Re: Dan Mckellar
Really should be an Aled Walters thread. I have ad nauseam pointed out that SB wasn't the loss, it was AW. Players who are megafit don't knock on, they reach those passes, hit those gaps, make those tackles etc., and win games in the last quarter. For various reasons we have become adept at losing, ...

Aled Walters. Gave us the stamina to grind teams down and win in the last quarter. It's not the players, it's the coaching.

Re: 23/24 Injury/Suspension/Absent International List
Different refs have their own lines the players shouldn't cross, which is understandable. Where it gets annoying to this viewer, especially given you can't hear everything that's said, is when a ref says "I don't want to hear from you again" and then remains all chummy with the other team...

Re: Craze for alternative club names
I agree. If your club has history don't meddle. If your club has no history nobody gives a monkeys because it has no association with the team. Who on earth gave the sharks handle to Sale? Doubt many get up the ship canal! Sharks up the ship(t) canal? Even they would turn back. (from a natal Manky).

I though we lost it once we replaced the front row. The scrum started to go in reverse, Cronin had been tackling Genge all day, and while we had Bristol on their knees at 60 mins, we were out of it by 70. They brought on two fast guys in Lahiff and Thacker, both who like broken field.

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: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
Agree with RaginBull. So now let’s put it right v Exeter and Sale starting by trusting some of the youngsters like Carnduff, Vanes, FFT etc. into the squad or be really brave and put Cole, Montoya and Wiese on the bench especially if Heyes is fit! As for fitness: it’s an odd one as vLeinster and Ne...

Re: Doom and Gloom
The fitness, or lack of it, is interesting. Yesterday, I was impressed by the speed of all of our players getting back to their feet and into position when defending - snuffing out Bristol attacks, and I thought at the time, how tiring that looked. The bench just did not bring the same levels of en...

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
:smt040 Just back from the game, very disappointed, there simply is no excuse for loosing a game from 19-0 up with 12 minutes to go. Replacements just not up to the task, especially Whitely, kicking possession away with two minutes to go, unforgivable. What should we have done? Well in the olden day...

Re: Doom and Gloom
A lot of complainers were asking for more youth - Carnduff, Illione, Woodward, Beets, possibly others like Chessum, L. that's quite a few to go along side Chessum O etc. I think next year will be the crux of McKellar's tenure, and will very much depend on the quality of further coaching appointments.

Hoping for something decent on Saturday as taking my footie mad eldest grandkids to the match. My only upset is Gelato Village being closed for refurbishment after the match - I was hoping to avoid the now inevitable McDonalds.

11.9 for 100m? That's slow. International wingers are under 11, some closer to 10.5. He wouldn't have made the 1960s Welsh team with that speed. Might be a typo TBH.

Well.....That's all the hopeful "We're gonna make the top four." Put to bed. Tigers just not up to snuff under this chap and have not been for some time. Biggest miss for me is Aled. The physical and mental sharpness just isn't there. Now waiting impatiently for a new start. Hopefully wit...
