Re: 23/24 Injury/Suspension/Absent International List

Heyes was on the sidelines...

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45

The team selection feels less important this week than how we approach the game. We've got to try and find some fluency with ball in hand. We've got to find more ways to hurt the opposition than our driving maul. After this it's Leinster and Saints and we won't beat either of them with the hyper-pra...

The club ought to be able to get a statement out to fans about a player leaving before he gets his new kit on!

Re: Saracens - Harlequins TMO

I think Austin is doing his job as a co-commentator by describing incidents like this as he sees them. It would be peculiar if it was shown on a replay and the commentary team didn't acknowledge it. It's a bit semantic, but for me, the only issue is with his calling for officials to look at an incid...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

The pack doesn't need skills, it just needs to get over the gameline for me. I'd argue we look as mediocre as we do because we don't prioritise forward skills. A sidestep, a dummy, an offload, keeping the ball off the floor are all ways of breaking the gainline, and are all employed by the best for...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45

Death by pragmatism. DMK has to have more than this up his sleeve, because the rest of the league already figured us out when Borthwick was still here. We're always told that this approach is driven by what the data says. Well... Tigers analysis team, please can you add a note to last night's data t...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45

An awful performance with the most limited game plan you'll ever see. All we had was box kick after box kick. The kicks weren't any good, the chase wasn't any better, and Glos handled them comfortably.

And yet... we just carry on doing the same thing over and over.

I'm furious.

With ball in hand, Cokanasiga is deadly. Him, Kata and Perese feel similar stylistically.

The big challenge for him is the tactical side of his defence. There have been some big holes in our line when he's played.

Over to you, Matt Everard!

I've been trying to find out how many senior games Beets has played, but can't seem to find anything. The only stats are for his SA U20s appearances.

Anybody know?

I'm very excited by signing SA's best U20 player.

The context of our squad is important, though. I don't think we can 'make do' with Hanro or Hatherell as a no.8. We need a starter. If Beets is that already (and CCS pretty much is for Quins), then it could be a shrewd signing.

Re: Tigers v Gloucester - Premiership Cup Final - Friday 15th March 2024 - KO:7-45pm

Your so right they just can’t all play together it just doesn’t seem to work, the back row look so much better with a breakdown threat in it, obviously raffell it 1st choice, but I think it looked better when ilione came on aswell as he did attack the break down but offer a slightly wider runner.
