No but that's not unusual for Tigers coaches

In my ignorance I wrongly assumer Curtis Langden was a product of Saints Academy but in reality he was signed from Montpelier having been priorly at Worcester and Sale beforehand for some 6yrs. Must say that prior to his time as Saints I had never heard of him.

I disagree. If you've got multiple threats in the pack it becomes very difficult for the opposition to target your breakdown threat and mark them on game. The Irish national team being a great example of this where so many of them are great over the ball but also physical on both sides of the ball....

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

I think if the club have any more signings ready they really could do with rolling them out soon. Most especially an attack coach announcement for next year... The club needs to get ahead of some of the negativity and give the fans a shot in the arm and a boost. I would like the club to publicly se...

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05

Saints have been building for a long time, I'll be interested to see how they do next year without Ludlum and Lawes. Bath are doing well and I would expect us to be doing just as well by this point next year, right in the mix for the playoffs. That said, it's still very possible that they don't mak...

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05

Nothing to say that we can't. How long has van Graan been at Bath, Dowson & Vesty at Saints, and McKellar at Tigers? And Bath and Saints have only really been successful this season. Van Graan joined Bath in 2022 and Dowson joined Saints as assistant coach under Boyd in 2017 and Vesty in 2018. ...

Re: Race for the top 4.

Saints 54pts Bath 49 Sarries 47 Bristol 45 Quins 44 Sale 42 Exeter 40 Tigers 39 So now it's out of our hands. x3 5-0 wins ensures us 5th place, but still highly likely to be 4th place... Question is are we capable of getting 15 points from our last 3 games, our form at the moment says virtually def...

Re: Tigers v Saints (A) - Premiership - Saturday 20th April 2024 - KO: 15-05

I may have missed the posters who (I probably missed it when skipping the bickering) congratulated Northampton not only on the win and the manner in which they play the game, but also that they have built a winning team without any big name signings and by using an ex-player as head coach. They are...

I may have got this wrong but in the season under SB when we won the championship didn’t SB say almost word for word what DM is saying? “The focus is now on performance in the next game, where we end up depends on how successful we are with our performance “. It is an easy cliche to espouse. Actual...

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

I have often posted that Tigers lack genuine pace and a ball carrying threat. I thought we solved that issue signing OHC and Watson not to mention Wiese. Strikes me that OHC as has been widely muted is a different player from when he was at Irish, Watson is still long term injured and Wiese is off. ...

From this point on in the season I'm not really worried about the playoffs either. We need to be focusing on fixing the things that are going wrong. Fair point your are entitled to express your opinion I think his point was right that they couldn’t focus on the playoffs they have to focus on the pe...
