Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
Them bringing in Smith at loosehead is a clear sign that the scrum is not good enough at the moment. I’ve been really disappointed with Whitcombe’s development - I thought he would have improve a lot more. He’s barely been used this season. Thrown on against Newcastle with the scrum down a player o...

If we are worried about giving away a pen for sealing off when running down the clock we should be practicing that scenario more . As well as going to ground, the other option is of course to try to bump the defender, then stand up in the tackle to set up a rolling maul, gain some ground, wind the ...

I was there, the answers to questions were honest. Mr McKellar did indeed imply that Kelly was to be with us next season a d that there would be promotions from Senior Academy to Men's squad and possibly another signing. He spoke about the difficult season and his belief in the system he wants to p...

Re: Doom and Gloom
If you believe half the twaddle on this forum, you'd think that Tigers are the only club to suffer from: - international call ups - injuries to key players - dodgy referees - media bias - obsession with kicking away possession - churn of coaching team - star players underperforming If so, perhaps a...

We have 4 good wingers in OHC, Watson, Bassett and Simmons who just need to be given the ball occasionally which hopefully our new backs coach will sort out.

Tigers86 I am encouraged by your comments, for some reason my tv did not record that match, I am still.hoping to pick it up.on a repeat showing. I have seen previous Waratahs matches and have not been excited by what I saw from Perese, he always looked ok but nothing special and did not play for 80...

Re: Doom and Gloom
Agree about the turmoil but it is hardly the clubs fault if England take all of their coaches. Regarding churn quite a few sides have made wholesale changes which often happens when a new head coach is appointed even Exeter and Saracens have made many changes and they have a settled coaching staff. ...

Doom and Gloom
Reading this message board recently there seems to be an air of despondency around the club who it seems can do no right. A number of players released should have been kept, the new signings aren’t good enough, the head coach is out of his depth, the clubs communication is poor and the season ticket...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
OHC is a quality player but his confidence is shot. At Irish he got plenty of ball and didn’t spend most of his time chasing kicks and clearing rucks. He needs an arm round his shoulder and some reassurance that we will play to his strengths once , if ever, we get a decent attack coach. He needs to ...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
I think if the club have any more signings ready they really could do with rolling them out soon. Most especially an attack coach announcement for next year... The club needs to get ahead of some of the negativity and give the fans a shot in the arm and a boost. Agree with this as we need to give t...

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05
During the Borthwick period we built up a decent and I was looking forward to seeing the potential of that redevelop over the next few years. Much of that squad has moved on, Potter, Porter, Dolly and many more. The recruitment/replacements have not matched that evel of expectation, Cracknall, Hath...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
I do wonder long term if we look to bring Cam Jordan back. Maybe a long term replacement for Wells or perhaps if Henderson moved up north. Last 2 games against Gloucester thought he did really well against us. Showed some good physicality. Henderson just signed a new contract. Don’t think we need a...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
I always think on the big players you want them settled down. So on Pollard (presuming his contract finishes 2025) as soon as the season finishes I'd have two offers for him. 1) A contract extension for a further two seasons (to end in 2027) on good terms. 2) A transfer to a SA franchise. Basically...

Top 4 was gone anyway, even if we win out we likely wouldn't have made it. Time to put this season out to pasture (and hopefully the coaching staff) Pathetic comments. Top 4 wasn’t gone as a win and we are second. McKellar only been here less than a season with World Cup players missing. Football m...
