Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

People talk about Borthwick bringing through young players and McKellar not. It's really not that simple - when Borthwick was here there were a few really good youngsters emerging. Steward, JvP, O Chessum, Martin, Reffell, Heyes. 4 or 5 of those are now bordering on world class. The current crop of...

I get your argument lock is extremely important especially for a team like us who are forward orientated, but that season there where an extra 6 games and no international break . But in that squad only green, snyman and wells where senior plays chessum was 21, Henderson 22, Martin 21, and chessum ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

Not sure whether I find the number of players getting early releases concerning or not. On the one hand, if they are not part of our plans for the season then getting them off the wage bill makes sense. On the other hand, and this may just be me, there does seem to be more than the usual number of ...

I mean last season we got to the Semi Finals and in all reality could've beaten Sale if not for Pollard pulling out before the game due to his calf. I wouldn't call it a transition year either, if anything we looked worse before Borthwick and Sinfield left. Walters I feel will turn out to be the big...

I know it didn't go down too well on here when i suggested it last time, but i do stand by thinking that we need to look at upgrading Harry Wells. I appreciate he is a good club man, but the last 2 games against Gloucester he was completely ineffective. Tbh i'd say the same about the Ealing game as...

Thought Basham was mates with OHC at LI? Tbf I do agree somewhat about Hatherell. If he could rediscover the form he had for Worcester / La Rochelle I’d have no problems with him starting. He showed then he was a great carrier. Something he hasn’t quite shown in a Tigers shirt yet but the ability i...

Re: Sam Carter

I mean, maybe he went for a medical first. Can't really announce a player until it's all done and dusted. Let's say he arrived in Aus Monday. Had medical Wednesday and signed the contract that night. From a marketing POV we are announcing a player Thursday, playing a game Friday night, then it's th...

I just hope it’s not an Aussie that was at brumbies - all far too cosy if so…. I'm guessing that the implication is that Rod Seib is going to come up from the Brumbies to be our attack coach next season. If that is the case then i don't see any issues with it. Ultimately McKellar has got the job be...

In terms of signings my personal preference would be 5 more I don't think we will get it though. Van Wyk, Richardson, Carter, Rogerson, Cracknell, Wiese, Wilkinson, Scott, Porter (I hope not), Watson - Out Smith, Beets, Perese, TH Lock, Back Rower, Fly Half, Centre, Wing = In (Hear me out but maybe...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

Just a thought and I’m not looking for an argument here but has Englands attack moved on maybe because Farrell isn’t there? Maybe but we was just as awful in the first 3 games. It really felt like the rumours of players and coaches telling him to practice attack moves before the Ireland game are tr...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

Having Wiese has been a huge luxury for us over the last few years (in the sense that there aren't many of his type around.) I'll genuinely be interested in how we go about the 8 role next season and who gets the shirt. I did notice on Facebook that someone had commented that, to them, it was evide...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

Considering his age to say that Dolly is past it is genuinely crazy to me. I would even argue Hatherell has been pretty good for us, he's no Wiese but no one is. I thought Hatherell looked great v Quins when you know we had another ball carrier playing with him with Wiese at 8. The biggest problem ...
