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

As others have alluded to, the club's DNA has altered over the years. I was at the JP Cup final in 1978 and can still remember the attritional Glaws forwards deciding the match. That pack contained such softies as Burton and Fidler. Tigers won the next three finals with their stellar backline that ...

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

What makes it worse in watching an easy on the eye Saints team, their coach is a Tiger. The obsession with Tigers DNA is not helpful or true, the Tigers I started watching won games by skill & speed, assisted by a quality back row, our front 5 were anonymous. Rowntree, Cockerell, Garforth, a ch...

Probably used to pay fines for salary cap breaches

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

Had a chuckle at the ‘severe wire brushing’ but have to agree - might it be, to do a misquote - ‘tigers led by donkeys’? I thought that was a standard expression? Removing rust and corrosion? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I just pictured the coaches being given the brushing as a punishment - I just feel so many of today’s ...

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

Well.....That's all the hopeful "We're gonna make the top four." Bovine Excrement put to bed. Tigers just not up to snuff under this chap and have not been for some time. Biggest miss for me is Aled. The physical and mental sharpness just isn't there. Now waiting impatiently for a new star...

Forwards a match. Especially if we get Chessum, Martin and Reffell on the pitch as others have said.

Backs??? I think they've got us beat.

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022

My nipper just sent me the full strength Leinster side. Salary cap? Level playing field? It's a sick joke! Well there isn't one in the URC. Leinster's salary spend is allegedly around the 10m Euros mark. More in line with the French clubs. Well I think that was his point. I suggested he quit drinki...
