welford Road a meaning far beyond the result.

A win in Cork, Billy Searle staying put and the small matter of Saracens to come… the Premiership season is finally here!

David and Millie look back at Tigers’ 32–24 friendly win over Munster, discuss Searle’s new deal and the latest news from around the club, before looking ahead to Sunday’s Gallagher Prem opener against Sarries at MWWR.

Plus, we’re joined by Tigers fan and MND fundraising warrior Mike Dixon, who tells us about his latest challenge ahead of the 745 Game and the three charities being supported.

Signed, Searle, Delivered… now for Sarries! 🐯🎙️

A slightly shorter one this week – after a performance like that, probably best not to dwell on it for too long!

BULLdozed by Newcastle at home and 26–0 down before the fightback – is the Tigers glass half full, half empty, or is it just time for another pint of BrewDog?

Is a storm brewing…or is it just Thunder?

David and Millie dissect the defeat, discuss rumours of a star Tiger staying put and pick this week’s three-word Premium Review for the Revival Rum prize draw.
