I for one am un dire need of good news...

Such as?

The 9 succession is currently JVP and Whiteley and the latter is a 4th choice 9 at his very best I actually really like the look of young Ollie Allan and think he can make an impact next season. (Edit: IF given the chance) I think Simmonds was a brilliant scrum half prior to injury and that put pay...

Why did JvP come off???? He didn’t look tired we have played Youngs for 70-80 mins before I don’t why we made so many subs earlier than Bristol? Front row could have stayed an extra 10 mins Totally agree! Seems to me Mckellar decided we had already won the game and brought on the dross and it was a...

What was better? Handling - fewer passes went behind/ over/ into touch. Cohesion - The defensive structure held together really well for 70 minutes What was worse/the same? We were mauling them to bits on their 5m line while they were playing 7s scoring opportunities going amiss Decision making. Ye...

The biggest gripe with the Mike Brown take is that I see Jasper get hit like that 10 times a game. But no punishment is given because he’s a hard git. The end result shouldn’t be a determining play. It needs to be reffed equally Van Rensenburg milked that penalty to perfection and acted like he had...

As ever, many people are fixating on the last 10 (or even last 2) minutes. For me, the first 70 minutes contained some of the most cohesive periods of our entire season. In attack, we maintained field position and thus pressure until they had a player binned. We then capitalised on that period and ...

The replacements today just added nothing for me. You can blame Whiteley all you want but it was obviously the instructions he’d got. So don’t blame the player. I think he probably slices the kick. If it goes deep into the Bristol 22 with Steward in pursuit then it's an aerial battle and Bristol ca...

Why did we re sign whitely? I would love to know if anyone can come up with 1 good reason. Why is Carley a ref at this level? I give up on watching this dross. I have been a Tigers supporter for 60 years but this year may well be my last :smt013 Some on here think he is brilliant and he is demonstr...

The actor who plays Tommy Foster in Blue Lights is a George Ford lookalike

:smt026 7 Agree about the turmoil but it is hardly the clubs fault if England take all of their coaches. Regarding churn quite a few sides have made wholesale changes which often happens when a new head coach is appointed even Exeter and Saracens have made many changes and they have a settled coachi...

I appreciate this is not the point of the thread but I just think we've lost (for a wide ranging and multi faceted set of reasons) many of our best players this past 2-3 years and replaced them with bang average. As noted on other threads, come the summer we'll have lost Genge, Dolly, Nephi, Green,...

Agreed next seasons player recruitment and retention decisions are unfathomable.
