Re: Cockers thoughts on the Prem etc
Interesting perspective. I think the league is definitely more competitive having sadly been reduced to 10 teams. But that isn’t surprising given that plenty of talent from LI, Wasps and Worcester bolstered other teams strength in depth. But he’s right about the traditional rivalries, especially us ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
Well he's starting against Georgia Fear I’ve kicked a hornets nest with my Whitcombe comment! I would like to see how he goes in a first choice front row, then we can make a more informed comment. Hope he goes well on Friday. It's a fair comment. Our LH props have all had decent (if unspectacular) ...

Re: Black Lions match
Gotta be starting Wilkinson at 10 for me. He’s a good player and we need to show some faith in him. Manz has been kept on too so let’s see what he can do. Probably worth playing Rogerson and Basset if they’re fit to get them back on the pitch and minutes under their belt.

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
Agree about Kelly. Think he looks a little lost at 13, but at 12 his handling comes into play more which is actually massively underrated. Everyone bangs on about Dingwall but I actually think Kelly is a better passer. Really liked him in the secondary playmaker role. Think we need to accept that wi...

I know Socino and Muri didn’t play loads that season - but how much do you think they were adding every day on the training pitch. Bags of experience and seemed like people who’d get other people raring to go. Saumaki too, hardly played but when he did was a deadly finisher. You look at the backs to...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
I thought Dan Palmer came highly rated but he massively needs to sort the scrum out for next season. It’s so inconsistent and the replacement front row always seem to leak penalties regardless of who comes on. Hope we get a new S&C coach too. The longer matches go on for the more our levels drop...

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
I mean you take the first 40 minutes against Saints and 70 minutes today and we look good, especially when it comes to shutting down other teams. Positives I thought Kelly at 12 probably had his best game of the season. Martin too was massive and the best carrier on the pitch. Chessum too very good....

He’s really good at secondary receiver too which just means the whole backline looks so much better.

Re: Doom and Gloom
I’ve always wondered that season about how much did Ford basically run the attack, especially in the backs, behind the scenes in training. I think Pollard is the better player. I’ve no real evidence but just get the feeling that Ford was almost like a player / coach that season and added so much on ...

Re: Doom and Gloom
The problem with this take is that it’s too simplistic and a bit hyperbolic. I’ve seen no one on this forum not support the players or the club - just voice their frustration. If you take this season purely on its own merits then yes, fans should be patient. DMK is a proven coach and our actual stat...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
You have to hope that the new attack coach will fix many of the issues we’ve had this season. We’ve had one of the best defences this season, along with a good scrum and lineout. But we’re in bottom two of attacks this season with the least line breaks - even Gloucester have a better attack than us....

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
A big IF but I could see Chessum moving to 6 to help with carrying in the backrow, something he’s massively improved on, IF Hanro moves to 8. Might explain why we’re keeping Manz as some more second row cover. Same with Hatherell, in his last 7 games, 6 have been at lock. Some maybe some shuffling a...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
It is a failure of the system that cannot find game time for players beyond the age of eighteen. Obviously young players need games to continue development and equally obviously they have to be ready to move on to create space for the next year group. Why on earth is it beyond the ability of the RF...
