Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Are you going to tell him that to his face?! 🤣
How did I know that reply was coming? Will pop up the "Staff" tomorrow lunch time.

Re: Tigers v Gloucester - Premiership Cup Final - Friday 15th March 2024 - KO:7-45pm

Evening all.. well.. I’m speechless! I honestly can’t believe what I have just watched.. unbelievable.. We deserved to win that, no doubt about it. I’ve never seen 2 penalties get yellow cards like that without even a warning.. then the maul gets brought down 2m out at the other end and it is just ...

The one to count is the prem match.
I dont know how you can say that, we are in a Final and had a 50/50 chance to win a trophy. Premier lose a match and we could end up with nothing. :smt017

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Does anyone know if the boy playing tomorrow including Tommy are available next Friday, with just the 6 day turn around. As realistically if no will the forwards be much different next week with just the addition of Montoya and weise. My feeling about Tommie today was that he had a quieter game tha...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

the worst thing about this for me is it sends a terrible message to the players about Steve as a coach. You can be one of the teams best players consistently for a number of years including in the current 6 nations and just because Steve wants to signal a change of intent you get made a scapegoat i...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

Certainly think that an opportunity has been missed to bridge the gap with some news about either new signings or player retention, though there must be reasons for this. As for the PRC final I wonder if it had to be planned for a break in the championship season too as their clubs were included Sc...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

I think this is an issue in that England do not have any matches that would be classed as 'friendlies'. We are expected to go out and win and so, right or wrong, developing fully in the 6 nations and finishing last is what costs people their job even if there is a bigger plan. Agreed, its a Catch 2...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - Crocodile McKeller: Men at Work

It seems like we have been relatively quiet compared to others during this break - missed opportunity to drum up excitement and engagement? We have (slightly more so than other clubs) liked to "batch" up our signings into popcorn days rather than the odd announcement here and there. That ...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Its all well having a good attack, but without a defence results would be worse. The defence is the foundation of the team and attack to follow. England finished 3rd at the World Cup and since then personnel have retired, moved abroad and injuries picked up. For example, Mitchell and Smith, both ha...

Re: Transfers & Rumours Non-Tigers 2022

Problem with Country of birth only as I see it, a player born in an obscure non rugby playing country comes here to live and work legally etc, and develpos into a great player, should he be denied the opportunity to play for a Nation, as his country of birth does not play the game? There really has ...

Re: New Supporters Forum?

Any ideas as to whom the club selected to be on this Forum? I was wondering the same thing, appears to have gone very silent on this. You would’ve expected some of the “new offerings” that Andrea has been emailing about might’ve been discussed with the new forum as it’s supposed to represent a cros...

Re: International Eligibility

A player could technically be entitled to represent 4 nations if the Grandparents rule continues. Technically based on it you can represent 7 countries based on just grandparents.
