Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
I am all in favour of looking to bring in young players from championship clubs, who could develop into premiership players. Bringing 30 somethings in from the championship achieves nothing imo For me suggesting bringing 30 somethings in is a sign of supporter desperation as the club has to date on...

Re: Not a new kit Launch.... Tigers Together membership
People do seem to be missing my point, I have expressed concerns about the future. I applaud the club for seeking new revenue streams. I take issue with those that say this is a plan to bring payments from fans who are unable to attend matches. In the main it is a plan to obtain yet more money from...

Re: Not a new kit Launch.... Tigers Together membership
In terms of fairness you are right, but in practice the big match brings out the support. It could be a wife joining her husband for the day out of a weekend away, or a child accompanying a parent, a good time at the occasion can bring a new season ticket holder. Big matches have a way.of producing...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
We cant wait another year!! We need a top No 8 now. The way we played against Newcastle in the Prem Cup was the truest form of what McKellar wants or how he wants us to play. On Saturday against Exeter, it was the closest we got to emulating that, and how we played in both of those games meant we w...

Given how many injuries we have picked up at lock and how attritional a position it is anyway, I am reluctant to go down the Chessum at 6 option, even though he's perfectly capable of playing there, as is Hanro at 8. We have 4 senior locks in Chessum, Martin, Henderson & Wells, plus the youngst...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
I’ve suggested but others not keen. He’s still young and not sure he’s ever been given a proper go at Sarries with the rather using Goode when Farrell was unavailable, there may of course be very good reasons for this I’d take a punt on him! For what we are looking for, I think he ticks a lot of bo...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
Moroni was not always a starter in his 35 appearances over his two years with us. A good player but in two years with Falcons has only appeared 20 times to me that suggests that at 33 his skills are fading and I don't think he would be an asset as a player for us. We need some one quicker and young...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
A lot of the recruitment for this season was done and signed off when Steve was at the club. Certainly OHC, Shillcock, FTT and Bassett were all signings that he signed off on. Kata and Rogerson came when McKellar was in situ, so there probably wasn't that much wriggle room to get anyone I do think w...

I would like to see a New attack coach New head of performance New Academy head coach Lock/back row Scrum half - honestly just someone to push Youngs as 2nd choice, I like Allan and kinda want him to have a season at Nottingham or champ and then bring him in to challenge Whiteley Fly half Centre Th...

Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm
And you are welcome to your IMHO - although I’m not sure why that entitles you to call me glib, but there you go. They are not calling you glib, they are calling your generalisation glib, and they have a point. McKellar will be responsible for the results if they are ultimately not good enough, the...

To be fair, you could have said that about Exeter's (as an example) from last to this and they have had a barnstorming year because they have had continuity of coaching, play the same way throughout their setup etc etc. I hope you're right! Next season we won't lose 11 internationals for the first ...

Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm
McKeller cannot win…..lose and he gets stick…..send a weakened / experimental team and lose there will be huge disappointment with the fans. Sale are in contention for a top 4 so for the integrity of the competition, Tigers should put out the strongest available side to try to win it……not experimen...
