This sounds sensible to me. Use this weekend's game as a carrot and reward any decent displays with a bench spot, or starting depending on position.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 9:04 pm As it's a Tigers XV next weekend I'd see who steps up then and I'd be tempted to give them a real shot vs Sale if they do well.

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
Sorry that Whitley took flack from the fans, he is young but the question is why did he come over to the Crumbie and argue, he should have stayed away over in the middle? Presumably he came over to thank the fans for attending the game, copped an earful, and responded, as emotions were no doubt hig...

Wasn’t Whiteley decent in earlier games ? Seems like he’s copping the flack for a collective effort ?

Wasn’t at the game and didn’t catch it on tv so can’t comment on referee or decisions, all I know is I checked at 19-7 and thought “we’ve won this”. Story of our season. I expected a 20 point Bristol win, but this feels worse given the position we were in.

Re: Doom and Gloom
Agreed. Everything has to be now, instant success and if it's not forthcoming it's "sack the coaches". There's no patience. All we want to see is improvements, that's the frustration for me. There are obviously factors around why that hasn't happened and I understand that.

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
Decent interview with Joe Heyes on the Rolling Maul podcast. Interesting how dramatic we all are after the loss at Saints (can you imagine how the players would be if they reacted in a similar fashion), whereas the staff/players are focusing on that first half, where we nullified their attack and im...

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
12 months ago, Freddie Steward was the best full-back in the world. He was so good in fact, that teams changed how they played to nullify his threat. The game evolved and now Freddie does too. He may not have the pace, Scott Hamilton never did, but his stride makes up for that, and actually, if tea...

Regarding Hodge, the last two games I’ve watched him play for Exeter and England A, I lost count of the number of times he decided not to pass to a teammate in a better position and instead go into contact on his own. :smt018 Noticed that looks like he brought too much into his own wonder try hype....

Re: LEICESTER TIGERS 2023/24 - KANGAROO MCKELLER: Do you come from a land down under? (Squad thread pt 2)
Going back to some of the leavers, I did see a bit of Cusick and Edwards at Notts and whilst I'm not a scout, I didn't see anything from both of those players in a Championship environment that said "these are Premiership ready". Of the others, same with Ilione. That's not to say that anot...

A combination of all of the above. Confidence probably gone, given every week you're stood out on the wing wondering if you'll ever get the ball and if you do, is it from Kelly, Kata, Scott or someone else. Like I said, I would guess he's a player that needs an arm around him and being told how good...

Radio silence on George Martin still. Given his prolonged absence I reckon we won't see him again this season, sadly.

Re: Tigers v Bristol (H) - Premiership - Saturday 27th April 2024 - KO: 15-00
I know it's unlikely, but whilst there's still a chance of Top 4 we should be going full beans in my opinion, otherwise the "they've given up" brigade will have a stronger case. As good as Bristol have been, the small pitch doesn't really suit their game and gives our defence a better chan...
