Cockers reminiscing about the good old days- I think he may be having a little tongue in cheek dig.
The Prem lacks "bite".

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
I have said this on a different thread (or earlier on this burble burble) but this habit of knocking back kicks in broken play seems to me to be a very high risk tactic. If, on kick off, the kick goes behind the front defenders, then the knock back is as likely to end up in their hands as ours. If a...

Re: Billy Vunipola arrested
Impressed with the Spanish criminal justice system, to be honest. Nicked one day, in court and fined the next. Excellent. Presumably built up after years of dealing with similar incidents with drunk Brit tourists.

Let us not forget Mrs Handre who probably had something to do with the matter.

Re: Black Lions match
I think your plan is a good one not just to give the youngsters game time but to protect seniors in what may be a bruising encounter. The Black Lions will want to prove themselves; we still want to win against Sale and Exeter and unnecessary injuries ain't the way to do it.

Re: Doom and Gloom
If you believe half the twaddle on this forum, you'd think that Tigers are the only club to suffer from: - international call ups - injuries to key players - dodgy referees - media bias - obsession with kicking away possession - churn of coaching team - star players underperforming If so, perhaps a...

Re: Doom and Gloom
Not bothered about Europe but happy for the clubs finances If Gloucester were to win the Challenge Cup, they would take the 8th English place in the Champions Cup....Tigers would then be in the Challenge Cup if they finish 8th! Ohhhhh and that would really be the final nail in the coffin for this s...

Re: Doom and Gloom
Perhaps a naive query, but here I go. What is Aled actually doing with the England set up when there is only planning to do? Is he visiting clubs to check on players - advise them?
My point is, is there any way he could be re-hired as a part-time consultant?

Re: Doom and Gloom
The fitness, or lack of it, is interesting. Yesterday, I was impressed by the speed of all of our players getting back to their feet and into position when defending - snuffing out Bristol attacks, and I thought at the time, how tiring that looked. The bench just did not bring the same levels of ene...

Re: Tigers social post about threats
I was like most disappointed at today's result, however if we as a club are starting down the road of attracting so called supporters with football supporter mentality then the rugby family is doomed. If this is the way the game is going I will after holding a season ticket for 37 years will walk a...

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
The tactic of "kick to compete" seems to me to have become more dangerous with players batting the ball backwards in broken field play with no real control on where the ball will end up.

What was better? Handling - fewer passes went behind/ over/ into touch. Cohesion - The defensive structure held together really well for 70 minutes What was worse/the same? We were mauling them to bits on their 5m line while they were playing 7s scoring opportunities going amiss Decision making. Yes...

Let's not forget that the first 5 matches were lost and we were missing out on 10 first team players.
