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

Without trying to sound rude, do you know this for sure? My friend is very well informed and was pretty adamant about this ‘back loading’ I’m not sure how you could average the cap, surely it’s the amount paid in wages in that season, with clubs choosing to have an advantage one season, disadvantag...

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

I heard no further ‘significant’ incomings, that’s why I think it’s possible we could move some on to bring in the likes of Moroni. Also heard from a Pal at Bristol, something I’d not considered, in that contracts need not be linear, he said some of their players had agreed deals over 2/3 years wit...

Re: Dan Mckellar

I do get that there are nuances to it, trial and error etc, plus many may never have worked under a top S&C coach. The bit that does me is a specific issue was addressed by a top S&C coach only a season or two ago and we’re now encountering that exact same issue again. Surely there has to b...

Re: Dan Mckellar

I’ve always thought it odd, and this is coming from someone that’s never played competitive team sport, do elite players just forgot what was working before? A massive focus when Aled and Steve can’t in was turning around our habit of going away in the final 20, they put it right but now we’re back...

It's also a lifestyle/life experience choice.
Definitely more players seeking a different lifestyle experience towards the ends of their careers these days.

Who can blame them?

Wacokecoke has some exciting talent, but makes too many errors. You never know whether he's going to beat 3 defenders, or trip over and drop the ball.

Sam James would be a very good signing, but I feel like he's got France written all over him.

Not overly impressed with Barton when I've seen him, but might be a good project player at the right price, if he's happy still being number 2. I'm in the minority, but I'd take Billy V for a season, unless we have someone else waiting in the wings, at the right price. I suspect he wouldn't be avail...

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

No issue with the club trying to get a bit more revenue, and it doesn't look like it reduces the benefit of season tickets or anything else. I'm surprised that anyone is offended by it. That said, I don't see anything particularly interesting in the list of benefits, certainly not for £800 per year....

Re: Karl Dickson

In my opinion Dickson is one of the top referees in the world at the moment. That says more about the general standard of officiating than Dickson himself. He is considerably better than he was, but he's no Barnes or Owens. Meanwhile, back in 2013... If you can't do the time, don't do the crime!! R...

Tigers could only make the Attack Coach tole redundant if they weren't intending to get a new Attack Coach. You make a role redundant, not a person.

Re: Please get behind your team v Exeter

Great Post, agree wholeheartedly. However, I thought Pollard gave everything against Sale - a couple of huge tackles and some good stuff with ball in hand.
