Leicester Tigers

One step at a time. Not bothered about which European competition we are in as we need to finish this season well. Secondly fitness is an issue, then whoever is fitness coach has to be brave enough to see help: I would as I’d at to be the best at the job for the sake of the team! At Saints last week...

Cockerill always said after any defeat,” Blame me not the players as I chose the team and made the changes.” Did DMK falsely think the game was won! George Martin looked upset o come off and Cole and Cronin could have gone a lot deeper. JVP looked very tired but he has had such a long lay off. Again...

Agree with RaginBull. So now let’s put it right v Exeter and Sale starting by trusting some of the youngsters like Carnduff, Vanes, FFT etc. into the squad or be really brave and put Cole, Montoya and Wiese on the bench especially if Heyes is fit! As for fitness: it’s an odd one as vLeinster and New...

Was at the game and you cannot blame Whitely: a) Pollard should have done a Ford, Floody or Burns and call for a few more phases to try to get a penalty or at least take the clock down. b) not Whiteley’s fault we didn’t kill the game when 19-0 up! c) Brown’s two cards very unfortunate: first one cam...

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...

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 ...

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!

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...

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

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...
