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

I agree about George Martin not going on tour with England as he needs a Summer to have a decent preseason! Trouble is, along with Earle, Borthwick sees George as the main enforcer! Sadly George was injured before half time v France but still played after half time! As for Bristol: for me it’s a mus...

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05

Was at Franklins and in the first half their fans were worried. I was worried for us as the amount of defending we were having to do had been incessant and all those Saints’ players are incredibly strong and fit. Like in other games we butchered two tries which if scored would have seen Saints have ...

Re: Televised Games

I’ve travelled to most away games and teams like Newcastle, Quins, Gloucester, Bath, Bristol have had great attendances as will Sale.
I’m awful at watching on TV so find I’m less nervous when I’m at games and for me nothing beats being at the grounds!

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05

As usual off to Franklins and I’d happily take a very good performance with a win but 1 or 2 bonus points would be ok too. The main problem for Tigers is how inconsistent we’ve been, mainly due to hardly ever having the same team out BUT at least the backs have now played 2 games together (if we inc...

Re: Champions' Cup Quarter finals 2024

Well played Saints. Some great attacking play and have smashed a weakened Bulls’ side but I believe they’d have beaten Bulls anyway.

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

When have we seen anything near a full strength squad turn out this season! Yes, all teams get injuries etc but when I’m not watching Tigers home and away I watch the other Premiership teams and they manage to get settled squads out. Borthwick had a season of awful performances before turning things...

Congratulations to Quins. Brilliant result and I’m expecting Saints to join them in the Semis later on tonight.

Re: Championship Clubs Promotion

Simple question. Do Ealing Trailfinders honestly want promotion? Compare their attendances to teams like Bedford, Coventry etc and it seems they don’t have a decent fan base: yes they have loyal fans but look at their website, it just doesn’t look like a club that is ready for promotion though if th...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

Marcus Smith reminds me of George Ford when Fordy broke into the Tigers’ team: great vision in attack and a very decent kicking game. Smith of Saints a very promising player too. Both can continue to learn from George then England will be able to move forward in a very positive way. I always enjoy b...

Re: Black Lions fixture

Cockerill was a top bloke. He once turned up to coach about 150 school children when 3-4 other England players suddenly didn’t turn up. “ No problem,” he said, then told a few of us what he needed setting out equipment wise and for a whole afternoon had the children enthralled by his coaching. After...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

Really enjoyed the way we tried to play last night. Now as others have said, hopefully we will put in the best performances of the season v Saints, Bristol, Sale and Exeter. Saints were very good today but they did give quite a few penalties away: they have a very strong defence and their attack can...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

Great effort by the whole team: well played Leinster and we just had a couple of things that didn’t go our way. Personally I felt that tonight we competed hard and though the attack still wasn’t clinical enough there were signs we can play a more balanced game. Another try through their line out mis...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

Have some supporters, not RunTigerRun, forgotten the first season under Borthwick: truly awful and the season up to Christmas when Borthwick left we had some atrocious performances at home and I remember being at Sarries thinking what the hell is going on when by half time we were getting thrashed a...
