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

SB basically had his first season as a free shot, so I think the same should be afforded to DMK. Agree with other comments, we were massively affected being a WC year and have probably done okay overall. That being said, the two results against Gloucester did make me massively question the directio...

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

We won't be sacking McKellar. You also don't let McKellar sign players for next season, then sack him at the end of this season, that is beyond absurd. For all the noise about McKellar, from the Quins game at home onwards, we have played 10 games in the league and have won 7. A 70% win percentage h...

Where ever we finish this season I would be amazed if McKellar was sacked before being given time to show what he can do. Success is not an overnight thing, where there is overnight success is usually when the previous incumbent was actually better than thought and impatient Directors lacked the pa...

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

One thing to flag is that this will be Hanro Liebenberg's 100th start for the club, so he will get his club cap & a more fancy tie. I think the last player to get the club cap for 100 starts was George Ford in 2022 & before that Harry Wells. It's not been as common a feature as it was in th...

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

Let's put it this way. There are three states for a coach to be in: 1) Going so badly a change is needed immediately. 2) Going so well that you are actively trying to extend their contract. 3) Going middling, and nether looking to change nor extend. McKeller has two years left on his initial contrac...

It's not really 12 leavers though is it Joe Powell, Ben Woolett, Mike Williams all short term signings Atkinson moving was basically helping to accommodate for Brown's new contract So that's 4 players off the list of leavers that can't really be accommodated for Makes it more like 8 players leaving...

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

If nothing else this is the right way of announcing departures rather than some of the previous nonsense, all we need now is more clarity on injuries (amongst other things) & the mushroom farm might need to close. I hope Porter is leaving to play rugby elsewhere. I would take a punt on Manz Snr...

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

The professionals apparently know what they are doing. It's pretty clear we'll be signing a tighthead prop & lock. We'll probably be fine at hooker but it wouldn't need a massive injury run to end up with a temporary signing. Backrow we could trust the academy for all our needs or make a signin...

Re: Black Lions fixture

Why oh why do they schedule it for Friday night? For those reliant on ever diminishing and unreliable public transport or who have to travel any distance after work it becomes almost impossible to attend. I know that TV schedules force us to have some games on Friday nights and every year I resign ...

Re: Black Lions fixture

I just hope it’s a more interesting match than the Portugal fixture was. It definitely will be. The Black Lions beat Llanelli Scarlets this season in Wales. It will be more like the Emerging Italy game (presuming we pick a similar strength team to that) where they fire some shots at us and give us ...

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

I'd like to keep Koroiyadi if possible, but if he's not good enough, he's not good enough. Can't keep everyone. The stick Cracknell and Rogerson get on here is so overblown it is unreal. Just to add, Chester Owen i believe suffered multiple concussions in a short space of time, which was a contribu...
