Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm

Our average losing margin away to Sale in the Prem over the last 5 years is 14.2 points. So, yesterday, was actually a better result than we usually get.

Only once in the last 5 years have we even got a losing bonus point at Sale.

Yesterday was our 2nd best result at Sale since 2018.

Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm

They are not calling you glib, they are calling your generalisation glib, and they have a point. McKellar will be responsible for the results if they are ultimately not good enough, the buck stops with him as Head Coach. But he is not and cannot be responsible for the players not being fit enough. ...

I don't know the employment laws, can you bring in a consultant from outside if a employee is on gardening leave? Cause I did wonder why they didn't but watching the Manchester united v Newcastle battle over Ashworth I don't know if they could Once on gardening leave, yes. The employee is in their ...

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

For people within their first year of employment you can just sack people for no reason and pay them two weeks' pay. They definitely were McKellar's picks. Just because they aren't Australian doesn't mean he didn't want them in his team. As a very big McKellar sceptic it is more reassuring to me th...

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

Replacing Aled is looking the equivalent of replacing Ferguson at Old Trafford... Are we sure Richardson had more than a 12 month contract? If we are paying him & Dickens off, more money flushed away, did we pay Leigh Jones off as well? Dan Jones leaving Scarlets, not the worst 10 in the world....

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

I mean I feel that FTT and Carnduff are already basically the squad depth position they will be for next season. Woodward will be 3rd choice 12 and Allen t fourth choice 9. The only one with what I call big pressure is Beets currently. I'm wondering if first choice will be either: Henderson into se...

Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm

I don't see any reason to even begin to suspect he's "lost the dressing room". The players look 100% committed, and I'm sure the dressing room will be signposted anyway. McKellar did recently say that they have got the "preparation" wrong this season. There have also been suggest...

Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm

McKeller cannot win…..lose and he gets stick…..send a weakened / experimental team and lose there will be huge disappointment with the fans. Sale are in contention for a top 4 so for the integrity of the competition, Tigers should put out the strongest available side to try to win it……not experimen...

George Ford came out of nowhere to make his Tigers debut at 16, maybe Threlfall is deemed good enough to have a breakthrough season next year and will be understudy to Pollard. Disclaimer: I know nothing about him.... Could be argued to be splitting hairs about "nowhere" but Ford had play...

Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm

I agree with many of the comments above. If this isn't an opportunity to play 2 or 3 of the youngsters, when is? I know I defended McKellar for picking Van Wyk throughout the season, but for these two matches its hard to come up with any reason to start him over Whitcombe. Same for Dolly over FTT or...

Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm

The likes of Clive (Eddie Jones is another prime example) are regularly guilty of trying to make things more complicated than they need to be, because they're trying far too hard to look clever. Steward just needs to play a bit better. That's all. The same could be said of Tigers as a whole at the ...

Re: Tigers v Sale (A) - Premiership - Friday 10th May 2024 - KO: 7:45pm

Kata on the wing is not an experiment, that is the position he p!ays for his country on a regular basis. I feel that the experiment of playing him at 12 has restricted our backs, he is a good player but he is not a distributor and in my opinion that is what is required in that position. Freddie is ...

Re: New Supporters Forum?

I've heard some things that were said at the supporters forum were asked to be kept in the room. Can anyone who was there say if it's information/club plans that will be released soon or at all? I think you're referring to the evening where McKellar and Wilkes were questioned by season ticket holde...
