Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
It's been done to death, but I think Steward's ceiling is higher at centre. He is on the slow side for an international fullback and doesn't have the playmaking skills of many modern 15s. Fullback at the top level is increasingly the domain of players with the kicking and distribution skills of a f...

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
Time to try players in roles where they might be needed next season for my money. I'm thinking: - Ilione at 7. We direly need a jackal threat when Tommy isn't playing. - Cracknell at 6. It was his best position at LI where he was well suited to back rows with multiple all-rounders rather than stand...

Marchant had been speaking to Sarries as he was pretty keen to go back to London, which was the same as Sam Spink who has now signed with Sarries. To be fair, Tom Whiteley commutes up from North London every day so it can be done if he is prepared to do so. Complete aside - do many of the current T...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm
The best team in the day won. There were refereeing errors but aren't there always?. Personally I think we need to get our best fullback playing at fullback, Kata for me is a great player but he is not a distributor and is not our best 12. Obviously I don't know who is fit and available but I think...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm
No question Tigers showed spirit and determination, and an increasing number of excellent plays. However they still fail to execute basics for 80 mins. Things like first up tackles, passes that the receiver can take without breaking stride, don't give away needless penalties.... Agree completely. F...

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm
Lots of talk of improved attack. Whilst I agree we look better going forward we still can’t covert inside the 22. We have absolutely butchered 3 or 4 opportunities that could have put us in with a chance.
Defence was shocking, attached still rubbish

Re: Leinster mind games begin? - Champions Cup (A) - Saturday 06th April 2024 - KO:8:00pm
Such as Freddie on the wing Hatherell in second row Kelly at 13 They’re all playing in positions they’ve played in before on numerous occasions. That hardly makes them round pegs in square holes. People were pushing for Shilcock at 15 what are you going to do with Steward drop him completely. Hathe...

Once Tommy went off at WR it was game over.
Few round pegs in square holes in that starting XV.

Still don't understand Kelly at 13. Simply hasn't worked.
Assuming Scott is fit would have liked to have seen
12: Keely
13: Scott
14: Kata
As something a bit different to what we've already tried multiple times this season and hasn't really worked.

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45
That result doesn't bode well for the rest of the season. Yes, we can still make top 4, but if we can't beat a fairly average Glouc team at home who did nothing more impressive than walk through a few half-hearted tackles, then Sale and Saints away are a pretty scary prospect. Let's not even talk a...

Re: Saudi Arabia in talks to buy stake in Tigers
The article says they are after naming rights of stadiums or maybe teams rather than ownership, I know the RFU don't bother much with rules anymore, but you cannot have an owner having more than one club. From the article my understanding us they can own up to 19% in all 4 clubs as long as the 19% ...
