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...

Have to agree. When he was at Irish he looked dangerous whenever he got the ball although our very poor back play can’t help him.

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

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...

So you’re saying that our wage bill is £1.5M more for next season for 10 fewer players . If this is the case it’s no wonder we are struggling to make a profit.

Find that very strange as Andrea stated that we would spend up to the cap. We must have knocked at least £1M off the wage bill with those departures and even if the 3 new signings + contract renewals amount to the same the cap has gone up by £1.5M so either Andea has mislead us or their are more sig...

Having released 10-12 players(including short term signings) would have thought that we have more players incoming. Hoping for a prop who can play both sides, a centre and a big nasty no 8.

We won't be sacking McKellar. You also don't let McKellar sign players for next season, then sack him at the end of this season, that is beyond absurd. For all the noise about McKellar, from the Quins game at home onwards, we have played 10 games in the league and have won 7. A 70% win percentage h...
