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

Sadly Martin, like Earle are the two England players Borthwick dreads having out. Martin was limping a lot after 60 minutes v Ireland, was a doubt v France and played on after taking a couple of heavy knocks but had loads of strapping. It’s a shame for us that in a shortened season we will be missi...

More turmoil in Wales

The latest proposal for 2nd tier Welsh clubs has caused splits and acrimony being seen as worthless and leading to the financial collapse of some old clubs. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/football/pontypridd-rfc-label-wru-s-new-league-as-anything-but-elite-with-no-commercial-rationale/ar-BB1kzauh?o...

Probably Discovery+ - haven't tried that channel yet so can't comment on its performance.

Re: Saracens - Harlequins TMO

I'm still a bit split on this. On the one hand, it is interference by someone who isn't an official; on the other, it's an extra pair of expert eyes keeping players safe. After all, it is still the officials who make the decision.

Re: Saracens - Harlequins TMO

A consideration is that the TMO has only the TV feed whereas the commentary team have a view of the whole pitch and the TV feed - (from half-way up the Crumbie at Tigers).

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

With less games we need to invest in quality not quantity. I agree, take the strength in depth that Sarries have as an example and if we do truly spend upto the cap then we should be signing quality not quantity. Watson is very bad business and Rogerson, Cracknell, Dolly and Hatherall best days are...

Re: Saracens - Harlequins TMO

It isn't just the audio feed though, is it? Instant replays with slow motion and magnification also bring incidents to light that would have been missed. And, in France, there is the constant inability of the TV director to find any incriminating evidence against the home side. It depends whether yo...

I really hope Friday night was a blip, a one-off because it reminded me of the late-Cockerill, and Murphy eras.

I don't think Weise can be criticised for his performance tonight. Gloucester clearly targeted him and closed him down early.

We need someone who can kick when Pollard is absent; I don't care about the number on his back. Hold practice and auditions. Maybe we'll find a John Eales.

We're now down to 7th. Bristol overtake us on points difference. Plus there are the other matches to be played this weekend. :smt009
