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

Not sure I’ll bother turning up for the Exeter game next week. Got far more interesting things to do, jet washing the patio, cutting the grass, watching paint dry, to name just three. Lot of fair weather fans showing themselves this last couple of weeks. Not a fair weather fan, a season ticket hold...

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

More garbage, no longer interested in what McKeller has to say. The guy clearly has not got a scoobydoo. I have said since half way through the season that I did not think he was the right man. Seen nothing to change my opinion in recent weeks, indeed quite the opposite. Not sure I’ll bother turning...

Re: Black Lions match

I have mixed feelings about this fixture and the team we have selected. I mean no disrespect to the youngsters selected, but against a strong Black Lions team they are likely to get a good hiding, and I do not see how that helps their development, or what we as supporters will get out of it. This wa...

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00

Just back from the game, very disappointed, there simply is no excuse for loosing a game from 19-0 up with 12 minutes to go. Replacements just not up to the task, especially Whitely, kicking possession away with two minutes to go, unforgivable. What should we have done? Well in the olden days the fo...

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05

Not the Head Coach’s fault…..mmmmm….. not sure I agree. Whatever the issues are, and let’s be honest, there are quite a few, eg no attack coach, poor player engagement, poor levels of fitness, no nous and guile with very predictable play, lack of discipline, to name just a few. The responsibility fo...

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05

Have not watched this game so cannot comment on who played well or who did not. However, last time I looked rugby union was a game for fifteen not fourteen or thirteen, which is how we seem to play it. Just exactly how are we supposed to compete with anyone if we cannot maintain discipline and keep ...

What a load of absolute carp, two moments of inspiration - JVP in the first half, and Shilcock/OHC in the second, apart from that, utter rubbish. :smt019

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45

Last night’s failure in my view comes down to coaching deficiencies. Defensive lapses, lack of direction in attack, poor decision making, lack of conditioning, poor place kicking, poor box kicking, I could go on! We have good players playing at a level that is far below the sum of their parts. I do ...

Re: Tigers v Gloucester - Premiership Cup Final - Friday 15th March 2024 - KO:7-45pm

Pretty good in defence for 38 minutes in first half but that is about it. After that abject rubbish, hopeless indiscipline, yellow cards, down to thirteen. Offered nothing in attack for 70 minutes, finally woke up for last 10 mins, but if DM thinks that is enough he is sadly mistaken. I have renewed...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

You have to question the Coach’s judgement when he selects Furbank over Steward. As someone said elsewhere, it is like choosing Cornflakes over Cocopops!………….Why would you do it? :smt005

Re: Other matches - 19th - 21st January 2024

So, thanks to the utter numpties that designed this farce of a competition, in our section of the draw we have Ireland er…… sorry I mean Leinster, La Rochelle, Leicester and Stormers. Wasn’t that more or less the group we were just in! You could not make this stuff up - the game is being run by idio...

Re: Tigers v Leinster (H) - Champions Cup - Saturday 20th January 2024 - KO: 3-15pm

Unlike last week, today I thought the team as a whole put in a good effort . However, I am done with this joke of a competition, I will not bother attending another match in it. What is the point when the playing field is not level. On my reckoning Leinster fielded 9 of the last Ireland internationa...

Re: Tigers v La Rochelle (A) - Champions Cup - Sunday 14th January 2024 - KO - 3-15pm

Who is talking about knee jerk sackings, or even expecting a win against La Rochelle? Certainly not me. That said, I think we are entitled to not be massacred and embarrassed who ever the opposition is. We should expect better skills from full time professionals than we see, and when it is clear tha...

Re: Tigers v La Rochelle (A) - Champions Cup - Sunday 14th January 2024 - KO - 3-15pm

I have every sympathy for whatever personal issue is keeping Alan Dickens on leave of absence. But that lack of a backs and attack coach is killing us. I wish today was a one off, but sadly it is not. Our attack is lack lustre, yes we can maul and the forwards can do their stuff close to the line, b...

Re: Tigers v La Rochelle (A) - Champions Cup - Sunday 14th January 2024 - KO - 3-15pm

Anybody who was thinking we are anything like the finished article have seen just how far off we really are. It is not that we are being beaten by a good team, it is the fact we are so utterly hopeless in attack. How can you go up against a team of thirteen and then make three unforced errors and co...
