Quins have let go of Matson, reading the statement he's basically on gardening leave from the men's side of things till the end of the season and is just focusing on the women's development for the remainder of the season... https://twitter.com/Harlequins/status/1773032239887941785?t=YgXGZvmgLIoez8...

https://www.rugbypass.com/news/diamond-demands-law-change-while-accusing-tigers-of-illegal-activity/ I see Mr Diamond is trying to suggest things to the referee already... If you can't coach a team to defend the rolling maul, why not just get the ref to ping them on it... At least we know what's wo...

I hope it is a shoulder injury, I was concerned it might be linked to the leg injury he had whilst still at Brooksby. I doubt that Lewis was coming the big I am at Lions but he had been playing as captain for the Under 20's and maybe leadership was being misinterpreted. Personally I am not happy wi...

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19-45

After this it's Leinster and Saints and we won't beat either of them with the hyper-pragmatism we've seen recently. Leinster we won't beat irrelevant of how we play. Being pragmatic against Saints is a good tactic. Playing open end to end rugby against the best attack in the Prem is pretty dim when...

I know it didn't go down too well on here when i suggested it last time, but i do stand by thinking that we need to look at upgrading Harry Wells. I appreciate he is a good club man, but the last 2 games against Gloucester he was completely ineffective. Tbh i'd say the same about the Ealing game as...

Yes,some kind of switch was definitely flicked. We were night and day in the last 2 games If you start from scratch again you need to pick your priorities. England picked defence and attacking ruck speed early doors, which makes sense as the ruck coach was only available for a short period. The att...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45

We have to stop this dreadful box kicking from everywhere on the pitch, yes kick in your own 22 but get it into touch. Most sides in rugby will kick from their own half unless they've got first phase or turnover ball. Modern defences tend to be to good and goal kickers to accurate to risk playing o...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

Just a thought and I’m not looking for an argument here but has Englands attack moved on maybe because Farrell isn’t there? Maybe but we was just as awful in the first 3 games. It really felt like the rumours of players and coaches telling him to practice attack moves before the Ireland game are tr...

Agreed. Being in this limbo state where we both don't have an attack coach and can't recruit an attack coach is definitely hurting us.

The team we had out on Friday night should have been enough to see off Gloucester but it didn't. :smt003 Once Pollard dropped out last minute I had concerns. Glaws are a better team then they've been given credit for. Skivington was invited to coach the England A team for a reason. He got it becaus...

That should be enough to see off Falcons. Pace outside, experience in each area, carrying threats, breakdown threats.

Re: Tigers v Newcastle (A) - Premiership - Friday 29th March 2024 - KO: 19:45

I'd be inclined to rest Kata this week if it's actually an injury. If it was only cramp then he starts. Otherwise Cole and Chessum take their rest weeks this week to get them out the way. Reffell looked out on his feet last night. I'd give him a week off, he took some big contacts in the last two ro...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

LE18, I am quite excited by the signing of Beet, I do like to see young players come through and Tigers have had a few successful project players in the past. Smith is a good solid prop, played well against us for Ospreys but I don't expect to see him making many runs ball in hand. Our new centre p...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)

Many excited by our new signings. We have signed a South African Under20's player to add to our home produced English and Welsh Under 20's who are not getting much game time. We have gone to a poor Ospreys team for a prop not selected for the Wooden Spoon winning Welsh side and we have gone to the ...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45

For as long as I can remember the Glos at MWWR fixture was a nailed on 4 if not 5 points. The last 2 weeks is a real wake up call. That being said I am pretty sure a big chunk of the squad is perhaps a little under the weather with illness as I’ve never seen fatigue like that.. can’t simply be post...
