Also bearing in mind that for all the pre-game optimism in this thread on the McKeller thread his sacking is being openly discussed and I suspect will only intensify if we get a spanking from Saints and/or don't make top 4. Such is the fickle nature of sports fans.

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05
Bookies have Saints at long odds on to win (range 4/9 to 2/7). On handicap you can get Tigers +9 with odds of 10/11 so if you think we have a decent chance fill your boots. Saints at 3/10 and Tigers at 5/2 means bookies have 35% chance Tigers win, 65% chance Saints win. That's not long odds at all....

Re: Championship Clubs Promotion
One thing is for sure the RFU/Premiership aren't helping/driving it and until they do I don't see much changing.

Re: Championship Clubs Promotion
If the criteria is budget, infrastructure, fan base rather than on the field performance than you are talking about US-style franchising which everyone seems to be against.

Worth pointing out that Saints have not beaten us in a league match at Franklin's Gardens since before the pandemic. In fact I think every visit since the pandemic has coincided with their annual fire drill... There is a different sort of pressure on them as table toppers at home to "finally&q...

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05
Their flakiness came from lack of defence and poor scrum both of which they appear to have fixed. Yep Not sure why 1 result would make any difference to Mckellar career for most people In the one sense this is a game we would expect to lose given they are top of the league and on a high - and we ha...

Saints were a real flakey team in recent seasons. Not so now. We are the ones looking flakey. I have hope but my head says this is going to be difficult. If we do put in a performance and somehow win it, it would be fun obviously but also potentially transformative for our season and for McKellar's ...

Re: Race for the top 4.
Will be a massive bonus if we make the play offs IMO.
This is a certainly a one game at a time scenario.
One good thing is a don't think we have too many distractions/players out.
Not going into the end of season with high expectations but just hoping for the best.

Re: Championship Clubs Promotion
I hold no torch for Ealing but I am surprised at the question given what I've always read.
Is there any real evidence to say that they would turn it down were it on the table?

What evidence is there for that?
