Leicester Tigers

As a sportsman I'd have preferred to have progressed or failed by my own efforts.
But if competitors don't turn up,get injured or are disqualified you get a buy. First one on me - COVID 19 fail.
Are well into the bear pit..............
Plus - another week to prepare.........

One thing i hope they are prepared for, Kockott will try to get someone sent off, either through niggle getting a response or pretending to be hit. Not one of my favourites :smt013 +1! Please don't take his dummy (pacifier) away. Great to see our strongest team as yet. Statement of intent. :smt030 ...

I rate Brian Moore. Talks sense. No nonsense player. No nonsense pundit. To be honest its only when you look inwards the problems become insurmountable. I am under no illusion Mr Borthwick knows the challenge. He has stated " 2-3 seasons to get back to where we need to be". Its every other b---ger t...

Love all the positivity. Love the W. Love the bragging rites. The team is building nicely. We have players who deserve the Tiger. However we tried really hard to loose that game towards the end of the last quarter. We have to get the confidence to see a game out, Play in the right area and not give ...

The triumvirate of Murphy, Borthwick and McGinity are key to future success. Triumvirates worked for the Romans until the backstabbing ( quite literally ) started. It appears some posters have already got the Knives out. I am willing to keep mine sheathed until we are half way through a domestic sea...

All depends which Saints team turn up. The one that wants to get bragging rights or the one who appears to be at odds with their incumbent coach. I feel that not everything is right the other (wrong end )Welford Rd. May just be me.....Now I've said it..the former will turn up. I'm hoping that everyo...

He has certainly made an impression and deserves starting jersey. He is not on his own. Its great to see the incumbents all pushing for jerseys making 1st XV selection a hard decision for all the right reasons. I think we new what we'd get from Nadolo so Henry has impressed because, to me, he was an...

Youth and inexperience against a well drilled team. gaps will happen. Doesn't matter how much effort you put in in training. A settled team with experience and a spattering of youth can make it look easy. SB worked with MF. the defence had been quite good. The defensive line pushes up as one and has...

Tigers have fielded teams with mixed experience. Partnerships/pairings and differing roles. I have to congratulate the learning experience. The coaches will be in a better position, because of this time, going forward. Yes It does nothing for youngsters mindest to get a mauling. In recent game we ha...

Card em both Simples Whilst I do understand tempers brew out of frustration and ill discipline. Whilst we are worried about head injuries and player welfare the easiest bi lateral way of dealing with it is both/all parties treated equally. No ambiguity or mitigation. Then neither team gets a disadva...

Honestly all I care about this season is the spirit and "fight in the dog"! Add to that team bonding and the musketeer"All for one...." Do results really matter this season? I have sen these signs.I have seen the performance rate increase. I have seen a defensive effort. I have seen players honestly...

Youngs box kick is now boring and predictable. Too far for a chase.The opposition read it and for me Care has overtaken Ben as England's 9 as he mixes the game better. White has to mix his game to take cement his position. Job done.... Whilst I agree with the comments about the predictable box kick...

I think J Taute needs a game or two in the squad as he needs to up his game to cement 1st team selection.
He appears to be off the pace in the Prem.
If we are selecting on merit for the biggers games to "earn the stripes" then he needs the game time.
Otherwise I'd go with posts selections.

I'm a little bemused. Ford's kicking out of hand down field was a poor tactic against a well drilled back line. All it does is come back. If field position was the tactic surely drill it into touch. Rely on our set piece to disrupt. If the tactic was to turn a heavy pack, surely a little grubber eve...

We look like nearly men. Ford didn't kick well out of hand today. Ben Youngs same old. Lavanini trying too hard.Last seasons knock ons. Sold continually off side. Then we get near to a decent result to let them off the hook. With constant changes we look like were not reading from the same book or s...
