Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm

[sam16111986]

Have to go strong for the last two games. Want to finish higher than 8th given Glaws in the Euro final.

Got as strong as we can for Sale away, maybe incorporate a couple of the young stand outs who deserve it but we need points and Sale do seem a little fragile if you can stay in the fight for the full 80.

I've only seen the clip of Kinder's try, but by all accounts he was excellent against a decent senior professional side.

Give him a go, what's the worst that can happen?

Kinder was eggcellent…..

I assume this was the verdict of Kinder's scout?

[RagingBull]

Heard the report said he was bueno

Brown may be available as his red card was the result of two yellow cards…..next Friday is classed as a competitive game

I thought he was banned for “disrespecting the officials” (i.e., swearing at them), not for the 2 yellows.

Apologies, my comments were before the charges for disrespecting the officials emerged. Usually under the totting up process for yellow cards or the nature of the two yellows he got would result in a 1 match ban.
He was given a five week ban, of which three weeks are suspended. Therefore he only misses the Georgia and Sale game. If he re-offends then the three week ban will come into place.

It does, and it's impressive.

A bold backline. If we really want to win, rather than just try things out, is it sense to have an untested centre pairing?

[johnthegriff]

Now is not the time to experiment, Steward at fullback, Shillcock on the bench. Kelly and Scott in the centre with Kata on wing although Kinder is a viable option, last week he showed there was more to his game than just his run for the try, either player could have an impact off the bench.

Not the time to experiment and we go with Kata on the wing? Yeah, no.

Kata as bench impact. Try and keep the side the same with a few minor tweaks, mainly to the bench. Only adjustment to the starting XV Vs Bristol would be giving Kinder or Gourlay, Brown's spot.

Bench mix it up a bit, Whitcombe, Hatherall, Carnduff, Kata, Youngs to come in there for van Wyk, Wells, Cracknell, Cokanasiga and Whiteley.

If Heyes is fit he'd come in for Hurd but not sure he is yet.

After some of the review from Friday I’d like to see some of the young lads rewarded with game time, especially in position we’re likely to need them next season. Also thought Kelly had his best game of the season with Scott back in running the defence so he could be the 2nd distributor, and would be interested to see if kata could do a similar job to Nandolo on the wing.

I’m all for experimenting in these last to games, if it helps build for next season, I’m not even that concerned if we didn’t make the champions cup next season if somehow Gloucester manage to beat the sharks. But I thought Freddie steward had even come out himself now and pretty much said he has no interest in switching to centre, and he was focused on what he needs to do to be tigers and England 1st choice 15.
