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

In terms of young players coming through, there's attitude where you're supremely confident in your own ability and driven to get to the top and that manifests itself in many ways, work rate, leadership, ability etc - then there's misplaced attitude, where you think you should be playing at a higher...

That Falcons announcer/DJ bloke will crank it up, drowning out the commentary and belting out the tunes during every single break in play. Horrible !

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45

If we'd have won on Friday night it would have been the classic "papering over the cracks" scenario. Let's be blunt, we're not going to win anything this season. I get the club/coaches have to say that we're still in 2 competitions, but we're not. This isn't a new thing, we've been banging...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45

I thought Bassett was one of our bright points. His step on Evans was sublime and the Glaws winger did a decent defensive job to stifle that one. Like I said last night, why did we buy OHC and Bassett ? They’ve probably got neck problems watching the ball flying back and forth. Falling off tackles i...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45

It wasn’t long ago I was watching Hassell-Collins tearing it up for Irish and Bassett similarly for Wasps. They’re exciting players that thrive on quick ball. They must be stood there wondering why they moved to Tigers. When they do get the ball, it’s a wild pass either above head height or on their...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45

We are so predictable. I forgot how bad our arrack was before the break and it’s no better. We’re just letting Gloucester gain confidence and they’re cashing in.

McGuigan and Ludlow out injured for Glaws. A few posters on Shedweb blaming Hanro for the McGuigan injury !! Shame Ludlow isn't playing as he's good for a few penalties normally :smt018

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

Excellent though not unexpected news re Perese. On Beets personally I would be surprised if we spent cap money on another back rower. If the coaches feel he has the ability then sometimes youth needs to be given its head as Baxter has proved at Exeter. Slight aside a poster asked for explanations o...

Re: Tigers vs Gloucester (H) - Premiership - Friday 22nd March 2024 - KO:19.45

Shedhead, I don’t get the hype around Mercer, he was poor on Friday, dropped the ball, made 1 break and very little else, plus didn’t seem that happy in the post match interview. I’d stick with Clement if I were Skivington, he always makes metres and looks impressive. I’d imagine he’ll leave if he c...

It's a bit of a random one, but it's like Hamilton's move to Ferrari in F1, I'd like to fast forward to next season - it could be exciting.

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

You have to look positively on the Beets signing surely ? What players could have been on a par or an improvement on Jasper ? Earl maybe ? Cunningham-South (CCS - we need a glossary for these 3 letter abbreviations) is a good prospect but I don't think he's got the power or dynamism of Wiese - certa...

He might even attract a sugar daddy !
I'm glad we've snared him
