Re: London Irish vs Tigers

It's sad to say, but I'm almost becoming used to us losing. I often expect us to. I just feel so, so sad about how things are at the club. Teams don't fear us - in fact, most of them probably look forward to, knowing they'll probably get 5 points. What on earth were we thinking, putting an inexperie...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester

Well, we needed that - the first time in such a long time I can remember such a convincing performance from the Tigers, well done to everyone. We were impressive to watch. I can't wait to see how we are at full strength! I do worry in the New Year when BY is (i assume) away with England - SH had a m...

Re: Leicester vs Saracens

Just got back from Welford Road, my first Tigers game in a long time. Well, what an odd day. Despite 18,000 odd fans in attendance, the atmosphere for the first 50 mins was just quiet. The 40-50 Sarries fans in the corner made far more noise then any of us. It wasn't until Thompson scored the interc...

Re: New coaching structure?

Listening to the interview on the podcast Geordie thinks he has s good coaching team and it is more to do with learning and pre season He doesn’t suggest getting new people in bar Mike Ford However.. I think Les Cusworth summarised it well what’s the plan !! From the top down. He loves Geordie but ...

Re: Dear Murphs

I agree with a lot that has been said, but I don't understand why people keep suggesting that GM will become DOR with a "world-class coach" coming in as Head Coach. Surely the more experienced person would become DOR? I can't see any "world-class coaches" coming in and working un...

Two players who stand head and shoulders at present. :smt023 :smt023
Completely agree.

We have got to start putting names on the team sheet due to form as well, not reputation or longevity at the club.

When taking the conversion, GF waited for the whole 90 seconds before kicking, to waste time. Personally, I'm happy for us to do whatever means necessary to win. We need the points.

Re: Tigers v Newcastle - 12th April 2019

Well done lads! - Guy Thompson has to be one of the first names on the team sheet each week. - George Ford should be the permanent captain. - Can we sign the Falcons 15? - Ben White is developing into a very good SH. - Toomua had a good game. - Genge worries me (even though I love the fire, he reall...

Re: Tigers v Newcastle - 12th April 2019

We struggle to turn possession into points - play well and have the bulk of possession for 30 mins but Newcastle are within 1 point.

Penalties, drop goals, tries - keep the scoreboard ticking!

Re: Tigers v Newcastle - 12th April 2019

Like someone said previously, we need to keep doing what we were in the first 30 and not implode.

Re: Tigers v Newcastle - 12th April 2019

What a try!

A really decent effort so far - Harrison, Toomua, Ford having a great game. In fact, it's a much better effort from all.

Come on lads!

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2018/19 SQUAD/TRANSFERS/CONTRACT THREAD PART 6

JB from Eggchasers Rugby Podcast has just tweeted this: "The wheels are now officially off at Leicester Tigers. Matt Toomua asks for a release with immediate effect. Tigers have refused. I am sure he will be a real asset for the remainder of the season." I've been trying to find another so...

Re: Tigers v Newcastle - 12th March 2019

If we had got any points against Exeter, we would've given ourselves some momentum and the potential to be in control of whether we can stay up. Having lost and in the way we did, we are also having to rely on other results, not just our own. If we lose against Newcastle, I honestly fear the worse....

Re: Dear Murphs

Regardless of whether we stay up or not, like others have said, we need to get someone in who is from outside the Tigers camp. We have to plan for the long term and have a real hard look at everybody, whether player, coach or other. No player or coach is bigger than this club and if that's the attit...
