So my point remains, of the 20 odd coming and goings the best between the 2 of us can muster is 4 - 5 betterments.

I’ve been saying the same for months - the Experience and quality has dropped off the edge of a cliff since the PL win. It’s not the be and all and end all but I count 15 internationals in the first group and 10 in the second with Porter and Scott going and only Perese coming (so far) its another o...

It's been reported by the Telegraph as already sorted. Peter Hewat. A really good appointment to be fair. I've largely been negative recently but Hewat took a Brumbies attack that was diabolically bad after Jake White's efforts and turned them into an attacking force. He's also won two Top League t...

Why on earth did he kick it away - didn’t we do something similar a few months ago

Our replacement front row is so weak - I’m not convinced by Hurd at all

I must have missed it but Mullins and Goode suggesting an attack coach has been appointed for next season.
Leftfield but has anyone seen Joe Ford’s name thrown about?

Great to see OHC getting space to show his gas - I’m happy to eat my words and hope it’s a sign of things to come

Re: Doom and Gloom
I appreciate this is not the point of the thread but I just think we've lost (for a wide ranging and multi faceted set of reasons) many of our best players this past 2-3 years and replaced them with bang average. As noted on other threads, come the summer we'll have lost Genge, Dolly, Nephi, Green, ...

Strong XV bar Brown on the wing, he's going to need all his experience for this one. The bench looks weaker than I'd have liked. No impact from the front row subs, Wells and Cracknell are in squad filler form (I'd have preferred Hatherall and Carnduff). No Benny means we're hoping JvP plays the ful...

Unfortunately--------------Steward wont be considered at Full Back for England unless he radically improves his speed and directional running. Plus his defence isnt that great Neither are Hodge or Carpenter, the nos 2 and 3, but, they can catch and are miles quicker Furbank has improved in leaps an...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
I agree - we have talented, international players in our backline. But we have a malfunctioning system. Our double WC winner barely makes an imprint on games. Kelly and OHC have gone from international recognition to a prolonged struggle for form. The master of the skies, Fred, has lost his Eng pla...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
I disagree. If you've got multiple threats in the pack it becomes very difficult for the opposition to target your breakdown threat and mark them on game. The Irish national team being a great example of this where so many of them are great over the ball but also physical on both sides of the ball....

11.9 for 100m? That's slow. International wingers are under 11, some closer to 10.5. He wouldn't have made the 1960s Welsh team with that speed. Might be a typo TBH. 10.5 with boots on, in winter and on a grass field? I think that is optimistic - Bryan Habana's best time on a track was 10.4 by all ...
