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.

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

Re: Formerly of this parish
Always was in 2 minds about Manu. At his best he was a star for the club and responsible for one of my favorite nights at Welford Road (V South Africa with my now passed dad). but the way that he left after having spent so much of his time at the club on the sidelines still rubs a bit raw. Yes, thi...

All discussions tigers will always eventually end up about Loffreda It is a fair comparison, no? I appreciate it was 16 years ago at this point, but a coach coming in, affected by World Cup year. Purely based on league results - 1999/00 - Dean Richards - Finished 1st - Champions 2003/04 - Dean Rich...

Olowefela and Odogwu should be included in the chat about wingers that didn't make it here, the latter becoming an Italian international Once again, you have the situation of defensive fraility or large egos (2 former u20 10s come to mind) at a young stage, and clubs deciding departure is best for ...

When Alex Lewington left us, AlexTuilagi was still playing as was Geordan Murphy and we had Matt Tait, Scott Hamilton and I think Horatio Agulla possibly.others, opportunities on the wing were limited for a young player. There have been a few young players leave to play regularly at a lower level a...

Re: Black Lions fixture
Neither Bob Dwyer nor Matt O'Connor were exactly reticent in expressing their feelings about Tigers dispensing with their services. Deano was unfairly sacked after his aging and tired team couldn't regain former form following the England World Cup win, he did sign Ramiro Pez though. There were peo...
