Re: Saracens - Harlequins TMO

I have said for a long time now (and several times on this forum) that there should be NO commentary in the TMO's van at all. If you argue that it should be there, why not feed it to the ref and the touch judges as well? Of course, no one would make that argument so why should one official be treate...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45

I said at the end of the Welsh game that TR looked knackered and that we should rest him and several replies said he always looks knackered - we have to rest him next week along with DC. An old adage is a kick is only as good as its chase and our chase was awful yesterday, yet we could and should ha...

Possible Black Lion's (Georgia) game

I have held the view that any sporting group of teams benefits from the ability to get promoted or relegated. Saw this report about a possible Georgia v Wales double-header. Near the end is this piece of info regarding a possible Tigers v Black Lions game next year. Would love to see that become a r...

Re: TV Deal for Season 2024/2025

No tv deal would make me want to give up my season ticket and watch Tigers live at MWWR. It would however stop me from going to several of the away matches.

Re: International Eligibility

For me, the passport idea is a total non-starter - there is not a separate passport for Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales and I am sure that the Northern Irish lads would still want to play for the united Irish team rather than become a tier 2 or 3 nation. Neither is the grandparent thing - get r...

Re: 23/24 Injury/Suspension/Absent International List

A very interesting breakdown of the loading of international players and the ones at risk of exceeding the hours to be played = compare the load of Peter O'Mahony with Chessum and Otoje.

If he is on a 4 year contract - will he qualify for England through the residency rule if he doesn't get selected for SA in the mean time?

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

Leicester Tigers boss Dan McKellar has moved to strengthen his squad for next season with the double signing of NSW Waratahs outside centre Izaia Perese and Wales loosehead Nicky Smith. Perese, 26, who was a member of Eddie Jones Wallabies World Cup squad, has now signed for Tigers and will be join...

Tommy Reffel looks absolutely shattered at the end - He has no speed left and looks as though he could do with a month's total rest

Re: Tigers v Gloucester - Premiership Cup Final - Friday 15th March 2024 - KO:7-45pm

Watched the whole game on the box so it is not as good as being there but I really could not see the reasons for the yellows. The ref did say enough penalties very quietly but did not make it clear that the next offence would be yellow as most refs would have done. I have looked long and hard about ...
