Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
Looks about as strong a team was we can put out, great to have Reffell back after going off last week though he’d miss this week he’s probably going the be the most important player on the pitch to slow their ball down. Also great having Martin in the row hopefully again we can dominate up front and...

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...

Fair points. I am just frustrated when I see ex-Tigers do well elsewhere: I would prefer them to do well whilst at Welford Rd. TBH I think I would have preferred JVP and White competing as our top two 9s at the moment…although we’d have been in trouble if both were away for internationals! I suppos...

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)
Seems a pretty odd decision to let Edward’s go whilst giving Whitley a new contract, he’s done a job but realistically he’ll never be more that a 3rd choice. Which Edward’s surely could have done next season before taking over from youngs when he retires and at 21 sure could only get better with som...

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
I like us to do a mixed time of youth and experience, I know it’s unlikely we’ll make the top 4, I still don’t want to just send out a team of kids. I also like to see Wilkinson get a start with the starting pack to see what he can do, and if it goes wrong bring pollard on. With that in mind I go, W...

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
Time to try players in roles where they might be needed next season for my money. I'm thinking: - Ilione at 7. We direly need a jackal threat when Tommy isn't playing. - Cracknell at 6. It was his best position at LI where he was well suited to back rows with multiple all-rounders rather than stand...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
I have often posted that Tigers lack genuine pace and a ball carrying threat. I thought we solved that issue signing OHC and Watson not to mention Wiese. Strikes me that OHC as has been widely muted is a different player from when he was at Irish, Watson is still long term injured and Wiese is off....

No matter how you spin it the words ""I'm not worried about the play-offs" as well as other reported quotations came from Mckellar. His complete sentence ""I'm not really worried about the play-offs, I just want to worry about our performance." does not magically make ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
I always think on the big players you want them settled down. So on Pollard (presuming his contract finishes 2025) as soon as the season finishes I'd have two offers for him. 1) A contract extension for a further two seasons (to end in 2027) on good terms. 2) A transfer to a SA franchise. Basically...

IDK I'm not that sold on Jordan, he played really well v us, but how much is that coming back to the old club to prove a point? I don't think he would want to come here for 4th choice lock and I don't think he's good enough to be what I would want for 3rd choice. Henderson is def a must keep. Hones...

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05
A lot more optimistic about the game now I’ve seen there team, I work with a few Northampton fans and their not pleased about the rotation they think this should have been a priority game for them. Shame there not Martin or Liebenberg but still feel we should have enough in the forwards to get on to...

Re: Champions' Cup Quarter finals 2024
Great to see two English sides in the semi finals but I don’t think they will progress any further, Toulouse and Leinster will be far to strong for them, should be a great final if those two get to the final. Leinster are in South Africa for the next two weeks. Saints have to travel up the A50. Pre...
