Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm
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. ...

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...

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
Even taking away the way we player McKeller management selection is worrying, I just don’t think he gets how important impact is off the bench. This was criticism levelled at Cockers, O'connor and Murphy. I don't remember it being too much of an issue under Borthwick, but maybe that's because we wo...

12 months ago, Freddie Steward was the best full-back in the world. He was so good in fact, that teams changed how they played to nullify his threat. The game evolved and now Freddie does too. He may not have the pace, Scott Hamilton never did, but his stride makes up for that, and actually, if team...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
All discussions tigers will always eventually end up about Loffreda It is a fair comparison, no? I appreciate it was 16 years ago at this point, but a coach coming in, affected by World Cup year. Purely based on league results - 1999/00 - Dean Richards - Finished 1st - Champions 2003/04 - Dean Rich...

Fairly sure Loffreda wasn’t sacked but returned home of his volition due to family issues. Happy to be corrected That was Meyer, which is what saw Cockers take over initially. Loffreda arrived at Welford Road three months into the season after he led Argentina to the World Cup semi-finals in 2007. ...

Where ever we finish this season I would be amazed if McKellar was sacked before being given time to show what he can do. Success is not an overnight thing, where there is overnight success is usually when the previous incumbent was actually better than thought and impatient Directors lacked the pa...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45
On the number 8 thing, Wiese didn't really help today either. If anything we need to stop relying on players like Wiese to pull something crazy out his butt, 9 other teams in this league don't have a Wiese. Need to actually get a system that works with multiple players for once really something hon...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45
Tigers reverting to the post-Cockers, pre-Borthwick era. Clueless in attack. Close quarters defense good but in the loose, poor. Aimless kicking with little or no kick chase?! The attack coach needs to be sorted, it's all well and good the club getting behind Matt Smith, but anyone with half a rugby...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work
If we've let Atkinson go to be able to extend Brown until the end of the season, that's incredibly short sighted.
Leaves us with 2 senior fly halves. Cue one getting injured.

There is far less so called ''Racism'' in Britain than in any other European Country. Knee jerk reactions always follow incidents like this.

It could be as simple as Dickens had a one-year deal, but it's unlikely to be extended?

Re: Eddie Jones resigns as Australia coach
Beggars belief that Tigers have repeated the same gamble as they did signing Borthwick. If Mckellar does go Tigers need to sign someone whose tenure is not based upon foundations of sand and the success of the club goes down the toilet when it gives way again. So we shouldn't hire exciting, upcomin...
