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

In retrospect I actually thought the first 68 or so minutes was pretty good bar poor red zone efficiency. Performance falling off seems to be a problem.

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

Can I just say Whiteley, rightly is getting some criticism on his performance. He is (not on here ) getting abuse to go with criticism. That is NOT acceptable. He got in a shouting match with someone post match and invited the person to come say it to his face. I'm sorry as gutted as we are in the ...

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

I don’t like to criticise our team/players but we lost a game where the opponents only scored their first points in the 69th minute and to kick possession away with 2ish minutes on the clock to opponents with a potent attack and a man advantage was just insanity. As I leave the stadium many Tigers f...

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

So, the $64,000 question: how to give the youngsters (more) meaningful games? It's old hat but how about reforming the A league? North and South divisions to minimising travel etc costs. A teams to be a mixture of young talent, old timers returning to match fitness after injury, back up bench playe...

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

How do we even know Edwards wanted to stay? Players are not commodities to be controlled, they're actual people who make their own decisions... It's not so unfathomable that we offered him 3rd choice and he decided to take his chances elsewhere. Bristol only have Randall, Marmion and Lennon on the ...

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

Edwards leaving & Whiteley staying is a really poor decision. Agreed next seasons player recruitment and retention decisions are unfathomable. How do we even know Edwards wanted to stay? Players are not commodities to be controlled, they're actual people who make their own decisions... It's not...

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45

We've so far lost to the bottom but one team and struggled to beat the bottom team in consecutive weeks. The latter not having had a prem victory in quite some time. Despite all the pedigree of our players, something isn't quite right :smt017. We used to finish games strongly, now it seems we're des...

Just awful. I am lost for words. Two losses to Gloucester in two weeks. That's it done for me. See you next season.

It's unpleasant getting bashed by a side second from bottom. Second half better be a significant improvement.

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Unusually watched the England-Ireland game in the pub with an Irish friend who accepted England were "uncharacteristically good". England team selection mostly making sense aside from the choice of 15. Based on the evidence I simply can't understand why Steward isn't in that position v Fur...

Re: Tigers v Nottingham (A) - Friendly - Friday 09th February 2024

Didn't watch or hear any commentary from the game, but the score line says it all. Experience for the younger players is good I guess, but not so sure about the experience of being held to zero by Nottingham :smt009

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

I do wonder if Mike Brown has any interest in coaching? I'm thinking that if so, the same kind of deal with WW (part-time player) might attract him at some point.
I say this primarily as the part of our game that IMO needs help is developing our backs play...

Carnduff is going to be another special player.
He was very good as England U20.
