Leicester Tigers

Deserved red. Absolutely pathetic thuggery on the pitch. Yes, but he went in to defend his team mate. Got MoM as well. *from the important people. Don’t get this initial comment. Wasn’t thuggery he picks him up and drops him and lands on his head amongst other parts of his body. Yellow card at wors...

Considering that some had Exeter had warm favourites before the game, that was a very good result.

With a productive and focussed pre-season, fewer handling errors and a couple of positions bolstered, I think we can be optimistic that next season will be better than this one.

Oh no please not a red for jasper

Has Christian Day done commentary before? He's pretty good. Knows what he's talking about and doesn't make it about him.

Feels like we're either going to win this comfortably, or else cough up a couple of interception tries in the second half and lose it in the last minute.

Let's hope we can make the second yellow count at the start of the second half.

Jenkyns is not getting there but ‘we don’t judge the number’ cannot believe how stupid it is!

Is that a law, a guideline, or just something referees have invented to make their job easier?

The call is often made too late and then they don't stick to the 5 seconds. The problem for the refs is now the whole thing has become so orchestrated and has been in practice for such a long time,. The idea of a new law would change the dynamic. Once presented there will be no point in the scrum h...

I think that is a good point but one I see slightly differently. In an ideal world you have excellent first choice players with solid back up an developing third choices. Our success in developing and attracting international talent has meant that we are too often left with the solid players are ou...

I, for one, just want this fragmented season to end so we can get on to the next. We can then judge McKellar based on his coaching appointments (debate can rage whether Richardson and Dickens were his or not - what's not open to debate is that the new attack and S&C coach will be his appointmen...

I'm quite disappointed with the way this season has panned out, but if anyone was expecting a smooth upward trajectory from the title-winning season, then they're expecting a bit too much - or at least, it's unfair to pin it on McKellar. In a sense a lot of things fell nicely for 2021-22. Burns, Pot...

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 buck stops with him as Head Coach. But he is not and cannot be responsible for the players not being fit enough. ...

It really isn't.

It's surely in line with pre-match expectations. It's far from the most disappointing result (Bristol) and performance (take your pick) of the season.

So probably the kind of result we might have expected. There's a lot for next season's coaching team to chew on there though. I hope the next S&C guy is already crunching the fitness numbers (if he can possibly know what the structure of the season will be). A brilliant new attack coach is not g...

The likes of Clive (Eddie Jones is another prime example) are regularly guilty of trying to make things more complicated than they need to be, because they're trying far too hard to look clever. Steward just needs to play a bit better. That's all. The same could be said of Tigers as a whole at the ...
