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.

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

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...

Re: Doom and Gloom

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

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

Shillcock is a pretty good player, but he isn't good enough to be a starter in a side looking to challenge for the biggest honours, the 22 shirt is his best position. Completely agree. And while Brown has been fantastic for us and you can’t question his commitment, he’s not a regular starting 15 ei...

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05

I don't think O H-C is uninterested (he's certainly not disinterested) yet something seems to have happened. Handre has not hit his straps, the back line seems to lack understanding and communication. Perhaps this is all down to a lack of an experienced and competent attack coach, perhaps the lack o...

I’ve never really understood the Tiger’s DNA talk, or when you hear about it in the media it’s massively misunderstood. The best ever Tigers team 01/02 yes had an amazing forward pack, strong set piece etc. But we played an all round 15 man game with the likes of Healey, Howard, Lloyd, Murphy in th...
