Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm

To be honest, it does feel a bit of a missed opportunity. Woodward is going to be in the Senior Squad next season anyway, so would make sense to have him on the bench over Phil C. FTT over Dolly makes more sense, especially as they are similar players and Whitcombe should be starting over Van Wyk. ...

Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm

I expect there to be lots of injuries for this side to be picked We are playing and picking people who will not be here next year - sorry but Dolly and Cockasinga do nothing for next year Could make other arguements for players like FVW but why oh why are we playing a full back / fly half on the wi...

Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm

Seems about as strong as we could go with chessum and Montoyas injury, expect for as others have mentioned van wyke starting over whitcombe, surely these kind of injuries show we need to be giving the young players here more game time to get them upto or as close to the 1st choice standard as possib...

Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm

After some of the review from Friday I’d like to see some of the young lads rewarded with game time, especially in position we’re likely to need them next season. Also thought Kelly had his best game of the season with Scott back in running the defence so he could be the 2nd distributor, and would b...

Re: New Kit Launch Next Monday???

I thought it might be something to do with global partnerships, like with the owners of leicester city. But I wouldn’t be against a return to the old days when we used to wear next seasons kit in the last game of the season. I think the kit will return to the dark green with a light green strip thro...

Re: Black Lions match

I have mixed feelings about this fixture and the team we have selected. I mean no disrespect to the youngsters selected, but against a strong Black Lions team they are likely to get a good hiding, and I do not see how that helps their development, or what we as supporters will get out of it. This w...

Re: Billy Vunipola arrested

Ok hypothetical... IF Montpellier pull out of their deal for him IF we assume our squad as is (ie no more back row signings) IF we had cap space (at a possibly cut price deal) Would we be interested in him on a 1 year deal? I have to admit I thought about that myself, and it would be up there with ...

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

I thought Kelly had a very good game, I feel the time at 13 might help with his line running side of things. If he can get back to his old form with a bit more speed that will be a big boost. Handre, Kelly, Scott combo worked well. Yesterday for me the backs looked better in attack it's just this t...

Re: Doom and Gloom

Overall this season the whole "Tigers" brand etc had looked a bit off, stick it all together & it creates a scenario of it all being a bit. The team(s) results & performances haven't been great. We have had a issue with a coach in both the Men's & Womens team. Another salary c...

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

Again we lost a game from a stupid box kick , 2 minutes to go in there half and we give them the ball back , it can only come back to the coach, he needs to go , we have gone backwards Agree I think it is a coaching issue, but not necessarily Mckellar’s fault completely. As I’m not convinced Youngs...

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

Dont want to get involved in politics , dont know a Tigers woman player's name , but do we spend money on them at the expense of quality men, under the guise of'diversity??' I’d have thought we only have 1 pot of money that everything has to come from. The idea of running a women’s team is a great ...

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

These last few games seem born out of our poor and cheaper journey men recruitment over that last 2/3 seasons, and an inability to consistently bring talent through our academy. Now I appreciate we’re not millionaire own like bath so can’t go out and buy a new 1st team squad like they have, but sin...
