Leicester Tigers

How good and close is the working relationship between Pollard and McKellar?
A TV commentator/analyst (don't recall which) recently made what I thought was a key observation - how crucial this relationship is to club performance.

There is no doubt that DMK, so far, is a conservative approach coach. Perhaps this is a reflection of what he has inherited, and the overall ingrained heritage of the club which has clearly been a strong factor in both his appointment and how the team is playing, this season. But there must now be s...

Would be no surprise if Tigers do not win another game this season, based on the two defeats to Gloucester. There could well have been a virus which has hit the squad, but there also seems to be some lack of cohesion, which may grow rather than reduce.

No, Austin Healey wasn't on duty

Yes I think his parents decided he should move to Dublin at the stage you said.

Seventeen of tomorrows Leinster team came through the Leinster schools/club system. One was poached from Connacht. One is from Ulster but studying in Dublin. Two Kiwis, one Samoan and a Springbok. Is Ringrose the one poached from Connacht? If so, isn't he from Athlone in Westmeath (Leinster side of...

Almost 26,000 there yesterday? Accept there was a sizeable contingent from Northampton who probably could hardly believe their good fortune. But how many non-frequent purchasers of a ticket for that game, of a Leicester persuasion, will be buying again anytime soon? Leicester cannot afford to go bac...

I hear that an experienced, international level head coach has just become available

The coaching team need to treat that game as if it was a 33-33 draw

I guess it make the Newcastle game a must must win game. Loser goes down. I think we will turn them over and Bristol and Bath. Some positives from the game...except the score line, defence at times and lack of passion at times! For that to happen, training early this week needs to include the playe...

It is easy to form the impression that the directing of the club is via a collection of individuals whose responsibilities and accountability is not clear, and who, if pressed, tend to say "that's not my area". This tendency is always accentuated when the Organisation they are supposed to ...

The powers that-be could begin by losing their suits and ties, their personal offices, and come down to ground level. Sit at desks in the ticket office and take phone calls from supporters, especially ones cancelling their season tickets.

Why all the binary-ism?
Grumpy clappers are majority

If this was soccer ball, you'd be half expecting the club to bring in someone like Sam Allerdyce or Harry Redknapp to shore things up and try to avoid "the drop". I can see where things could be going next at Welford Road, just to finish off the job....

Congratulations all at Leicester Tigers. Over the past five years, a huge amount of work has been done, in so many ways, to transform the club into a rock solid league bottom three certainty with no possibility of making progress to the knockout stages of cup competitions. Those in charge should be ...
