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

Rumours are we have def signed another 12. But I don't think the squad looks as bad as people suggest, given it's not even June yet in terms of signings. See I don't get this, we need a 13 not a 12. Options at 12 next year brackets mean secondary position... Kelly Kata (Perese) Woodward (Myall) Opt...

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

Just announced that Ollie Devoto is leaving Exeter. Would love to see him at Tigers Devoto is more of a 12 I think, so would have thought this was unlikely. To be fair though DMK likes to play players in all kinds of different positions (e.g Shilcock on the wing), so we could have him in to cover l...

Re: Hosea Saumaki - Dark Horse | Leicester Tigers Tribute

Saumaki and Kini are very good players, but they've played nine times between them this season. They didn't play much more last season either. I really like both of them, but it's not efficient use of the cap to keep on two guys that we don't use. Other than an odd spark, Simmons, Ashton and Potter...

Re: Head On : Rugby Dementia and Me

The only way you are truly going to protect players is if you either make the game some form of touch rugby or you just disband the game totally. Either way the game of rugby does not survive

Re: Head On : Rugby Dementia and Me

It is a deeply sad thing what has happened to Steve T, however I'm an ex-player and we all knew what could potentially happen by playing a full on contact sport like rugby. There are many more professional players (like Lewis Moody) that have put their heads in awful places on multiple occasions and...

Re: Hosea Saumaki - Dark Horse | Leicester Tigers Tribute

Excellent, Stan! Does anyone have any real info on why we see so little of him? I think it mostly down to where he is in the pecking order. Currently above him as wingers: Watson Potter Ashton Steward (if say Brown or Atkinson at FB) Porter (if not at centre) Simmons Then there's him & Murimuri...

I’ve not been too impressed with Harry Potter this season. He’s been average at best in my opinion.

Re: Tigers post Borthwick - next Head Coach?

It's a massive loss and in my honest opinion will kill any hopes for success this season. You can't lose two of your most influential coaches, which equates to almost a third of your coaching staff and not suffer. Wiggy is a great guy but he has almost zero coaching experience and considering he has...

Re: Next England Head Coach (Pre &/or Post World Cup)

I would be disappointed if Steve decided to ditch us mid season and I would be disappointed in the club to allow it. I've also seen the rumour that he would be taking Sir Kev too.

Do think Tigers have missed a trick to raise additional funds by not live-streaming both games on the website for a small fee.

Re: Tigers v Saracens (A) - Saturday 01st October 2022 - 3-00PM

Our attack in the midfield and out wide is extremely woeful. Attack was clueless. I do think Saffers got away with a lot. This new crop of refs are truly awful. Having said all of that I don’t think we deserved to lose by that margin.

Never put Steve Borthwick down as a liar, but there is no way that Freddie’s substitution was an injury

Re: SALE (A) - Sunday 30th January 2022 - 3-00pm

Agree with all previous posts. Lot of respect for the coaching team but the decision to take Freddie off and put JVP to full back ultimately cost us the game.
