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

When we were so poor in the final quarter, I really struggle to be sympathetic to "reverse close losses" argument as well. Particularly when selection has been poor IMO. If we're struggling later on then load the bench with a bit more experience and trust some younger players to start. Wh...

Would like to see Ben Donaldson in a Tigers shirt, but highly doubt we could tempt him away from Australia

nice and inclusive of those that have an opinion differing from yours. Seems to me you’re the one who doesn’t like differing opinions. You asked for the bigger picture which I’ve given you, I’ve again given my opinion on the I’ve heard brigade, not just you, and a number of others feel the same, an...

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

Think McKellar was dealt a poor hand, and both attack and S&C seemed a significant downturn from the previous regime. Two or three close results went the other way, w e'd be in the playoffs. That's not anywhere near as bad as some think, just not brilliant. I'm more concerned about the ladies t...

Re: Jasper's ban

Question for the knowledgeable. If South Africa don’t pick him for their summer tests squad would the ban carry over to his new club, as he won’t have missed any fixtures that he was eligible for selection for My understanding is that providing there is some paperwork somewhere to suggest he "...

Look, you can all moan and slate the bloke, that's your purgative but look at the bigger picture here. im all for giving him his full term of 4 years, why because if we dont do better than eighth but its still tight, is it his fault? also we get rid, bring someone else in and guess what first year ...

Quite. I suggested Pellegrini as an example as he's possibly and example of several "desirable" qualities: 1) relatively young (so potential for long term option) 2) has demonstrated potential 3) relatively cheap Vunipola has been mentioned, but I suspect he falls down a little on number ...

Re: Premiership Semi finals 2024

Interesting to see that Saracens have returned 500 tickets from their allocation. Difficult to sell so many tickets when you only have 43 supporters :smt003 They’ve never had the biggest travelling support, and that coupled with Friday night kick off and school half term week. I don’t know how many...

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

I'd go for Ben Volavola of the available 10s who seem reasonable targets from a cap perspective. Quite. I suggested Pellegrini as an example as he's possibly and example of several "desirable" qualities: 1) relatively young (so potential for long term option) 2) has demonstrated potential...

Do the press divulge all of their sources? No, they protect them, otherwise we would never ever learn the truth about what happens behind closed doors and likewise for whistle blowers. To state that something isn't worth didly squat unless you divulge your source is demonstrably untrue and ignorant...

Possibly also worth mentioning that Mckellar has said the difference between coaching here in the premiership and in Australia was wider than he realised

Re: England squad for summer tour 2024 to New Zealand

Possibly an unfair comparison but reminds me a little of Cipriani, on his day a world beater but can also be very mediocre

They've all got major issues for me. Northampton - Well, its Saints innit. Bath - Its Bath innit. Saracens - Don't want others getting closer to our record no of wins...
