Re: Chris Ashton

Whatever you think of Ashton, its hard to deny he is box office.

What chance that his final try defeats Saracens in the final? :smt023

Re: Tigers v Exeter (H) - Sunday 16th April 2023 - KO 3-00pm

Agree - Dicko improved considerably.
Also impressed he doesn't dither too much, makes a decision and moves on. Of course occasionally after 16 vari-speed replays he is sometimes shown to be wrong, but I think that's a price worth paying to keep the game flowing

Re: Tigers v Leinster (A) - Champion Cup - Qtr Final - 07th April 2023 - KO 8:00pm

I think semis had to be at neutral 25K min stadia If we lose Leinster are at the "neutral" Aviva stadium (the same one they are hosting us in for their home game...) Leinster official home ground is the RDS. The venue has to be away from their home ground, so if we were the home team in t...

Re: 6 Nations 2023

That defeat to Wasps still annoys me. 2 tries from line outs that didn’t go 5m. +1, and they used to accuse Tigers of cheating, oh, the hypocrisy! :smt017 Yes - but hadn't we played the Prem Final the week before, whilst the Pests had a rest? I recall we looked tired, Especially the otherwise brill...

Re: Board plan additional investment in Tigers

A bit left field, but can we buy shares in Tigers? I doubt my few quid would make much difference, but if a few could do it, it may help a little?

Re: Tigers post Borthwick - next Head Coach?

I can see it now. Tigers coaching staff has just been eviscerated, thanks to the RFUs ineptitude. This season is a write off. Next season will be a huge challenge, having to embed a pretty much entirely new coaching team. If the RFU pushed to bring the Prem down to 10 teams I think we should be ver...

Given what George did for us, Id employ Mike, his mum and Auntie Aggie if that was what was needed. :smt005

Re: Ten team premiership

I am a big advocate of 2 ten team leagues with promotion and relegation, though I understand it would take a considerable amount of organisation and finance. The bigger issue for me is the clubs outside those regularly mentioned. Take Caldy for instance a fine old fashioned rugby club who play on t...

Re: Premiership relaunch

Its hard to argue that the current structure is working. The most successful club caught not playing by the rules, two gone and two more rumoured to be in trouble. However, I hope they look at fiscal security, protecting player welfare, cutting back on internationals and make the second tier decent....
