Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00

Regrettably I have seen nothing recently to suggest that under this coach we will improve. Witness the same comments by supporters after every game. I don't blame the players. The way they play is an indication of how they are being coached - not very well from what I can see.

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

Not the Head Coach’s fault…..mmmmm….. not sure I agree. Whatever the issues are, and let’s be honest, there are quite a few, eg no attack coach, poor player engagement, poor levels of fitness, no nous and guile with very predictable play, lack of discipline, to name just a few. The responsibility f...

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 m...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm

Anyone seen the Leinster team sheet? Leinster Rugby (caps in brackets) 15. Hugo Keenan (63) 14. Jordan Larmour (101) 13. Robbie Henshaw (85) 12. Jamie Osborne (40) 11. James Lowe (75) 10.

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

Players have good games and bad games. They are in and out of squads for whatever reason the coach sees fit. So the only constant is the coach. Therefore he/she is the one with the most chance of making a difference by providing a game plan and direction. I'm hoping a recognisable one will emerge so...

Re: Tigjers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45

My point is that if Diamond can improve Newcastle so quickly why can't Mckellar do the same for Tigers????? And he's not the only one. Remember our very own much maligned Cockers making a difference at Toulon and Edinburgh quickly too. Am I wrong to expect at least some signs of cohesion and improv...

That should be enough to see off Falcons. Pace outside, experience in each area, carrying threats, breakdown threats.
The team we had out on Friday night should have been enough to see off Gloucester but it didn't. :smt003

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.

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

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 ...
