Is this the rumour from end of last year when Leinster were linked with Damien McKenzie and Pollard?

Re: England squad for summer tour 2024 to New Zealand

Charlie Atkinson is a bit of a shock! Has he even played much this year? Was Borthwick responsible for his signing at Tigers? With Ford and F Smith involved in the playoffs he probably is next in line if they wanted 2 fly halfs for training I suppose there isn't much depth at 10 in England these da...

Re: Premiership Semi finals

Should be two interesting semis and, whoever goes through, an intriguing final. Two teams who prioritise forward power and pragmatism, but can still play good rugby in the backs when opportunity arises, versus two teams that love to play fancy backs stuff, but have toughened up their packs and set p...

Re: Champions' Cup Final

Oh well didn’t do them any good in the end True...but like many have said, it was an absorbing game despite having few tries with an extra quarter of game time. It went very quickly, or at least it appeared to. I would still like a little button that turned off the commentary altogether. Just get l...

And are very easy to make claims about, if someone wants to.

There's plenty for the players to be upset about, having just finished 8th in the league. That doesn't mean they blame it on McKellar or don't want him there.

Re: Dan Mckellar

Even when we won the premiership final under Borthwick we couldn’t have lived with either team yesterday. Like that’s not really marker we are aiming for It's 20 years since we've been at that level, in a different era. Until there's a huge shift in rugby economics, we won't be back there again. Co...

Re: Dan Mckellar

Yes, I think our core of players is very strong - if we don’t achieve to our potential I fear this group could split up pretty quickly. Does anyone think that our current squad could have lived with either side in the Champions Cup final yesterday? The physicality, the pace, the stamina, the handli...

Yes, I think our core of players is very strong - if we don’t achieve to our potential I fear this group could split up pretty quickly. When has that ever happened, at any club, in the same context and for that reason? Look at the current Premiership table - no player at a top 8 club is going to mo...

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

I’m not aware that any of the smartarse examples were playing in THE CHAMPIONSHIP. To clarify 30 something journeyman players from the championship I think the smartarse examples were in response to the first reply to your post, not to you. I agree the likes of Shingler would not be particularly be...

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

I am all in favour of looking to bring in young players from championship clubs, who could develop into premiership players. Bringing 30 somethings in from the championship achieves nothing imo For me suggesting bringing 30 somethings in is a sign of supporter desperation as the club has to date on...

Re: Not a new kit Launch.... Tigers Together membership

Season ticket holders aren't being specifically being targeted, they're just sending it out to their whole database.

And the "personal" messages from players... clearly not in any way personal.

Re: jasper's ban

I guess it's the intentional and unnecessary nature of it, and head to floor with force.

Hard to defend.
