Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00

Since Aled went to England we have become a weak Team in the last 20. Those will have a memory will recall how we were once a team who, if they were close in the last 20 we could expect to win, Cockers didn't feel we needed a fitness coach and we became average... Deja vu? Our S&C coach has a M...

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

Silly me no I do not :smt003 I texted my family and said if he is selected again im giving up my season ticket. Wasn’t Whiteley decent in earlier games ? Seems like he’s copping the flack for a collective effort ? He's been average to date. His commitment in defence is his main plus point. The choi...

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

A lot of forwards imo are in their last contact now, too many players who don’t bring impact or have lost their old impact. Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if there's a cull at the end of next season. Particularly around the backrow as we look to refine what we need with the next generation coming thr...

I actually really like the look of young Ollie Allan and think he can make an impact next season. (Edit: IF given the chance) I think Simmonds was a brilliant scrum half prior to injury and that put pay to him playing 9 again. For me he is a far better 9 than winger and he should be reinstated he i...

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00

I was sat in the Mattioli Woods Stand and watching us spend most of the first half in their 22, I began to pity our players. So much ball, so much territory, so many phases, but quite frankly they looked like they could've played all day and still wouldn't figure out how to deconstruct a defence. T...

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00

Mckellar did say post match that he would be having words with Whiteley as it was the players decision, That sums it up then. Happens a lot, we gift possession back to a dangerous side in the final stages. Not good enough decision making at this level. And Edwards has just been let go! Whether it s...

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00

The biggest gripe with the Mike Brown take is that I see Jasper get hit like that 10 times a game. But no punishment is given because he’s a hard git. The end result shouldn’t be a determining play. It needs to be reffed equally Van Rensenburg milked that penalty to perfection and acted like he had...

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00

Final time I'll mention it, but just saw the second yellow again on Twitter - not a single Bristol player appeals. None of them even flinch, they just carry on with the game. It's a bonkers decision. I don't think it's even a penalty. They have to review it, van Rensburg was leaving the field for a...

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00

The replacements today just added nothing for me. You can blame Whiteley all you want but it was obviously the instructions he’d got. So don’t blame the player. I think he probably slices the kick. If it goes deep into the Bristol 22 with Steward in pursuit then it's an aerial battle and Bristol ca...

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00

How to throw a game away. We were in control for well over an hour of that. Mike Brown with two unnecessary yellow cards and then what did Whiteley honestly think he was doing with that final kick. Probably lucky Dan McKellar wasn't miked up for the game as there's no way he wasn't fuming. We had Br...

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00

Kelly has been playing more like a 10 and Polly more like a 12 so far Pollard has taken a couple of big hits, wonder if he's feeling them. Kelly played well last weekend and even better so far. Showing both the creative and bosh styles of 12 in one. The attack looks slightly off, like everyone's in...

Potentially some sort of charity kit.

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00

Strong XV bar Brown on the wing, he's going to need all his experience for this one. The bench looks weaker than I'd have liked. No impact from the front row subs, Wells and Cracknell are in squad filler form (I'd have preferred Hatherall and Carnduff). No Benny means we're hoping JvP plays the full...
