Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
I'm not inclined to blame the head coach for everything that happens on the pitch, but I can't imagine for a second that anyone's immediate instinct is to kick away posession from the opposition half like that unless it's an attacking grubber kick or chip ahead for a runner coming through at pace. ...

Re: Billy Vunipola arrested
Ok hypothetical... IF Montpellier pull out of their deal for him IF we assume our squad as is (ie no more back row signings) IF we had cap space (at a possibly cut price deal) Would we be interested in him on a 1 year deal? In that scenario I'd take him, 100%. I doubt Montoellier will pull out thou...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
I think many people underestimate how difficult it is to keep the ball for 3 minutes in those circumstances without infringing or making an error. I'm curious, how early would people advocate "sticking it up the jumper" for when defending a slim lead? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? How early do yo...

Re: Doom and Gloom
Your absolutely right I hadn’t realised he’d been here that long I thought he’d come in in 21/22 but that was just a coaching change. But my original point was about Bothwick removing Mcginty who in my opinion did our best recruitment in years with his agent since which it fell off a cliff. So is a...

Re: Doom and Gloom
Some people are very quick to say how bad we are but for me it is fine margins and poor discipline. We have narrowly lost numerous games this season that easily could have gone either way. Win even just a few of those and we are top 4. I often read about how clueless we are and how bad our attackin...

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if there's a cull at the end of next season. Particularly around the backrow as we look to refine what we need with the next generation coming through. We have seen Carnduff already, hopefully Ilione completes the step up alongside Josh Manz and Chessum Jnr. That would ...

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
Away from our performance, what Bristol are doing is nothing short of revolutionary in the current English game. Pretty much every other DoR in the land has their team box kicking between their try line and the 10m. Informed by data, so we're told. 30 kicks in 30mins in Bath v Sarries? Bristol were...

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
A lot of forwards imo are in their last contact now, too many players who don’t bring impact or have lost their old impact. Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if there's a cull at the end of next season. Particularly around the backrow as we look to refine what we need with the next generation coming thr...

Re: Tigers social post about threats
Completely agree.
So disappointed by the result, but personal abuse or threats are not acceptable, and are far more disappointing than the result.

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
Bristol were awful for 65 minutes, gave us so much attacking ball by trying to run from their own line, and we should have been 40 points up, not 19. Discipline has cost us again, as has lack of accuracy in attack. We managed to make Lahiff look like a good player. That's quite an astounding achieve...

Re: Doom and Gloom
To be completely fair, Saracens (and every other club for that matter) have "bang average" Premiership players - because, salary cap. They are just very good at making the team greater than the sum of its parts and a huge part of that comes down to consistency of coaching. I think this se...

It was the first time I watched him for more than a few minutes. He is a 13, definitely. Tigers need at least two more centres if Kelly leaves, one of those should be a playmaking 12 to allow us options that don’t involve moving Steward from his best position of 15. Kelly leaving and Steward moving...

Re: Race for the top 4.
True if Us and Saints both win today then we are 100% back in the top 4 race too... Probably the most interesting season finish for a long time, although I'd struggle to imagine us making top 4 now. Still hope though... If Saints and us win (5-0) today (or we get 5 and Bristol and Quins get 0). Our...

Re: Race for the top 4.
Top 4 is likely in the 53-57 points range. That means if they beat Newcastle they are just about there. Plus they have Northampton last week of the season where they may rotate if they have a home semifinal tied up. But if Saints don't do them a favour today, it's very likely that Saints won't have...
