Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

With France being prolific kickers of the ball then surely there's an argument for Steward over Daly on the wing, if he's not being brought in as the Fullback I can see Freddie on the left wing v Penaud who is excellent in the air I think that is also a great arguement to have Steward back in his &...

I still think Bill W was right about the source of information about Tigers signings. It definitely still is th taxi driver's mother :smt003 .

One for those of us who remember Bill and his admonition to KEEP THE FAITH.

Regrettably Watson is Manu mark 2. Great when available but not available enough. I suspect that like Manu he doesn't come cheap either. In these days of financial difficulties can we really afford to keep him?

Re: We need to talk about Handré

Even the best have their off days. It wasn't just Handre. Another world class player was inconsistent in one of his main jobs yesterday but there is no thread criticising him. Namely our captain Julian Montoya. His throwing in was wayward. I say this not to criticise him but to point out that, as I ...

Re: Tigers v La Rochelle (A) - Champions Cup - Sunday 14th January 2024 - KO - 3-15pm

Does the RFU buy the players, pay their wages and fill the club grounds?. Do they arrange the sponsors on behalf of all the clubs? If the clubs buy, purchase and insure the players, arrange for sponsors and fill the grounds home and away then why are we suggesting the RFU cannot allow clubs a highe...

Re: Tigers v Leinster (H) - Champions Cup - Saturday 20th January 2024 - KO: 3-15pm

I'm not Ian so sorry to but in, but I don't think Leinster will go weakened at all. They've got a home tie already yes, but with 14 points they're on for being seeded number 4 at the moment and in big danger of being up against La Rochelle in the last 16. They'll want a bonus point win to finish as...

Re: The RFU

Interesting reading. There's even a quote from Tigers former CEO Simon Cohen. Personally I have much sympathy with what the Championship Clubs are saying about a closed shop Premiership. Let's have promotion and relegation. In particular I'm against the notion of the likes of Wasps or London Irish b...

So there is some good news. All we need now is for Dallaglio to follow suit and it'll be a good day :smt003 Problem is he needs the money.

Re: Harry Simmons

I think you're getting a bit too Schrodinger for a rugby forum. If you follow your logic then you could say the same about any rugby player when they aren't actually playing. For example, George Martin was a very good rugby player last Saturday, and may well prove to be one again this Saturday. Unt...

You've all missed the obvious reason we played so poorly. We didn't run out to Smoke on the Water.

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

I noticed that Tigers posted a picture on socials this afternoon just before going to a work meeting. Come out of the meeting, and it's been deleted. There was one guy in the photos I couldn't recognise, wonder if anyone else saw? (I didn't properly notice who and was a rush, just he had ginger hai...
