Leicester Tigers

I would hope with a new attack coach we can build a style to suit the strengths of our players ie: Freddie at 15 etc and enable those players to play to their strengths. To be fair Freddie on the wing is only happening because we've got four or five wingers out injured but three fit fullbacks. Inde...

He and McKellar worked a Brumbies together, I think? If so it could be a good move!

1960's would have been 100 yards

That Kata lad was playing well, it was unfortunate. Exactly this! He gives his all every game, the tackle was, in my opinion, unfortunate, in as much the Northampton player was somewhat below upright, had he remained in an upright position Kata's tackle would have been around the ribs! Split second...

I cannot think of any club above Tigers that have gone through so much change or disruptions in the last few years. Other clubs have coaches who have been in place and had time with the players. Losing half your coaches mid season was not great. It is going to take time and a World Cup season was a...

Given the disparity in available players the result didn't surprise me. I'm happy to give McKellar time, I think the whole attack coach fiasco is a poor reflection on the club management, feels like he's been dealt a bum hand! What a massive excuse that is - do you really think he wasn’t given the ...

Very good, I well remember the LV Cup final at Worcester they were all off like scalded cats with 20 mins left!

I think Carnduff is a 6. Hanro is 6'6, and Finn is 6'4, so he is shorter than Hanro, however he does weigh the same as Hanro. A a result, I think he is perfectly suited for the back row. Plus being shorter means he is better suited for a turnover as we saw at Newcastle. I think someone else already...

No need for that sort of language round here...

I take your point but at that stage I doubt the plan included 3 different head coaches in 3 years, for whatever the reason. That fact alone means Mckellar needs patience and time He may need patience and time, but is he earning that? I’m not convinced he knows what he is doing…. What makes you say ...

Guys like Rogerson and Cracknell are critical to our success. You can't have a squad entirely made up by youngsters and superstars, it just doesn't work. Some people might call them journeymen, but I'd call them absolute grafters - imagine the physical toll of Prem rugby without the acclaim or huge...

Once seen never unseen

I'd sooner have Cracknell and Rogerson than a lot of previous players #nonamesnopackdrill
