Leicester Tigers

I've been saying this for a while now. My preference as soon as Wiese said he was going was to find a nasty lock/6 hybird type player that sale do really well with finding. (Largely because Wiese is pretty much impossible to replace like for like) He will always give his all, but the drop from Mart...

I know it didn't go down too well on here when i suggested it last time, but i do stand by thinking that we need to look at upgrading Harry Wells. I appreciate he is a good club man, but the last 2 games against Gloucester he was completely ineffective. Tbh i'd say the same about the Ealing game as...

We would have won if Shilcock hadn’ t come in too fast and missed two tackles that led to two of their tries. Seems a lot of blame being put on shilcock, he wasn’t great but who was, I personally thought for Harris try Raffell had come up way to fast living everyone behind and in order to try and t...

In terms of signings my personal preference would be 5 more I don't think we will get it though. Van Wyk, Richardson, Carter, Rogerson, Cracknell, Wiese, Wilkinson, Scott, Porter (I hope not), Watson - Out Smith, Beets, Perese, TH Lock, Back Rower, Fly Half, Centre, Wing = In (Hear me out but maybe...

To be honest with you I could except not making the to 4 we’ve had a completely new coaching team. I could except losing matches like tonight, if there where any signs of change of style of play , but there’s not it’s still, just kick, kick and kicks some more. If we were bring through young players...

When I saw the team I thought we’d dominate up front, but unfortunately I think playing Cole, chissem and raffell was a mistake they looked tiered and no where up to their level which meant we looked short in the forwards. Left weise carrying one out every time running into 3 men with no other ball ...

Can’t see use playing Cole, chessum or raffell on the back of a 6 day turn around having played every round of the 6 nations as much as we need them. Could see Martin on the bench maybe but he put in a massive shift against Ireland and no doubt will do the same this week, and I think will have to mu...

Watched the whole game on the box so it is not as good as being there but I really could not see the reasons for the yellows. The ref did say enough penalties very quietly but did not make it clear that the next offence would be yellow as most refs would have done. I have looked long and hard about...

Harhwrall, Rogerson, Hanro, Cracknall are all very similar players but Hanro is by far the best and most effective so has to play as much as possible. Playing 3 of them in the same team just doesn’t work IMO and we looked more balanced when Ilione came on and Cracknall also made a difference. Your ...

Glos fans around us were furious with their 9 & 10 in the first half, so much kicking. We handed that to Gloucester no question, discipline killed us and gave them a lift. Even after going so far behind we had driving lineout chances, but coughed the ball up. Agree about comments on Kelly, what...

Does anyone know if the boy playing tomorrow including Tommy are available next Friday, with just the 6 day turn around. As realistically if no will the forwards be much different next week with just the addition of Montoya and weise.

Poor performance all round. But the few positives thought cokanasiga look a threat ball in hand and the most like to spark something. (Pollard needs a ball carrying 12.) ilione looked a threat over the ball.( have to have a jackaling 7) shillcock looked a safe set of hands and strong has to be given...

Yes the refs poor and has got them back into the game. But back to 5 years ago we’ve fallen apart, no idea in attack we’ve look tired dispite 7 weeks off. Hopefully the players coming back in can turn this around otherwise it’s going to be a long run in to the end of the season.

I agree the issue isn’t with Furbank it’s more with Daly and now to a certain extent Manu being picked ahead of Steward, at the very least on the bench. Furbank is a better footballer than Steward no doubt, but I’m not sure I agree he’s done that much in 2 games. For Lawrence try as I mentioned the...

Given the obvious change in mindset I’m not sure he did. Freddie would have run Lowe’s kick back and easily scored the try. You have to weigh positive attack against defensive frailties. I think the selection was spot on and you could say that Furbank contributed to the win. Consistency is the key ...
