Re: Champions and Challenge Cup Semi-finals - 2024
Byrne as a replacement for Sexton is a massive step down. Is there anyone else in the wings?

Re: Cockers thoughts on the Prem etc
If you read you the round ball fans forum they are bemoaning the same thing in regard of fan noise and coming up with all sorts of reasons why - with no real conclusion.
They do seem to think it's a Leicester thing but I suspect it's not.

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
After all the vitriol posted by certain keyboard warriors towards the officials, I’ve just watched the game on tv to see what I missed live. I can only offer two instances where they got it wrong and it materially affected the game. The first was when Cronin flew into a ruck almost from the Bristol...

Yeah, kind of my point. It was a marginal call, that went our way.

Lot of talk about the officials and some of their decisions. We were lucky they disallowed the Oghre try - looked a flat pass to me.

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
Regrettably I have seen nothing recently to suggest that under this coach we will improve. Witness the same comments by supporters after every game. I don't blame the players. The way they play is an indication of how they are being coached - not very well from what I can see. I really think some p...

I agree that there are a number of reasons we should go full bore for this one.
If by the time we play Sharks we are out of top 4 but safely in Champions Cup then let's focus on blooding people for next season.

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.

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...
