Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
I think a more experienced stop gap might be a logical idea, but might be an unaffordable one. Shillcock has proved he can do a job at 10 so I think focus should probably be on recuiting Pollard's replacement ahead of next season IF he is moving on. I'd prefer a decent project player. I used him as...

No offence to anyone, but an anonymous person on the Internet (with no apparent track record for having inside info), claiming an anonymous source for some information, doesn't make for a very persuasive level of credibility - especially when the anonymous person consistently displays an almost trib...

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...

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: Hotel Brooklyn now Voco
Hotel Brooklyn brand was created and operated by Bespoke Hotels. They sold the brand and the two hotels to Kew Green Hotels, who operate a number of hotels under IHG franchises. The Hotel Brooklyn brand is being scrapped, and both properties will be rebranded under IHG's Voco. KGH bought the leaseh...

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...
